Brothers, hello everyone, I'm trader Zhu Yidian. Lately, I've been losing money in all sorts of ways, and pain can really trigger reflection. After summarizing, I realized all my recent trades stemmed from one mindset: 'I'm too eager to make quick money.'
I believed there would be a wave of altcoin activity around the Spring Festival. The most certain opportunities in the first half of 2026 are in the Ethereum staking sector and sports fan token sector. Originally, calmly lying low and positioning early would have been smooth and effortless. But after these high-risk moves, my principal was halved, and my plans completely fell apart—like rushing frantically, scrambling to keep up. It's all greed's fault. I wanted to use a larger capital base to position, then catch one big opportunity to achieve my goal of 4 million this year.
Losing money continuously really broke my mindset. There were similar moments in the past, but luckily I could quickly realize something was wrong and choose to slow down and rest. In trading, losing trades often mean personal failure, even directly leading to debt. Although many people emphasize using only money you can afford to lose, the unwillingness to accept defeat often pushes us to bet our last chip. Trading can truly ruin a person's life. Each of us must think carefully about how to avoid such situations.
After getting hit, I've become more cautious now. Holding 200,000 LDO, waiting for the Ethereum ETF staking to go through, hoping to gain 2 to 3 times the return. Other opportunities are all being postponed. After cashing in on LDO, I plan to withdraw half of the funds and keep the other half to continue trading.
During this holding period, I'll have more free time, which I plan to use to seriously learn new things—trading, English, and exercise. Hoping to achieve good results by 2026!
