Is there still a chance to break even after buying altcoins at the top? There’s a highly upvoted reply online that goes like this: The fantasy of breaking even is a poison. The whales worked so hard to dump their tokens on you because they want your hard-earned money, draining every last bit of your liquidity. Afraid of triggering mass panic selling, they occasionally pump the price for a rebound, giving you hope so you can’t bear to cut your losses. Then, as you keep averaging down, sinking deeper and deeper, your funds are completely trapped, and the coin price slowly goes to zero.
