2025 was truly a fulfilling year for my crypto trading career. From Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs at the beginning of the year, to various Altcoins taking turns to perform mid-year, and then Meme coins dancing collectively at year's end, each phase brought me different insights.

The three most profound lessons: First, risk management cannot be compromised. I always set strict stop-losses and diversify my positions on promising projects, which saved me many times. Mindset is very important; the thrill of chasing gains and panic selling can't compare to the fulfillment of simply staying alive and continuing to play. Second, true wealth still comes from long-term holdings of quality assets like BTC and ETH. Short-term volatility can be frightening, but as long as you stick to it, the trend is on your side. Lastly, don't forget to make full use of the native tools provided by exchanges—products like Launchpool and HODLer airdrops. Although the returns may not be explosive, the joy of steady appreciation is something only those who experience it will understand.

My biggest takeaway this year isn't how much I earned, but truly learning to wait. I missed out on some ten-bagger coins, but also successfully avoided many traps that would have wiped me out. Here's to 2026—hope we can all find our rhythm in the next bull cycle.
