What Did 2025 Teach Us? Key Lessons Shaping Investment Strategy Into 2026

Looking back at this year's market moves, there's plenty to unpack. From volatility spikes to surprising rallies, 2025 delivered some hard-earned wisdom for anyone with skin in the game.

The crypto market showed us once again that timing isn't everything—positioning is. Those who managed their risk properly weathered the storms better than most. Meanwhile, macro trends that seemed inevitable early in the year played out differently than expected, reminding us why diversification matters.

One thing stands out: information asymmetry still runs deep. The projects that communicated transparently with communities outperformed those playing it safe or going radio silent. Investors rewarded clarity and consistency.

As we head into 2026, the real question isn't what the market will do—it's whether we learned from what happened. Will we apply these lessons, or repeat the same mistakes? The assets that benefited from structural improvements in blockchain infrastructure are likely the ones to watch moving forward.

Take a moment to review your 2025 moves. What worked? What didn't? That reflection might be more valuable than any prediction for the year ahead.

The truth is simple: it really depends on who holds the chips and who can endure the volatility. Actually, what's there to reflect on? Just brag when you make money, pretend to be dead when you lose, haha. The saying "布局>时机" hits hard. Last year, I went all in on several projects and ended up realizing they were all just air. Information asymmetry? Basically, it's still about insider information and the lack of transparency; retail investors are always at a disadvantage. Next year, I guess the harvest season for retail investors will continue. Only those who dare to go all in are true warriors. Anyway, remember this blood and tears lesson. At least it's better than being scammed again next year.

That's right. The biggest lesson this year is not to always think about bottom fishing... It still depends on how the project team operates. Those who chat with the community every day tend to live the most comfortably.

Honestly, understanding that strategy > timing should have been realized long ago, but some people still chase gains and sell off every day... The biggest fear in 2026 is still repeating the mistakes of 2023.

Timing is less important than layout, this really hits home. Last year, I was just chasing highs and selling lows, thinking back now, it's just ridiculous.

Layout > Timing, this sentence hits hard... I was trapped in 2025 because I chased the high, and now I regret it deeply.
