Don't Be a Slave to Emotions: 5 Soul-Searching Questions to Reshape Your Underlying Understanding of Crypto

Want to remain rational in the crypto market? These 5 core questions will help you reassess your understanding of ETH, alts, DeFi, exchanges, and Decentralization. (Background: 2026 Crypto Market Outlook: Six structural forces are paving the way for the next cycle) (Context: Real Vision founder: After the U.S. government opens the doors, the market will welcome a series of liquidity Favourable Information) Behind these choices lies the test of your understanding of the essence of Crypto. If you don’t want to become a slave to the emotions of the crypto secondary market, you must think carefully about these questions: 1) Is ETH really worth holding long-term? With BTC completely becoming part of the U.S. stock market, ETH has almost become the leading asset for on-chain innovation in the crypto world. So under the upcoming trend of putting everything on-chain with RWA, if ETH is not worth holding, what assets are worth holding? Since you have faith, you must be clear that faith needs to be redeemed with time and Fluctuation; 2) Is the value of alts really zero? If it is zero, why are more and more alts emerging? It must be that demand determines supply. If it is not zero, why has making money from holding alts become an extremely difficult task? Instead of fighting against alts, it’s more practical to adjust your expectations for them; 3) Why has the familiar DeFi and NFT sustained bull run disappeared? A series of rounds of infrastructure prosperity actually have to wait for the explosive growth of the application market to take over. If it does not come for a long time, there will be a prolonged vacuum period. This is the crux of the bottleneck faced by technological innovation after MEME, and also the truth that liquidity maintenance is becoming increasingly short. Perhaps we have all misjudged this round of the market; before true “innovation” manifests, the bull run has never truly arrived; 4) What kind of industry contribution has BN made? Initially, we experienced the prosperity of DeFi and NFT in the Ether system, the MEME Season of Solana, as well as a highlight moment of Bitcoin inscription “pseudo-innovation,” and of course the rise of Hyperliquid. However, ever since the liquidity war of “letting the bull run happen on BSC,” everything has changed. In business terms, BN has proven itself as a company, but as an industry Leader, BN should learn one term: “positive externality”; 5) Can corporate organizational operation orientation replace Decentralization? The last cycle was characterized by decentralized structures, research institutions driving innovation, and community emergence, but as attention and efficiency have become new catalysts. Guided by a series of successful stories led by commercialization-oriented organizations, pure research-driven development has evidently been unable to adapt to the new environment. But don’t forget, Uniswap, ENS, and others were not planned by VC; they all emerged in that “inefficient yet full of possibilities” era. Decentralized innovation research and commercial-oriented scaling of resources and execution are never adversarial; their synergy is the future. That’s all. These questions have no standard answers, but you must have your own answers. What truly valuable coins to hold, what communities to mix with, what technological narratives to pursue, and how to navigate in the ups and downs of Fluctuation… Behind these choices lies the test of your understanding of the essence of Crypto. If you don’t want to be enslaved by emotions, you need to first clarify what you are really believing in and what you are waiting for.
