We talked earlier about how the crypto market has shifted from an era of grassroots speculation to an institution-led, regulated market. After reading that, many people ask: “I understand the logic, but why can’t I stop chasing hot trends and trading constantly, even when I know the risks—and why do I keep losing money?” Let’s continue the conversation. No lofty theories this time—just the psychological traps hidden behind market movements that ordinary people are most likely to fall into, and the real-world limits that people often overlook.
Have you noticed something interesting? When you scroll through X, you’re always seeing people posting screenshots of their gains, casually saying they doubled their money on a trade or made tens of thousands from an airdrop. It can seem as if everyone in the market is making money, as though all you have to do is follow the signals from the big players to achieve the same results. But the reality is that on social media, only the winners are willing to share their results. Most people who lose money quietly delete their records and don’t post about it. This is a classic example of survivorship bias.

Based on the latest official data available to date (October 2026)—the Q2 2026 10-Q and 13F filings, as of June 30, 2026—here is a summary of Berkshire Hathaway’s latest financial results and portfolio highlights:
💰 1. Cash and Treasury holdings (over $365.5 billion)
* Total: approximately $365.514 billion.
* Trend: Down from the record high at the end of Q1 (approximately $397.4 billion), primarily due to increased stock purchases this quarter (net purchases of about $20 billion), share repurchases (about $4.5 billion), and spending on M&A activity.
