As we quickly approach 2026, it's time to revisit the investment logic in the crypto market.

Looking at recent market fluctuations, many are still debating whether to increase their holdings of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other mainstream coins. But from a different perspective, what truly determines long-term returns may not just be portfolio allocation.

First is physical health. This may sound like old advice, but sustained market volatility requires sufficient energy to endure. Health is the foundation of compound growth; without it, all investment plans are just illusions.

Second is knowledge reserves. The crypto market has always been cyclical, with bull and bear phases testing your understanding of the industry. Continuous learning about market logic, technological iterations, and policy changes is essential to cut through the confusion of cycles.

Finally, is psychological resilience. Whether the market crashes or surges, maintaining rationality and clarity depends on your emotional management skills. Cash flow management, in essence, is self-discipline against human weaknesses.

$BTC $ETH $SOL How to allocate these assets varies for each individual. But these three "internal assets"—health, cognition, and mindset—are all qualities that every investor needs to upgrade simultaneously. In the first month of the new year, perhaps it's worth reflecting: besides your asset allocation table for cryptocurrencies, are there other dimensions in your "life capital" allocation?

BTC0.8%

ETH0.61%

SOL1.02%

Really speaking, if your body and mindset are not in good shape, no matter how many coins you have, it's useless. Last year, I stayed up all night watching the market and ended up causing myself problems, which was not worth it. --- When it comes to mindset, it's true that I've seen too many people surge during rapid rises and crash during drops. Coin allocation is actually secondary. --- As for knowledge reserves, I now spend time studying every week, or else I get harvested in minutes. --- Laugh out loud, a bunch of people only think about adding positions, and haven't even looked at their health reports. --- This logic basically means that investing in yourself has the highest return, more reliable than any coin. --- After so many years in crypto, I finally realize that the most valuable assets are those two kidneys. --- Psychological resilience, to put it simply, is about not being controlled by emotions, and not scaring yourself.

Exactly, I'm currently being tortured by the market and suffering from severe sleep deprivation... Really, mental state management is 100 times more important than the ability to buy the dip. Health and mindset are too easily overlooked; everyone is just thinking about increasing their positions. I think Bitcoin allocation and such are secondary; first, get yourself in order. This perspective is fresh, not just talking about technical analysis or on-chain data again. There's a bit of Eastern philosophy in it.

Wake up, trading cryptocurrencies starts with trading yourself... That's true, but how many people can really do it? Being healthy, clear-headed, and having a stable mindset—if all three are in place, you'd be financially free long ago haha

Nothing is more important than these three things. --- Staying up late to watch the market ruins your health, no matter how much BTC you have. --- I trust myself the most in knowledge reserves; continuous learning is truly necessary. --- Managing your mindset is the hardest part; mistakes are most likely to happen during rapid surges. --- Feeling like I'm reflecting on my life allocation chart, I definitely need to make adjustments. --- I have memorized the coin allocation chart very well, but I haven't thought about the life allocation chart yet. --- Got it. In 2026, I will reorganize everything based on this logic.

That makes sense. Health and mindset are really underestimated. Last year, I stayed glued to the screen until I couldn't sleep, only to realize I was stuck at the bottom. It's better to adjust your routine first rather than obsessing over allocations.

Honestly, compared to stressing over how many coins to buy, I'm more anxious about the lack of sleep now... Staring at the market every day is really taking a toll on my mental state.
