*Why is October historic, and why do most people lose money?*

October is known as “Uptober,” and that’s no coincidence. Historically, it’s one of the best months for Bitcoin, but this 2026 is different.

*1. Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed $80B in inflows. Institutional demand is real.*
*2. The effect of the 2024 Halving is still being felt. Less supply, same demand.*
*3. It’s no longer just about price; it’s about adoption. Payments, remittances, and corporate reserves.*

But most people lose money because of these 3 mistakes I’ve made too:

*MISTAKE 1: Selling out of fear.* The price drops 10%, and you sell. The next day, it goes up 20%. Fear is your worst trader.

*MISTAKE 2: Not having a plan.* If you don’t write down when you’ll buy and when you’ll sell, the market decides for you.

*MISTAKE 3: Chasing memecoins.* You arrive late and become someone else’s exit liquidity.

My rule today is simple: 70% in BTC/ETH, 30% in projects I actually use. And patience.

Bitcoin isn’t about getting rich quickly. It’s about not getting slowly poorer.

The market rewards the patient, not the anxious.

Do you think we’ll see a new ATH before the end of the year? Let me know.
