Happy New Year to all crypto friends.



As we step into 2026, have you ever wondered—how much weight do health and learning each hold in your New Year’s plans?

Yesterday, we experienced another round of market K-line fluctuations. Those numbers went up and down in your account—what did it all amount to in the end? Reflection is enough. The things that truly deserve "heavy investment" are precisely the three aspects traders tend to overlook the most.

**The First Asset: Your Body**

This may sound cliché, but in the world of trading, it’s especially real. Staying up late to monitor the markets, skyrocketing stress, irregular routines—how many people treat their health as a "stop-loss target" because of these? Actually, that’s the opposite. Your body is like the principal of your trading account—without it, all the compound interest later is just talk. Sleep, diet, exercise—these three things require no special skills, only discipline. Treat them as your core holdings; don’t wait until your body’s warning lights flash before regretting.

**The Second Asset: Your Knowledge**

The market generates new information, risks, and opportunities every day. A trader who doesn’t learn is like sailing against the wind—no matter how hard you try, it’s futile. But what should you learn? Don’t chase hot trends, as that only leads to one "harvesting" cycle after another. Systematic accumulation—reading classics, learning new fields, chatting with smart people—these investments may not produce immediate profits, but at some point, they turn into decision-making advantages. Cognitive compound interest isn’t visible in the short term, but over three or five years, it can make a big difference.

**The Third Asset: Your Relationships**

Markets have cycles, accounts fluctuate, but the companionship of family and support from friends are stable "cash flows." Many people can’t withstand a bear market because no one around them understands, and their psychological defenses collapse. Spend more time with those who love you—not a waste, but a way to install a "margin of safety" for yourself. The investments with the highest long-term returns are often not in trading pairs but in life.

The 2026 market will surely carry risks, and black swans could appear anywhere. But remember—true wealth is never just about account numbers. It’s about how wisely you allocate your time, how calmly you face uncertainty, and your ability to protect those around you.

Clear strategies, firm execution. Risks are controllable, and returns are satisfying. More importantly, be internally fulfilled and live with warmth.

Let’s encourage each other.

The words sound nice, but can the group of people staying up late to watch the market really listen? Haha --- Taking care of health is the capital, that's true, but the problem is that no one cares when making money --- Cognitive compound interest is real, but most people are still losing money after three or five years --- This part about relationships hits the hardest; one person can't really withstand a bear market --- It sounds like a motivational speech, but it really hits the mark --- So the key points are health, learning, and family; the account becomes secondary? I need to reorder these priorities --- It's the same old theory, sounds good to everyone, but how many actually stick with it --- The last sentence "Inner fulfillment, a warm life" is the greatest reward trading can give us

You make a good point, but I've heard it too many times... However, the health part is real. I'm currently losing my edge because I stay up late watching the market.

Health is the capital; this metaphor is spot on and much more reliable than those chicken soup clichés.

There's some truth to what you're saying, but I think the hardest part is still execution. It's easy to talk about it, but actually doing it is really tough.

The saying "Your body is your capital" resonates with me. Too many people stay up late and blow their accounts without even realizing it.
