#大户持仓变化 Sometimes I have to admit that in certain cryptocurrencies and specific market cycle judgments, I do have a pretty good handle on the overall direction. So naturally, people become curious—since my analysis is so accurate, I should have quite a few followers, right? Am I making a big profit from referral commissions?
(Laughing crying) Just look at the chart below to see the answer. This is my referral income over the past thirty days.
Looking back now, as one of the early content creators on the platform, I definitely missed some opportunities. There are two rather painful issues I’ve never truly faced:
**Issue 1: Platform mindset problem**
The platform is an internal ecosystem of the exchange. My initial idea was to acquire new users through external channels. The result was—my effort on the platform was severely lacking. Ironically, it’s actually easier to do things within the platform. I was a bit too "honest."
Most of the time, I just wrote long articles when asked, researched traditional financial markets, and casually posted content in my daily updates. It wasn’t until recently that I started doing live streams, and consciously used the live sessions to educate fans while casually mentioning the referral commissions.
**Issue 2: Laziness in execution**
As one of the first wave of bloggers, my follower count was still in the single-digit thousands. Frankly, I never truly faced my **laziness**. For a whole period, I didn’t maintain consistent updates on the platform. Posting no more than three times a week? That’s normal. What’s even more painful is that those three posts were usually only made around the time of major economic data releases.
Recently, seeing people around me earning quite a bit through referral commissions, I finally realized a simple logic:
Helping traders reduce costs while providing value-added services, and earning commissions from it—this is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Why not do it well?
With 2026 approaching, my plan is: first, organize and perfect the course materials in the remaining ten days, then seriously focus on the referral commissions. No longer being a "good old boy," I need to seize every opportunity.
Actually, I want to tell those who have the means: if you’re in this circle, I suggest giving it a try. An extra income stream can significantly improve your quality of life. Moreover, this itself benefits the community.
2026, a new drive. $BTC
Honestly, reading this was a bit of a punch to the gut... I feel like I'm repeating the same mistakes, knowing I should hustle but still slacking off.
This guy's self-reflection is very sincere, but I think the core issue is—he's too self-absorbed as a creator, and has forgotten that this is also a business.
Laziness is indeed the original sin, no comment.
---
Really, it's so heartbreaking... Clearly you can earn but are too lazy to try, I feel anxious for you.
---
Wait, you said "You gotta seize the moment when it's time"... Are we really going to take action this time? Or just wait for the next cycle?
---
Honestly, this boils down to execution, right? Accurate analysis is useless if it doesn't translate into profits.
---
I just want to know, how long can the 2026 plan last this time... Not mocking, just curious.
---
Laziness is real, but what's even scarier is giving up when there's an opportunity... Wake up, brother.
---
You're right, things that are mutually beneficial should be taken seriously, but unfortunately most people, including me, are too "honest."
---
Sharing this to those still hesitating—this is the opportunity cost.
In a few words, it's a real punch to the gut. It was about time to treat rebates as the main business.
This reflection might be a bit too sincere, feeling like a subtle hint that I should also get my act together.
I feel a bit sympathetic, but I also have to admit—laziness is an enemy that no one can escape from.
Analyzing correctly doesn't mean you can make money; this is the biggest irony in the crypto world.
Planning to get serious by 2026? Then let's see some action, and don't turn back into the "honest person" again.
It's really just two words—execution. How many people have fallen because of this?
