Over the past few years observing the market, I’ve noticed a phenomenon: most people are always chasing new concepts, new ecosystems, and new projects. But looking back at history, only a few have truly survived each cycle.

BTC and ETH are the two with the strongest certainty. This is my current core understanding and the direction I am readjusting my positions towards. Gradually concentrating my holdings into these two leading assets, the reason is simple—I’ve seen too many other pitfalls. Ecosystem tokens unlocking and plunging, teams disappearing outright, entire ecosystems just vanishing... I’ve seen enough of these to have a clear sense.

Honestly, the uncertainty surrounding new projects and various ecosystem tokens is just too high. In comparison, returning to fundamentals and holding the most certain assets has become the clearest choice.

According to historical patterns, around March or April 2026, it should be a good opportunity to sell. But for now, patience is key—secure your assets and wait for time to give the answer. This kind of waiting is much more valuable than frequent trading.

Really, once you see through it, that's how it is—chasing new projects is a gamble with your life. ETH and BTC are indeed stable, and I am gradually adjusting my positions. I've long stayed away from all those ecosystem tokens; I've learned too many painful lessons. Waiting until 2026 is the right move; there's no need to rush. Right now, it's about quietly accumulating coins, and not listening to those who are shouting about cutting leeks.

Alright, the secondary market is like this; chasing the hot trends always ends up making you the bag holder. --- BTC and ETH are indeed the only answers; everything else is just gambling. --- In April 2026, I am also waiting for this window. --- That's right, I've seen too many projects run away with investors' money. --- Frequent trading really only pays transaction fees to the exchange; let's just stay passive. --- To friends still aggressively buying various ecosystem tokens, good luck to you. --- This is why I have converted 99% of my coins into the two main champions. --- Historical patterns are just truths built from accumulated experience and lessons. --- Wait and see, let's see how many times you can multiply your earnings by 2026.

It's the same old argument... Alright, the so-called laws of history sound nice, but in reality, it's just survivor bias dressed up. BTC and ETH are indeed resistant to manipulation, but treating these two as the only answer? Feels a bit too safe.

This is my current state, and I truly understand it now. Really, chasing after those flashy ecosystem tokens is just asking for trouble. It's better to hold onto BTC and ETH and sleep peacefully. That's right, certainty is the most valuable thing. Thinking about those vanished projects again, I can't help but smile. Waiting for 2026, this is a game of patience. That feels so good to say; frequent trading indeed results in losses.
