You won't make it through 2026 if you keep these habits going. Chasing every hype wave instead of building real knowledge? That's the first trap. Waiting around for your idol to validate something before you move? Second mistake. Then there's doing zero research, just sitting around passively—that kills most people's chances. And don't even get me started on hunting every giveaway while ignoring the people who'd actually help you grow. These patterns repeat across the space, and they almost always end the same way.
