Trading in 2026

[jcojci]

That mindset will coming when the bull run almost happens. At least, when the price starts rising and many coins increasing faster, that will shows at social medias. People should learn this and not triggers to just buy without research because that can makes a wrong decision.

In the bear market, people leaves and not comes especially those who profits big. They will comes when the halving almost coming and prepare their funds to buy the coin.

If people can learn about trading, they can manage the risk and ready for that. They know the risk but they can handle that without a problem.

There are still people that are delusional but In my opinion I think it has a lot to do with experience, most people that step into the market with the thought of getting rich overnight don't really understand what trading is all about. People who become more aware of the fact that trading isn't a get rich quick scheme are the ones has been able to gain more experience. Trading in 2026 has become more realistic and a lot of people are now being careful about how they go about their trading activities to avoid running into huge losses in the long run.

If people did not have the ambition and mindset to get rich quickly, they would never turn to trading. If  trade does not offer the opportunity to make a large profit in a short period of time, nobody will care about it.

Trading is nothing new. It existed before the cryptocurrency industry emerged. To this day, its fundamental nature has not changed, and the vast majority of traders still lose money. There has never been a time when the majority of traders consistently made profit.

Not really. But I do believe that the modern traders are more open about trading, more strict about risk management and more mindful and claim that they focus more on the trading process over profits.

However, with the increasing number of traders losing in the market, I don't think the idea of getting-rich-quick with trading has died rapidly, its even more evident these days due to the fact that almost all of the population have now turned into social media influencers, and a huge number have focused on trading and continue to attract the audience on what crypto trading can do to their lives and make big difference.

I definitely have to agree with you, the narrative around trading most especially traders that those coming into crypto trading are coming to actually make quick money is misleading because this is not about crypto trading and anything like that, trading has long been in existence before the coming of cryptocurrency and its crypto trading and sincerely has the notion or belief about making quick and large profits off trading not started since then?

Majority of traders even before crypto trading were actually already looking at making quick and large money off trading and that was the reason for leverage trading right from start or was it crypto that brought about leverages in trading? It’s not. So right from the non crypto trading days they were people already looking into trading to make quick money and their reason to go for leverage. This desire has not changed yet or looks like it will at the moment and that’s the reason why traders majority of this traders are losers.

The idea of getting rich quick is always here in trading and a lot of new traders keeps bringing that mindset to trading and which is why on the long run many just leave trading and assume they can’t make it out successfully and that totally wrong. The success rely on the trader and the traders mindset not the fast money mindset we bring along, and I don’t even think this mindset is something that can be put to stop.

A lot of people has shifts towards trading for the sake of influencers results and success but they are not ready to understand how the journey works and easily they get stuck by losses and end up leaving.

In this era of trading, I think the trading world is accommodating genuine traders who understand the concept of trading and those who are ready to take their time to gain knowledge from it.

No, I don't agree with you, even in this time there are so many traders who only lose money in trading, they can't control their emotions and that's why they end up losing money in trading.

I read stories of many traders who've lost $10k $100k, or even more in a single night, those were actually profitable traders but some mistakes and revenge trading was the reason why they lost money in trading.

Even, in this time many traders lose money and they'll keep losing money in trading no matter if knowledge about trading is everywhere, but still those people will always keep losing money in trading.

I think in the past when cryptocurrency was still growing, trading cryptocurrency was still strange. So in my view, more people felt they could be rich by investing in altcoins and it was a disappointment because many were scam and exit projects. Losing money then was more on shitcoin investment and not trading. Trading cryptocurrency is not as old as hodling shit coins. Then, mere calculating of the cheap zeros and the imagination of overnight price movement made you feel something like adrenaline rush. I could still hear the vibes of lambo (meaning Lamborghini) in different telegram groups on shit projects because they feel the next move on the shit coins they invested on would be the next big thing but it hardly happened  

Some people were lucky, but there truly came a time that 70% of the ICOs were scam. ICO was what that were trending at the time, that is the kind of things that scammers will go into to scam people and many people were scammed. Trading has also started at the time but there was no derivatives in crypto until 2020. Some people make use of the spot market to trade.

Those who were lucky enough to invest in ICOs were mostly scams. Most of the people who traded in ICOs lost their money, although a few projects made some people profit, but most of them were scams. Before 2020, most people used to trade spot and there were many who used to trade futures. However, I think that this type of trading is often a scam, but if you can trade in good coins, there is hope. However, the spot market is not very risky for trading, that's why people use it more.

They can become rich in trading in a short term if they really understand the market and he favours them, but trading is not something that is easy to predict but you can always succeed when you’re into trading for long term and knows what you’re actual doing.

You’re right if you put your mind that you’re going to get huge profits by just starting trading, that will be very difficult to happen because you need to have some experience about it first before you can get how to predict in your on way and probably achieve profits. If you see trading is not going well the way you think of it is better you should hold for some time and continue learning about how you can understand why you failed always.

People get only more educated about trading but they are still trading trying to get rich quick with instant profits. I guess this kind of mindset will not die forever, people will always trade for profits no matter how they claim they are now trading wiser than before. Especially with the unstoppable social media, instead of traders creating their own market analysis and develop their own trading potentials, they come to rely their success with those self-acclaimed successful traders.

This is a very wrong move. Traders should not expect too much from social media traders, they are only flexing their wins and profits, but they are never transparent how much they have lost already before they come to reap their profits, not even sure if they really are since everything in social media can be fake.

People still believe that there is hope for them when it comes to trading and there is no way that you won't enjoy trading when you understand it and is not that you will make constant profit from it but the more you trade the more experience you get so there is a very high chances of doing better than what you have been doing before and there is no way that getting rich quick will help anyone when it comes to trading it's a game of patience and endurance not just making drastic decisions but it is very important for us to understand that there is no way that money will fall from the skies if not worked for and that is why you must take your time to learn trading and the. Do things gradually.
