Over the years of trading, I have become increasingly convinced of one thing—the market sentiment is the strongest driving force. The forces of FOMO and FUD can exaggerate volatility, making it easy to be led by the rhythm in the short term. But I found that as long as I坚持持有一些真正有基本面支撑的资产，同时充分利用平台上的各类激励机制（积分计划、HODLer空投这类），最后的收益往往能超过预期。

Honestly, my experience with a certain leading exchange over the past few years has been quite good—security, trading depth, and a bunch of practical tools (grid trading, Launchpool, etc.), which indeed make my operations smoother.

Looking into 2026, my focus will be more on the AI concept and RWA tracks, as I feel there are still many opportunities. How did your trading performance in 2025 turn out? Interested in sharing your ideas and experiences~

That's right, market sentiment can really drive people crazy, but the key is to choose the right benchmarks and not follow the herd. Honestly, I'm also paying attention to the RWA track, but with AI concepts so competitive right now, is there still a chance? Last year, I made some pocket money through grid trading. This year, I want to try Launchpool. Has anyone here experienced any pitfalls? FOMO is really a trader's killer. I'm trying to stay calm as much as possible now. Fundamentals are the way to go. I agree with that, but unfortunately most people are still chasing the hype. Airdrop enthusiasts, what can points be exchanged for? Has anyone calculated if it's worth it? I'm targeting both AI and RWA, just waiting to see who takes off first. Over the past few years, I've felt that platform differences aren't that big; it all depends on whether you know how to use the tools. It's normal for short-term trading to be influenced by emotions. Long-term holding is really the answer. The 2025 performance is average, mainly because I haven't figured out the rhythm yet. Let's see if I can turn things around in 2026.

Fundamentals are the key; the emotional approach can't last too long. Those who stick to airdrops and free tokens are making a killing. How do you view this wave of AI and RWA? FOMO has killed many people; patience is still necessary. The 2025 performance is average, mainly waiting for the next wave of Launchpool. Honestly, grid trading has saved me several times.

That's right, emotional trading can really mess people up. I've fallen for FOMO quite a few times, but now I've learned my lesson. Agreed, fundamentals are the key. Airdrops and points are free money if you can get them. Grid trading is really awesome, a must-have for lazy traders. Both AI and RWA are promising, but it feels like the RWA narrative hasn't fully taken off yet. Overall, 2025 looks okay. I didn't make a fortune, but I didn't lose too much. Mainly, my mindset has improved a lot.

Waiting for AI and RWA to take off, but on the other hand, market sentiment is indeed easy to be manipulated. FOMO is really a poison; it must be supported by fundamentals. The overall outlook for 2025 is still okay, but I have been scared out of FUD many times. Grid trading is really comfortable to use, saving a lot of worry. RWA feels like just the beginning; I want to see how everyone is planning their layout. Holding on truly can make money, but you need to have a stable mindset... By the way, what have you exchanged your points for? I'm a bit regretful that the incentive mechanism wasn't fully utilized; next time I need to study it carefully. In 2026, I’m aiming for AI and RWA, other sectors are not that appealing. HODLer airdrops and activities like that are really not to be missed; the joy of free stuff is still awesome. I agree with the logic that market sentiment ties to returns; it all depends on who can hold on.

Market sentiment, I understand it very well, it's just a psychological game. If played well, you make money. That's right, fundamentals are the key, everything else is just clouds. I'm also paying attention to RWA, it really seems promising. Is it that exaggerated? I feel that sometimes the incentive mechanisms are just a facade. Grid trading is indeed effective, saving me a lot of manual operation time. In reality, it still depends on self-discipline; no matter how many tools you have, it's useless without discipline. There are too many AI competition players; I'm actually looking for some niche assets. 2025 didn't achieve much, it's all disappointment. Why does it feel like every year people say there are more opportunities next year, haha.

Basically, you need to withstand the FOMO rush; otherwise, you'll be cut early. Stick with the fundamentals, and use airdrops and freebies to supplement your gains—returns are indeed different. The performance in 2025 is okay, but it all depends on whether AI and RWA can take off in 2026.

That's right, but market sentiment can easily cloud people's judgment. I also got burned a few times before realizing that the real profit doesn't come from chasing the hot trends. HODL those coins with real value, combined with platform airdrop plans, can indeed earn you a passive income. AI and RWA are definitely the upcoming hot topics, but don't fall into another FOMO trap again. The 2025 performance is still decent, but I feel a bit slack in the second half of the year. Grid trading is truly a blessing for lazy traders, just set it and forget it. I'm also optimistic about RWA; it feels like on-chain assets are about to explode. Have you seen the signals indicating big players are entering? It seems there's still room to play with AI. Bro, this article sounds like a promotional piece for a certain exchange, but honestly, it is quite useful. I might not be utilizing the incentive mechanisms enough; I need to really maximize the benefits. On the other hand, I think it's easier to talk about fundamentals than to actually do it. How does everyone judge that? Is HODLer airdrops really so lucrative? Why haven't I made much money from them?

You are absolutely right. I have deep experience with the emotional market, and I’ve been burned by FOMO a few times before I understood. Fundamentals are the key, and operating based on incentive mechanisms is indeed very effective. This year, I need to really explore the RWA (Real World Assets) sector; it feels like it’s about to take off. I’m really good at using grid trading tools; automating the arbitrage is truly excellent. By 2025, I’ll barely be able to keep up with the pace, mainly because I’m still learning how to avoid pitfalls, haha. Have you guys ever fallen into any big traps? Share your experiences.

Really, FOMO is deadly. I've also fallen into traps. Hold coins with strong fundamentals and sleep peacefully. That's the right way. RWA definitely has flavor; you need to stay close.
