Bear markets reveal the real ones. Those who suffer the worst are never the ones lying still; instead, they are the ones who hustle the hardest.



Think about it—during a bull market, you can make money on anything. You buy a small coin at random, it rises, and you start feeling good—thinking you're a blockchain expert. In reality, you’re just riding the wave. Back then, even pigs could fly, and everything you did was right.

But now, it’s different. The wind has stopped, and the market has entered a downward trend. The more you watch the charts, stay up late researching, and place frequent trades, the more you end up cutting losses. It’s absurd.

The most painful cycle is this: lose money and want to recover it, so you start adding leverage. Unwilling to accept losses, your positions grow heavier. When you want to turn things around, your strategies start to distort. Every mouse click is essentially giving money to the big players. Your diligence, in front of the meat grinder of the market, only makes you die faster.

Here’s a harsh reality: your emotional attachment is only to yourself. In this market environment, those who actively try to seize opportunities often suffer the heaviest losses. Sometimes, being a “waste” is actually safer—doing nothing means you can’t lose anything. Sometimes, lying flat is truly the smartest choice.

Really, lying flat is the way to go. I don't watch anything now. --- It's the same old story; the more you hustle, the more you lose. I just can't learn. --- Listen, those words hit right in my heart. --- That was the era when pigs could fly; now not even chicken feathers can fly. --- My friend is the type who watches the market every day, and now he's crying the hardest. --- Damn, just seeing the words "adding leverage" makes me want to vomit. --- Being as steady as a mountain is the secret to making money, but who can do it? --- That's why I chose to lie flat. --- Every time I click the mouse, I feel like I'm committing suicide. So true.

Damn, that really hits home. I am now that fool staying up all night watching the market. --- Lying flat indeed earns the most; I only just now understand. --- I thought I had gained insight during the bull market, now I just laugh. --- Every time I want to break even, I leverage up, and it gets worse and worse. I just can't stop. --- Really, doing nothing is actually the best solution. I need to learn to do nothing. --- Diligence here just means sending money, brother, it's so heartbreaking. --- What happened to those who frequently trade now? They probably died pretty badly. --- I just want to know how to control myself from watching the market. --- Feels like working for big players, clicking the mouse over and over again is just sending money. --- Wasteful traders are the best, seriously, none of them are alive.

It's so heartbreaking, I'm just that fool staying up all night watching the market. --- The stay-at-home crowd has won big, but I'm still messing around. --- I've truly realized this round, never move anything again. --- The bull market is hyped up, the bear market kills people, it's that simple. --- Why can't I control my hands? I know frequent operations are just giving away money. --- The moment I leveraged, I knew it was over. Greed kills people. --- So now the hardest thing is actually doing nothing? Feeling a bit hopeless. --- Diligence is worthless in the face of the market; this is the most expensive lesson I've learned. --- Stopping the messing around is even harder than making money.

Exactly right, this has been my recent situation—watching the market every day and losing more and more.
