#BTC对标贵金属的竞争格局 Do you want to survive in the crypto market in 2026? You need to hear these 10 heart-wrenching statements.
**1. Infrastructure needs to be integrated, applications are the key.** Stop fantasizing about making money from a public chain that no one uses. The wave of dividends from 2021 has already been consumed, and now most public chains have long become ghost towns. Wake up.
**2. Recognize VC traps.** See a certain coin with a market value of several billion but a circulation of less than 10%? This is definitely a carefully designed harvesting scheme by institutions. Don't touch it.
**3. Choose transparent assets, even if they are memes.** Instead of buying those black box projects, it’s better to hold things like Bitcoin and Dogecoin—at least the logic is clear, and you won’t be caught in dark operations.
**4. The era of Holding is over.** Don't be foolish waiting for a general rise; this is a market dominated by institutions, and retail investors can only follow trends and chase hotspots.
**5. This is how to play asset allocation.** Use 60% of the funds to build a bottom position: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana; use the remaining 30% to chase narrative leaders and Meme hotspots. This way, you can have both a safety cushion and growth potential.
**6. Securing profits.** The shiny numbers in the account mean nothing; only real cash in hand counts.
**7. Capital flow determines opportunities.** Don't fantasize about ambushes and early entries; follow the incremental capital, and opportunities will be there.
**8. Self-custody is a must in a bear market.** Keeping coins on exchanges is playing with fire; transferring them to your own cold wallet is the only way to feel truly secure.
**9. Focus on Certainty.** Bitcoin and the leading projects in various sectors are what deserve to be bet on. Don't bother with those narratives that have died.
**10. Technology is useless in the crypto market.** The most expensive tuition for retail investors this round is: using their own chips to worry about what decentralization and what philosophy the project party has. It's completely in vain.

To be honest, I've already tried this 63 configuration before. When it comes to chasing trends now, it really depends on luck.

It's heart-wrenching to hear, the sixth point hit me the hardest. No matter how impressive the account numbers are, it's only paper wealth; you have to cash out for it to be real profit.
---
I don't quite agree with the fourth point; the era of holding isn't completely over, the key is still to choose the right targets.
---
VC tactics are indeed deep; I've learned to be smart when I see a circulating supply of less than 10%, avoiding it every time.
---
Meme coins do have opportunities, but I'm just afraid of accidentally stepping on a drop to zero trap; one must consider the narrative as well as the funding volume.
---
The self-custody part is right; the lessons learned from exchanges collapsing are still fresh in my memory.
---
Chasing trends until my hands hurt, realizing that following the flow of funds is the real way; that's how it's done now.
---
The idea of having 60% base position is good, it gives me enough security to go for the remaining 30%.
---
No matter how tempting a black box project is, I've seen through it; it's just a trap set by institutions, why step on a landmine?
---
It feels like writing a lesson for retail investors wanting to survive in 2026; it's a bit heart-wrenching and quite realistic.

To be honest, the sixth point is the most heartbreaking; no matter how beautiful the account number is, it doesn't matter.

You spoke too piercingly, the tenth point really hit me hard. I used to spend so much energy researching what consensus mechanisms and what distributions, only to find out it was all in vain. It’s more straightforward to focus on the funding aspect.

It's a harsh truth, but the fifth point is a bit idealistic; there aren't many who can really stick to a 60-40 split.

It hits hard, the sixth point resonates with me the most. No matter how beautiful the account numbers are, it's useless; actually withdrawing is the real deal.
Why are so many people still waiting for a general rise? The institutions are already playing people for suckers.
I agree with the 60% position ratio, but are you still bold enough to bet on Solana? I'm a bit scared.
The benefits from that wave in 2021 have been consumed; those still buying the dip on public chains really need to wake up.
The eighth point is right; self-custody is the only way to sleep well. I've already suffered losses with exchanges.
Following the money is one thing, but the problem is how do retail investors know where the money is flowing? Aren't they still being played for suckers?
Is this wave of Meme coins a way out? It's definitely more transparent compared to those black box projects.

Article 6 has poked me, no matter how many numbers there are, it's still best to cash out for peace of mind.

First: You’re not wrong, those still playing with ghost town public chains really should wake up.
Second: I stopped paying attention to VC projects a long time ago; you can tell how big the issue is just by looking at the circulating supply.
Third: Instead of studying those nonsense white papers, it’s better to just hold BTC and DOGE honestly.
Fourth: Waiting for a general rise? Dude, by that time, you'll have already been played for suckers.
Fifth: A 60/40 distribution is indeed appealing; this is the way to last long.
Sixth: The numbers on the books are just a joke; cash is the real deal.
Seventh: Chasing hot trends is always faster than lying in ambush; following the funds is definitely the right way.
Eighth: Exchanges releasing coins is really gambling; cold wallets provide a more secure sleep.
Ninth: Let it be the leading ones; at least the probability of making money is higher.
Tenth: Stop talking about technical concepts; it’s all about whether there’s incremental capital coming in.
