Reality check: these past 18 to 24 months have been wild. New tokens hitting exchanges every single hour, FOMO everywhere, everyone's glued to charts hunting the next 100x.
But remember how trading actually worked back in the day? NFT season showed us the formula: maybe one, two solid plays per day if you were lucky. You had to sit tight, watch patiently, do real DD. That was it.
Here's the thing nobody talks about—more opportunities doesn't mean more money. It usually means more noise, more liquidations, more blown accounts. The market rewards discipline over volume.
2026 playbook: quality over quantity. Wait for your setups. Let the endless coin launches be background noise. The traders making real money aren't the ones chasing everything; they're the ones who know which coins matter and when to actually pull the trigger.
Patience isn't outdated. It's profitable.

Listen, there's nothing wrong with what you said. I am the one who lost money during this process, constantly refreshing the coin list, and as a result, my account's value plummeted. Looking back now, it's really embarrassing.
It's just that I was too greedy, wanting to get in on everything I saw. I really need to change this habit by 2026.

ngl, this is exactly what I've been saying: 99% of the new coins flooding the market every day are trash, and the ones that actually make money are those few old-school pump-and-dump schemes.

ngl, this is exactly what I've been wanting to hear someone say... Those who are constantly spamming to chase new coins have indeed blown up.

Honestly, with new coins being bombarded every day, it's dazzling... But it seems like the ones really making money are those veterans who hold steady and don't move.

That's right, frequent operations are just giving money to the exchange.
