2025 is coming to an end.

Looking back at this year's market, the deepest realization is one word—磨 (grind). Wave after wave of fluctuations, wearing down how many people's patience. Many veteran players around me ultimately chose to exit, and only then did they truly understand the weight of a saying:

The crypto market has never been about the explosive profits of a single wave, but about whether you can survive long enough.

It sounds simple, but few can actually do it. There are too many variables here, which can easily lead to confusion. But have you noticed, those who have lasted until now are more or less a bit tough—resilient in heart, strong in stress resistance, not easily swayed by market sentiment.

This is the foundation of making money. As long as you haven't exited, opportunities are always waiting for you. Leading coins like BTC and ETH are constantly giving new chances with each cycle.

In 2026, I hope everyone is not just alive, but able to move forward steadily and make life a bit more interesting.

BTC1,34%

ETH2,03%

There's nothing wrong with the word "grind," but those who can truly endure are indeed tough people. I just watch a bunch of people around me struggle for a year and then give up. Honestly, it's still a matter of poor mentality.

As long as you are alive, you have won, this phrase hits the heart --- Exactly, grinding is the harshest screening mechanism in the market --- Those who endure are true men, without resilience, you can't hold on --- Wait, do the old players who have left now regret it haha --- By 2026, it all depends on who can avoid being driven by emotions --- Having some toughness is indeed standard; without it, you’re out immediately --- Each round of BTC offers the same opportunity, the key is whether you dare to get back on the train --- Better to live well than just stay alive, that’s true skill --- It’s really tough, several people around me have given up --- Mental resilience determines everything; technical analysis is all虚的

The character "磨" is spoken of so profoundly; this past year, I've been磨ed to exhaustion. Watching people around me one by one跑路, I really need to be a bit ruthless to坚持. --- Those who have made it this far are not善茬, that's for sure. You really need a坚硬心性. --- No doubt about it,拼耐心 is much more靠谱 than拼运气. I'm now just抱着BTC不撒手. --- Another year has passed, and I feel like I am among those repeatedly被市场反复蹂躏的人, but I still haven't离场. What kind of毛病 is that, haha. --- People who离场 might赚得更爽, but we're still here, waiting for 2026. --- The worst thing is熬不住了离场, then一转身涨到天上去—that would be so难受. --- Honestly, if by 2026 we're still here, that means we've already赢了一大半. The rest can慢慢来吧.

Having endured for a year is indeed exhausting, but compared to those who have run away, just being alive is already a win. Keep holding on for another round; BTC still has to go up. It sounds nice, but how many can truly persist? I'm anyway on the edge of collapse. I've heard this a hundred times, but the question is, when will the next round come? Strong resistance to pressure? Ha, my resilience has long been worn down. Living without moving is the biggest victory; these days, no one can live more meaningfully.

The truth is simple, but there are just too many people who can't hold on. --- It's truly exhausting, but more so the mentality—this is the real killer. --- Living long enough makes it easy to say, but those who can actually do it are still getting beaten up. --- Every round offers a chance, but every round can also weed people out. It's tough. --- All the veteran players have left, and I'm still here. I don't know if it's resilience or just foolishness. --- Being resilient and able to withstand pressure sounds easy, but when it comes to critical moments, who doesn't want to run? --- Don't aim for a promotion in 2026; just staying alive is good enough. --- The foundation of making money? I think the first step is being able to withstand losing money. --- The moment patience wears thin, one by one, the people around me start dropping out. --- The opportunity is right there, just afraid of not having enough bullets to get on board.
