#2026年比特币行情展望 In the crypto market, the results of trading can roughly be divided into three types of people. Some lose everything overnight, some gradually achieve financial freedom, and others seem busy every day, but end up with mediocre results. Today, let's talk about these three scenarios.



**Type 1: Sliding step by step into the abyss**

Many people enter the crypto space with the hope of getting rich quickly, but this mindset itself is a trap. Using leverage, chasing after "shitcoins," or even borrowing money to trade—these actions may seem aggressive, but in reality, they are gambling with your life. The volatility in the crypto market is much higher than traditional finance; a 50% correction is not unusual. Once a leveraged position is liquidated, the account is wiped out. Or if a project team runs away or a coin becomes worthless, those who went all-in are truly all out.

Security issues are also silent killers. Losing private keys, exchanges getting hacked, phishing scams—these risks happen every day, and a single mistake can be fatal. Mistakes in operations carry huge costs in this field.

**Type 2: Making money in a simple and straightforward way**

Those who truly achieve financial freedom through crypto assets are often the ones who seem the "most boring." They only buy Bitcoin and other widely accepted mainstream coins, buy when they have spare money, hold without selling, and don't even watch the market much. These people are less "trading" and more "asset allocation," similar to buying property or gold—essentially holding high-quality assets.

Their secret is just eight words: heavy holdings + long-term holding. It sounds simple, but very few people can stick with it because it requires resisting various temptations and market noise.

**Type 3: Busy but water splashes from the bamboo basket**

Many smart and diligent people fall into this category. They spend time researching various small projects, tracking airdrops, analyzing the market, and seem to gain something every day. But the problem is, they also understand that these assets carry high risks, so they never dare to hold large positions. After a year of hard work, their returns are pitifully small.

Another group frequently trades in waves. They keep an eye on the screen, believing they can avoid every small correction, but often end up being left behind, missing the real big trend. They can't quite grasp the market rhythm.

The last group is people whose personalities are simply not suited for investing. The core logic of investing often runs counter to human nature, but most people still chase rising prices, sell at high points, follow the herd into the market, cut losses at lows, and even rush to sell at the slightest rise. With this trading pattern, they will never be able to fully participate in the big market moves.

**Final words**

In this market, IQ is not the decisive factor; character cultivation is. Whether you can control greed and fear, resist temptation, and stick to your plan—these are more valuable than intelligence. Let's cultivate ourselves together on this journey.

That was really harsh. The group of people in the third category are actually me from last year, studying small coins every day, but in the end, I was no better than just lying flat and holding BTC.

The description of the third category is a bit heart-wrenching... Studying projects and chasing airdrops every day, but not daring to really go all-in. After a year, the returns are almost the same as if I hadn't done anything. Logically, this is actually a contradiction between risk aversion and action. One needs to clarify that the real issue is not the research itself, but the disconnect between execution and psychological resilience.

It's a bit harsh, but that's really how it is. I'm the kind of person in the third category, studying small coins every day, but all I get are consolation prizes. --- The second group really made a fortune, just buying BTC and sleeping with it. Meanwhile, I'm over here researching Meme coins. --- Too many friends have been wiped out; leveraging really isn't something humans should do. --- Holding long-term? Easier said than done. Less than 1% can truly resist checking the market. --- So ultimately, self-control is still essential; otherwise, no matter how smart you are, it's useless. --- This article hits a bit close to home; it feels like it's talking about me. --- Cultivating character is more valuable than any technical analysis.

The second type is the truth, boring is profitable, those who sleep peacefully holding Bitcoin have indeed made money.

I think the second type of people are the real winners—just watching boring but steady. I also want to be a boring person, but my mindset is terrible. I've seen too many cases of borrowing money to trade crypto, with countless examples of losing everything. Most people just can't resist the urge to swing trade; that's where the difficulty lies. Honestly, it's still a human nature problem—greed can break long-term plans in a second. I'm already the third type, kind of regretting not going all-in on BTC earlier. Holding simply and straightforwardly requires a sufficiently ruthless mindset. Chasing small coins is really a waste of life; I've experienced it firsthand. Hanging on, not knowing how long it can last, leverage is indeed a scythe of the Grim Reaper.

That was harsh, the part about the third category really hit me... Studying small coin airdrops every day, but after a year, it's still not as good as just holding a little bit of BTC while lying down.
