Dear traders, as we enter 2026, I want to discuss a somewhat painful topic—why do so many people keep struggling in the crypto market and end up with nothing in the end?

Over the years, I have interacted with many traders, witnessing everything from margin calls to turning things around, from impatience to composure, observing countless cases. Gradually, I’ve discovered a pattern: those who truly survive in the market are never the most aggressive, but the most patient ones.

Many believe that successful trading relies on divine-level operations or insider information. Actually, not at all. The method I use is rather the simplest—sounds even a bit "dumb." But it’s this "dumb" approach that helps people break out of the vicious cycle of repeated losses.

**Level One: Surviving is more important than doubling**

With every trader I’ve worked with, I emphasize the same principle: before you have a solid foundation of capital, don’t think about soaring to the sky.

What does this mean? Not chasing hot trends, not over-leveraging, and not panicking over one or two fluctuations. What we need to do is: wait when it’s time to wait, act when it’s time to act. Most of the time, accounts grow steadily when they are "not moving."

Initially, many people don’t understand and think it’s a waste of opportunity. It’s only after they stick to this logic for a while that they realize—accounts can really grow bit by bit. That feeling is much more reassuring than jumping in at the high and betting a few times to double.

**Level Two: Understand the logic, not just follow the herd**

The crypto market is never short of opportunities. What’s lacking are those who truly understand and can hold onto them.

When I discuss trades with traders, I don’t just look at price levels. I lay out the logic: why can I enter at this point? Under what circumstances should I cut losses? Which market conditions should I observe and stay on the sidelines? What are the patterns of major coins like $BTC, $ETH?

Once you start understanding this way of thinking, you’ll realize: trading isn’t about gambling luck, but about a repeatable skill. Interestingly, many people, after following this approach for a while, can move forward steadily even without guidance. That’s what truly has value.

**Level Three: Patience is a competitive advantage**

I’ve seen the most margin calls happen to those who trade too frequently. Conversely, the moments that truly widen the gap often occur during days when "doing nothing."

When the market doesn’t give clear signals, we stay in cash and wait. Once an opportunity is confirmed, we focus and follow through. No chasing hot trends, no chasing thrills—just focus on truly valuable opportunities. The market moves of hot coins like $VIC, $NFT are driven by real demand in some cases, and just hype in others—learning to distinguish between the two is a skill in itself.

Over time, you’ll find that account growth is never about getting rich overnight, but about consistent, day-by-day accumulation. I don’t make false promises of "guaranteed profits," but one thing I can be sure of: if you’re on the right path, profits will naturally follow.

**Advice for 2026**

Stop relying on luck to get results. The crypto market is brutal, but it rewards not gamblers, but disciplined, patient traders who truly understand the logic. Keep a steady mindset, make the right choices, and time will ultimately prove everything.
