Friends who are new to the crypto market share a common dream—achieving financial freedom by 2026. But going from zero to a billion is not about luck; it’s about strategy. The key is to recognize: crypto profits are indeed tempting, but the risks are equally huge. Without experience, going all-in on a single coin often results in devastating losses. A more practical approach is to first understand the fundamentals—logic behind mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum—and then gradually explore high-risk, high-reward tracks like DeFi and NFTs. The focus should be on diversified investing, setting stop-losses, and regularly learning about market trends. If you truly want to achieve substantial gains before 2026, start with small investments, participate and learn simultaneously, and only increase your investment once you’ve truly grasped the market rhythm. Mindset is more valuable than capital.

That's right, mindset is the most important. I've seen too many people go all-in on a shitcoin and wake up the next day back to square one.
Small-scale testing is really a step you can't skip, or else 2026 will turn into 2027.
Diversified investing isn't anything new, but why does it always fail in execution? It's still greed that causes the problem.

That's so true, really, mindset determines everything. When I first entered the circle, I was all-in on a small coin, and the result... you know. Now I understand, taking it slow is the way to go.
Trying out small amounts is a brilliant strategy; you learn as you go with the lowest cost.
Diversified investing has saved me several times; putting all your eggs in one basket is like gambling with your life.
Don't think too far ahead to 2026; focus on building a solid foundation first. Too many people are in a rush.
The mindset is indeed more valuable than money itself; this really hit home.

Haha, the all-in dream shatters on the spot, no doubt about it.
A good mindset is truly valuable. I just lost because I was too greedy.
The principle of diversification is always heard, but I just can't follow through.
2026? Let's see if I can make it to next year first.
Set a stop-loss, but I just can't bring myself to execute it.

Is that all? The all-in rule of thumb is ignored by everyone, and every time is a painful lesson.
Financial freedom in 2026? First ask yourself if you can survive in 2025.
I've said a thousand times that diversified investment is the way to go, but some still go all-in in one shot, losing so much they start to doubt life.
Having the right mindset is truly valuable, but unfortunately most people's mindset collapses after their first 50% loss.
Small-scale testing sounds easy, but sticking to it is really hard. As soon as you make a profit, you want to double it.
Stop-loss is the hardest part; human nature is just a greedy creature like that.
BTC and ETH are really the most stable choices at the start; don't think you can become rich overnight.
DeFi and NFT look attractive, but without experience, you're just throwing money away.
This logic is correct; it all depends on who can truly execute it.

Really, you're so right. Going all-in on one coin is just gambling. I've seen too many blood, sweat, and tears stories.
Diversified investing is indeed key, but most beginners just can't control themselves and have to go all-in.
Small-scale testing is really the smartest approach, but unfortunately 99% of people can't listen.
Mindset is more valuable than capital; this statement hit me. Too many people's mentality has collapsed.
Starting with BTC and ETH is the right way; don't jump into playing "future coins" right away.

Really, people who go all-in on one coin are basically engaging in suicidal behavior; they get wiped out in a bear market.
There's no denying it, mindset is indeed more important than capital, but most beginners simply don't listen.
Financial freedom in 2026? Let's survive this bear market first, haha.
Diversified investing hits the mark; an 80% allocation to mainstream coins and 20% to small-cap coins is actually quite good.
The mentality of wanting to double quickly is often the beginning of losses. This truth is something many have to pay tuition to understand.

That's right, mindset is indeed the key. But most people get wiped out before they even learn to master their mindset.
Those who go all-in on a single coin are gamblers, not investors.
Financial freedom by 2026? Let's first survive this downturn before talking about that.
The theory of diversified investing is good, but the key is how many people can truly follow through with it.
Small-scale testing sounds gentle, but most people, after trying a bit, can't help but add more. That's human nature.
