Let me tell you something surreal. Last December, I had saved up about 9,800 PNUT tokens. I planned to hold them long-term and wait for a turnaround, but as the market kept dropping, I started trading frequently—buying on dips, selling on rebounds, going back and forth.
The craziest part? I never put a single extra cent in during this whole process. Just by trading, I managed to snowball my position up to 70,000 tokens. That’s more than a sevenfold increase—sounds impressive, right?
But in reality, the total value of my account kept shrinking. The more tokens I accumulated, the less money I actually had. Looking back at my position records now, it's both funny and frustrating—a classic case of "quantity freedom, wealth regression." This round of trading really tied me up in knots; trying to trade in a downtrend is just that bittersweet.

This is the legendary "more coins, less money" phenomenon, the ceiling for T traders.

The ceiling for doing T is more coins and less money, this is the self-discipline of new investors.

token velocity trap in action... accumulating bags while liquidity evaporates is basically the textbook ponzinomics playbook ngl

This is what's known as "the more coins you have, the closer you are to bankruptcy." I know that feeling, haha.

This is what it means to lose more the more you do. It looks like there’s a lot of volume, but in reality, you’re losing badly.

Haha, this must be the so-called "paper millionaire", right? More coins but less money, that's what it is.
