The biggest problem with altcoin speculators is the fear of not having enough players, so they use methods like pump and draw lines, and create trends to attract enough participants, regardless of whether you are going long or short, the speculators always have a way to harvest.

It's just like doing business; the cost of pumping and drawing lines must be recouped, and if there's still momentum, the business continues. Therefore, meme coins can continue to be pumped at high levels as long as there are people willing to participate.

Only small-cap altcoins can be played this way, while major coins like Bitcoin are much harder to manipulate because they do not support arbitrary fluctuations of several times, making it challenging to complete the harvesting. Moreover, the main players have shifted to institutions, and the amount of capital they control makes it difficult for them to operate in the short term because the market cannot absorb that many orders at once.

Thus, altcoins come quickly and leave quickly, while Bitcoin comes slowly and leaves slowly.

The question arises: in the long run, should we play with altcoins or Bitcoin?
