10 Tips for Players Still in the Crypto Market in 2026

Hold is already a thing of the past.

In a market dominated by institutions, there is no broad-based bull market.

In a bear market, make sure to move coins to a secure wallet.

Don't entrust your life to exchanges, and definitely don't bet that platforms will never have issues.

The flow of funds is the answer.

Where the money goes, the opportunities are, abandon the so-called ambush and early positions.

Stay away from institutional traps.

Coins with a market cap of several billion and less than 10% circulation should all be viewed as VC traps.

In an era of overcapacity, application is king.

A ghost town public chain that no one uses is not worth your effort to find any narrative for.

Position structure must be realistic.

60% in $BTC / $ETH / $SOL,

30% in narrative leaders and Memes.

Try to choose assets that are sufficiently transparent and highly decentralized.

Even if it’s a Meme, at least it doesn’t deceive you,

$BTC, $DOGE, and early $ZEC all belong to this category.

Taking profits is a thousand times more important than account numbers.

Only the money you can withdraw is real money.

Only pursue certain opportunities.

BTC and the top in each sector are enough, there's no need to stubbornly cling to outdated narratives.

Technology is not guilty, but it’s useless for retail investors in the crypto space.

The most expensive mistake this round is using your own chips to worry about the technical ideals of the project team.
