By using on-chain data analysis tools to observe individual annual investment accounts, an interesting phenomenon has been found: most traders, besides continuously purchasing BTC and holding Bitcoin, engage in very few other operations. This perhaps reflects a return to market rationality — during the volatility experienced in 2025, the main profit flows for many investors were concentrated in one direction: increasing Bitcoin positions.
When market turbulence subsides, data often reveals the truth. Simplifying trading strategies and focusing on core assets are choices rooted in a commitment to long-term value.

Honestly, this data reflects reality. The retail investors in the crypto circle have been messing around for a while, but in the end, they still obediently return to BTC.
The older brothers have seen through it long ago; fancy trading strategies are just excuses for losing money.
Data can be deceptive, but wallets won't be. Simplicity and brutality are the most profitable.
This wave is indeed more rational, unlike the restless attitude of the past two years. Now, it's about holding Bitcoin and waiting for the chosen ones.

Ha, this is the real wake-up call for the retail investors
---
Once again, it's "rationality" for the year, in plain words, it's just being afraid of losing money
---
All data points to Bitcoin, what does that mean? Either everyone really wants to understand, or they have no money left to gamble
---
Simplified strategies sound really good, but in reality, it's just going all in and going all the way to the dark
---
Clearing out the miscellaneous troops, going all in on BTC, this logic isn't wrong... right?
---
Interesting, liquidity is concentrating in one direction, is this a consensus or a trap?
---
The "perseverance" in 2025, let's wait and see until 2026

Well... to put it simply, everyone is all in on BTC, and other cryptocurrencies are basically out of the game.

Honestly, how anxious must those who are still frequently trading be?
