#比特币2026年行情展望 An old player at the dinner table threw out a sentence that made me ponder for several days: "In the crypto world now, it's not about who chooses correctly, but who masters the rhythm."



Thinking about it carefully, that's indeed true.$BERA $AXS

Over the years, I've seen too many self-proclaimed seasoned investors still stubbornly stuck on one question: Is contract trading faster profit or spot trading more stable? The question itself is wrong.

The market has long since changed its approach. That old mindset—"Spot is safe, time can level everything"—has been repeatedly proven wrong by reality. What you hold might not be quality assets, but just slowly evaporating paper.

There was a guy who went all-in on spot during the bull market, confidently saying he would hold for three years. But when the bear market hit, his 120,000 USD principal shrank to just over 10,000. Later, hearing the market conditions, he shook his head: "Never touching it again."

But do you know where the most ironic part is?

He didn't lose money from the rise and fall of coins at all; he was completely washed out by the rhythm repeatedly.

I've also suffered this loss myself. At that time, I only thought about holding long-term, but a wave of correction wiped out all my profits. Only then did I realize—it's time to change the way I play.

Instead of betting on which direction is right, it's better to precisely grasp the market rhythm. Ride the waves when they come, take profits when available. Even earning just 10% or 20% at a time is stable and repeatable.

Recently, I traded COAI short-term, entered a short position at 14.9, and closed it at 14.1 within less than a day, pocketing 9,800 USD in one trade. No luck involved, just mastering the rhythm.

The current market feels like a game testing patience.

Mainstream coins are stagnant, small coins are dying out, and dreaming of tenfold or hundredfold turnarounds is like drinking poison to quench thirst. If you want to make money, you must learn a harsh reality: when opportunities don't come, focus on defense.

I often tell people: in crypto, money is made by mastering the rhythm and protecting your position. Take a quick profit and run, settle quickly, earn small gains monthly, and compound yearly—that's the way to survive the longest.

The past story was about拼叙事 (storytelling) and拼愿景 (vision). Today's game rules have changed: focus on execution and discipline.

There are many who can read the charts, but those who truly make money are the ones who can immediately adapt when they see they are wrong. That’s what makes a real veteran.

Starting in 2026, I want to give everyone a piece of advice:

Don’t chase the hot trends; control your own rhythm. Don’t gamble for overnight riches; bet on steady growth. The big direction is up to the market, but the rhythm—it's in your hands.

Rhythm is easy to talk about but hard to do. Not many can truly stick with it.

Exactly right, rhythm is the key, and I only understand it after being washed out myself.

That's right, rhythm is the key. On my side as well, stop-loss discipline is more important than anything else.

Timing the rhythm is much more important than choosing coins, there's no doubt about that. --- That guy who has been in spot trading for three years is truly miserable; all he's made are tears. --- That's right, but who doesn't find it difficult to execute? The toughest part is maintaining the right mindset. --- Making 9800U in a day is indeed something that requires a deep understanding of the market. --- Earning small profits every month and compounding annually sounds simple, but it takes a lot of guts to do it. --- Really, the era of storytelling is over; now it's all about who can survive the longest. --- I just want to know how to lock in the rhythm completely—that's the real skill.
