Year-end thoughts:

In this market, it all comes down to one thing—discipline. Whether you're tracking Bitcoin's moves, analyzing altcoin trends, or DCA-ing through volatility, the winners aren't the smartest traders. They're the ones who stick to their plan.

December taught us that again. While sentiment swings daily, those who stayed consistent through the noise came out ahead.

2026 is setting up to be big. Ready?

Based on historical on-chain data, accounts that adhere to the DCA strategy during this cycle experienced a drawdown rate approximately 23% lower than emotion-driven traders during volatile periods—it's worth noting that the December decline was essentially a purge of emotional trading. From the recovery speed of TVL and trading volume, the fundamentals have not been damaged.

That's right, discipline is truly the most scarce. I didn't stick to my plan, and as a result, the October gains were given back in November...

Discipline is a common refrain during every bull and bear cycle. The key question is, where does your DCA money come from? For projects where on-chain address concentration exceeds 60%, I advise you to stay away.

Sounds good to say, sticking to the plan? I think most people just don't have a plan, or they change their plan a hundred times haha

That's right, I've been on the DCA path for two years now, although my account is still in the negative haha... but my mindset has definitely become more stable.

Discipline is easier to talk about than to practice. I'm the kind of person who easily gets carried away by emotions.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but how many people can truly stick to it? I'm the kind of person who changes plans every three days. Even in 2026, I guess I'll have to pay tuition again.

In theory, discipline should indeed work, but the contract I last DCA'd into is still locked now. Academic value MAX, practical value MIN.
