#数字资产动态追踪 2026 The Beginning of the Year: The Underlying Logic of Account Growth
As the new year begins, I wish everyone smooth investments and continuous learning.
There's an interesting phenomenon in the crypto world—no one truly fails. Failures are often due to ideas that didn't seize opportunities or learn lessons. Wrong direction? Then review and analyze thoroughly. Lack of understanding? Quickly catch up on the knowledge. Those who only complain will eventually be left behind by the market.
The recent Ethereum upgrade is a classic example. Imagine, Ethereum used to be like a high-end phone running an old network—sufficiently decentralized but with transaction confirmation speeds so slow they were frustrating. After two upgrades in Prague and Osaka, speed and efficiency were maximized, and the increase in throughput made other public chains relying on speed look insignificant.
The more critical change is in the staking mechanism. Ethereum has evolved from a simple asset for holding to an asset capable of generating stable income—its annualized returns based on ETH directly attracted a large number of institutional investors. This is not just a technical upgrade; it's a reshaping of the business model.
Veterans in trading know a simple truth: buying, holding, and selling are just three stages of operation. The real fourth stage is self-discipline.
The theories about four-year cycles are now outdated. The market rhythm is accelerating, and what eliminates your competitors isn't other traders but the pace of the times you can't keep up with. Whether in crypto or other fields, the cycle of underestimation → explosion → peak → decline always repeats. But continuous learning and self-restraint are the true cards for navigating bull and bear markets.
Which track do you think is most promising in 2026? Do you understand the logic behind Ethereum's upgrade? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Self-discipline is really emphasized, but I think most people are still thinking about getting rich overnight.
---
The annualized yield from ETH staking, institutions are indeed hoarding, but what about retail investors? Are they still chasing the high?
---
The four-year cycle is outdated... but I think the rhythm has actually sped up, making it even harder to grasp.
---
Underestimating the peak and recession, cycle-breaking, what if the cycle is broken?
---
I believe in Ethereum's speed, but those small public chains are not idle either. Saying they are insignificant might be a bit premature.
---
The key is to learn how to review and analyze; it's not that the market is leaving you behind, but that your own ideas are holding you back.
---
I get the logic of staking yields being stable, but what about the risks? It can't all be good news, right?
---
Which track do you favor in 2026? Honestly, I'm a bit confused. Everyone talks about L2, but it also feels somewhat saturated.

At the end of the day, it's all about self-discipline. Many people fail because of this.
ETH staking is really attractive; institutions are starting to buy the dip.
Persist in learning and stop-lossing; it's truly a lifeline in the roller coaster.
However, the statement that the four-year cycle is outdated is a bit strong. I think it still has some reference value.
The pace of the times has indeed accelerated. If you can't keep up, you'll really be left behind.
So, what tracks are you all staking on now? Share, please.

The part about self-discipline was spot on; so many people fail right here.

Self-discipline? It's easy to say, but how many can truly achieve it?
