Build my fear of what's out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
Fear of living on...

The market is in full... I won't swear, everything is on the edge: Fear & Greed Index fell to 5–8 (Extreme Fear, lowest since the COVID crash). After the hype of 2025, everyone is in a panic, the headlines scream "end of the cycle", and I open the terminal and smile.
"Buy when everyone is afraid" — not a quote, but a working strategy. While most are selling under this "fear of living on", here is where I park my capital:
👍💎 🐅TOP-5 altcoins to buy on fear in 2026:
#Ethereum ($ETH ): About $1,950–$2,000 after the downward breakout. Deep discount before the new institutional rally. Classic.

#Solana ($SOL ): The ecosystem dominates in consumer apps and memes. Always rebounds stronger than the market on pullbacks.
#FetchAI (FET / ASI): AI is the main narrative of 2026. ASI leads in decentralized AI. Hype has cooled → price has dropped → I am increasing.

#Bittensor (TAO): Decentralized ML for funds. In fear, such projects drop first, but soar significantly.
#Sui ($SUI ): A dark horse with TVL growth and tech superiority. Waiting for an explosion on the rebound.

Your move: Which coins are you buying right now while the index is in the 5–8 zone?
February 2026 tests resilience. But the biggest gains are born in such fear — don’t give up, brother🫀🥃
