How do I get rich with crypto in 2026? Slowly. The best traders in crypto bought Bitcoin when it was $100 and still own it today. The best way to get wealthy is to buy, hold, and wait.

When you're tempted to short-term trade, imagine a hedge fund manager with a team of smart analysts who makes $25 million a year with infinite access to technology and knows everyone in the space. Ask yourself if you're better positioned to outtrade that person.

The answer is always no. All of the alpha in this market is people underestimating the long-term impact of technology. That's been the story of the last 30 years. If you believe crypto will be a bigger deal in 2035 than it is in 2025, just buy, hold, and wait.
