On New Year's Eve early morning, a couple's conversation went viral on a short video platform.

That night, the husband was lying on the sofa, insomnia keeping him awake, when his wife, getting up to use the bathroom, accidentally saw him. The wife didn’t ask much; ten minutes later, she ordered pig’s trotters rice and a strong liquor and delivered it to their door. While they were eating and drinking, the husband finally spoke his true feelings—

"By 2025, I didn’t make any money in the crypto world; I actually lost quite a bit and even owed foreign debt. I’m sorry."

The following conversation probably struck a chord with many in the crypto community.

The husband confessed: he lost the most playing contracts, often driven by FOMO to chase hot coins, buying projects that die upon exposure. In plain terms, he was just a complete leek (newbie).

The wife’s response surprisingly healed him—"Experts all started as leeks. You’ve now improved your understanding, so consider this tuition fee paid; it’s worth it."

In the end, the husband made a decision: in 2026, he must change. He will definitely not touch contracts or trash coins, only focus on projects with real narratives.

The wife also agreed: "Yes, the MEME market in Chinese communities is really hot now; that’s the real opportunity."

This conversation actually reflects the true story of many retail investors over the past year—losses, self-blame, reflection, and then gradually understanding that real change begins with admitting mistakes and adjusting strategies. In 2026, it’s time to settle down.
