Entering 2026, the true factor that can widen the wealth gap is never about how sophisticated trading skills are, but rather the discipline to see the direction early and hold long-term.



Most people are busy with short-term opportunities every day—chasing this hot topic today, switching to that concept tomorrow—but they don't realize that the real logic to rewrite asset curves is quite simple: step into the right track before consensus forms, then wait. Don't chase the hot trends; instead, focus on those structural trends that are accelerating in realization.

How exactly to position? Several directions worth paying attention to:

In AI infrastructure, companies related to chips and computing power are accelerating; in space and defense, the industry is moving from conceptual phase to order delivery phase; in AI energy, the focus is on how to meet the energy demands of expanding computing power; fintech platform companies are accumulating through the flywheel effect of users and data; and some deep-tech companies with generational differences, though currently inconspicuous, hold huge potential.

Looking at these data points makes it clear—some chip company has risen 986%, a fintech platform has increased by 291%. These returns are not because someone entered early, but because someone held firm when market sentiment was at its lowest and disagreements were at their peak.

The competition in 2026, frankly, is not about how busy you are, but whether you are standing at the starting point of the next decade's trend. The real opportunities come from turning points that evolve from "unnoticed" to "market consensus"—changes in AI, new energy, and foundational infrastructure are key. Early positioning and patient waiting are the winning strategies in this game.

You're right, but it's easier said than done. Very few people can truly endure.

Waiting for the moment when it goes from being ignored to being loved by everyone. Now is the best ambush point.

That's true, but sticking to long-term holding is easier said than done. Mindset really is the biggest enemy.

That's right, it's just a matter of patience. Last year, I fully invested in a few infrastructure projects, and now they've doubled, while friends are still losing money day trading.

That's right, you just need to have that patience; most people simply can't sit still.

That's right, but the concern is whether they can hold on. Too many people cut their losses at the first dip.

That's true, but frankly, most people can't do it at all. I myself am also struggling daily with temptations.

Sticking to it is really hard. I always want to buy the dip, but end up chasing the high... Can I hold back this time?

Sounds good, but those 986% returns... the real chips were already taken by some original addresses when the price was at $0.01. The "trend" you're seeing now was actually completed long ago, as on-chain footprints already show the fund migration trajectory.

Well said, it's all about endurance. Only by enduring until others give up can you truly reap the rewards.
