The 2026 crypto market is full of uncertainties. To go further, both mindset and physical resilience must be strong. Many traders tend to lose their way amid market fluctuations, blindly pursuing high leverage and heavy positions, often ending up with total losses. In fact, the principles of trading and athletic training are similar—pursuing maximum weight is less effective than mastering the correct form. The same logic applies to crypto trading: skills and discipline are far more important than risk-taking spirit. True long-term gains come from solid fundamental analysis and stable risk management, not from taking reckless bets time and again. Learning to stay calm amid market turbulence and refusing to follow trends blindly without logic is the right way to steadily advance in this opportunity-filled market.

Exactly right, weren't there already fewer people who died last year due to high leverage? It's all greed and trouble caused by greed.

This analogy is quite interesting, but to be honest—most people don't have the patience to practice the basics. Let's look at the data; the liquidation ratio over the years shows it clearly. Everyone theoretically understands the importance of mindset, but actually executing it is the real challenge.

You're absolutely right, but how many people can actually do that in reality? All my buddies around me ended up getting liquidated on leverage.

That's right. Every time I see people around me go all-in, I can't help but worry for them. The ones who truly make money are never those with a gambler's mentality; it's the quiet ones who quietly get rich. High leverage? It's better to diversify your principal across several projects for stability. Calmness > luck. This phrase is overused, but it's really true. Sticking to fundamental analysis can really help you survive the bull market; those who follow the trend have already been forced out. Discipline is the primary productivity. It's easy to say but hard to do. High risk, high reward is often heard, but being low-key and steady is the real king. I've seen too many margin calls last year—one moment you're up, the next you're back to square one. It's all caused by high leverage. When your mindset collapses, everything is over. Staying rational is the hardest part. Those who pursue steady growth are the true traders.

You're absolutely right, but I'm worried about knowing what to do versus actually doing it. I'm struggling right now with whether I should reduce my position, and it's really eating at me.

Exactly right, it's these people who go all-in every day and can't keep their composure.
