In 2026, I set a small goal for myself—trade less 😂. Over the years of navigating the crypto world, I’ve come to understand the truth: the more frequently you trade, the higher the fees, and the more chaotic your mindset becomes. Instead of watching the charts daily, chasing gains and selling at losses, it’s better to select a few promising projects, hold steady, and let time and market cycles do the work. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is much harder. Let’s encourage each other through this process.

You're absolutely right. The fees I've paid over the past few years could have bought several bitcoins.

the irony of "less trading" resolutions hitting different when you're already down 40% lmao... but ngl the sentiment shift from fomo-pilled to cycle-aware hits like a narrative arc worth studying. behavioral economics called, wants its dopamine loop back.

That's right, I was also bankrupted by transaction fees before, but now I've turned over a new leaf.

That's right, I am also among those who were financially drained by transaction fees. Actually, it's a psychological barrier; that's where the difficulty lies. The phrase "trade less" has been said so many times, but few can really do it. Right now, I am forcing myself not to look at the market, or I really can't stop. If I can't hold through this wave of market, then there's really no hope. My understanding is deepening more and more, and I feel like I don't understand anything. Sometimes I really want to smash my phone when I hold these coins. I've heard too many plans like this, but in the end, they all fall back into frequent trading. It's reasonable; let's see if you're still here this time next year.

Exactly right, I feel the same way. The transaction fees eat up more profit than the earnings themselves.

You're so right. I'm now regretting wasting fees every day by chasing highs and selling lows, essentially giving money to the exchange.
