Keep this in mind: only by 2026 can you be on the right track.

Social media is flooded with voices about intergenerational wealth, shortcuts, and "getting rich overnight" in just a few months. They all sound tempting, but most of these are just stories—beautiful stories, nothing more.

The reality is different.

In recent years, the crypto market has attracted a large number of newcomers, who are captivated by "get rich quick" stories. But you need to understand that those extreme cases are just survivor bias. True wealth accumulation isn't so glamorous: it comes from continuous learning, disciplined execution, risk management, and compound interest over time.

You can see stories of a coin rising from 1 cent to 1 dollar, but you don't see the 90% of people who invested money and ended up losing it. More often, ordinary traders are slowly accumulating wealth through "boring" methods like DeFi, staking, and long-term holding.

Quick wealth in crypto is more like gambler's psychology than an investment strategy. The real game rules are: build cognitive advantage, develop stable strategies, and endure cycles. It may not be sexy, but it's the reality.

To be honest, those who got rich overnight are all survivor bias; the unseen 90% have already gone to zero.

To be honest, those overnight wealth stories are just for listening, don’t take them seriously. Wait, I have to say something honest too, the DeFi staking system is indeed boring, but it’s really stable in the long run. Survivor bias hit me hard; who cares about the 90% of people who lose money? It’s not that I don’t want to get rich quickly, it’s just a matter of probability. Enduring the cycle is the real deal; whether it’s sexy or not, you have to do it. Keep a calm mindset, and focus on self-improvement before 2026. Honestly, it’s just time exchanging for money, no other secret.

You're absolutely right, the 90% of people who lose money will never speak out. --- The money made from boring strategies is more stable than that from gambler's psychology—that's the truth. --- Making it to 2026 alive is already good, let alone hoping to take the right path. --- Survivor bias really hits home; none of the boastful people around me have not lost money. --- Holding positions until going crazy, there's no other way. --- This DeFi staking setup sounds boring but has indeed lasted the longest. --- Cognitive advantage? I don't even have cognition, I just go all in. --- Cycles take years to endure, testing mental resilience to the limit. --- Stories are all nice, but reality is full of blood.
