The first lesson you need to learn in 2026: Understanding Market Survivorship Bias

Most traders around you in 2025 have generally achieved significant gains—some have multiplied their investments tenfold, some have steady monthly income. It doesn't sound surprising to make a hundred million U.S. dollars. But in chat groups, only a few actually share their performance.

Looking at your own account, the end of the year may not be very ideal. This is actually the most worth reflecting on: don't rush to learn others' trading methods, first understand why you missed out, why you chased the high, and why you didn't seize the opportunity.

Before the next cycle arrives, spending time to understand your trading mindset might be more important than any trading technique.

🔥 Honestly, the most heard voices are from those few people bragging. What about others? They're just quietly bleeding. I'm puzzled why people only start reflecting after losing money. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? That said, attitude is indeed more valuable than skills, but most people simply can't change.

I'm the one who always chases after missed opportunities and buys high; I've heard of tenfold gains but never seen them. The one who should always reflect is myself.

No matter how many success stories you hear, it’s useless; you still need to recognize your own capabilities first. That's right, survivor bias is really a curse, always focusing on those few who made big profits. I am the one who chased the highs, and now I regret it to death. Mindset > skills, this hits hard... need to reflect and think. Every time I listen to others' trades, I never consider why I always miss out. Actually, losing money is probably the best teacher. In the chat group, those who post their wins, who knows if they are real or fake... I think most people haven't even figured out why they are losing money. Before the next cycle comes, it's really time to calm down and think. This is probably the biggest lie in the crypto world: the ones who pick up the bargains are always a minority.
