Market downturn, and the automated strategies for perpetual contracts have come to an end. Planning to stay quiet for a while, then think about predicting the market again. But right now, I’m a bit stuck—uncertain about what to do next.

After years of navigating the crypto world, I feel like I’ve been transformed by something. Those once exciting things have become dull. I used to love traveling and often played games to pass the time, but now these hobbies have faded significantly.

Maybe this is the price of long-term immersion in the market. Trading, data, market fluctuations—my mind is filled with these things, as if there’s no space left for other parts of life.

According to the database, how long has your recent "silence" been since the last time you announced a pause? Feel free to add data. Travel enthusiast extinction timeline, recommended to be included in the Guinness World Records. The thing about your mind being filled with K-lines... will eventually achieve life balance, just wait for the flowers to bloom.

They've been completely eaten up by the market, I get that feeling. --- Really, the crypto world is just a place that drains people dry; everything else becomes虚的. --- It's good to stop now; don't let your mind be fully occupied by K-line charts. --- Getting stuck is a sign; it means it's time to rest. --- That's the price to pay—earning from the market while losing your life. --- Instead of fussing over it, why not truly take a break and try it out? --- Games, travel—those have already been killed by market行情; I totally understand this sense of emptiness. --- Perpetual爆仓 is less significant compared to the loss of interest in life. --- It's good to be quiet; since it's a bear market anyway, just take it as a vacation for yourself. --- Me too, I even find watching dramas less刺激 than watching minute charts, and that's the end of it.

Well... that's the magic of the crypto world. Anyway, I was completely drained this way. When the market isn't doing well, it's easiest to start reflecting, but then I calm down and keep an eye on the charts. Sometimes I also think back to the days when I played games. Now, after half an hour of opening a game, I start wondering how the market is doing. It's really hard to step back, but speaking of which, forcing yourself to do something else might not be a bad idea? Wait, you said to stay silent for a while... is it really possible to step back, or are you planning to start a new strategy? Being completely absorbed by K-line charts feels incredible. I don't even feel like traveling anymore—truly a sign of being seriously hooked.

I understand this mindset; the crypto world can really drain people. When the market is not good, it's better to clear your mind and not let trading hijack your life. You can pick up gaming again; maybe the next inspiration is inside. When your mind is overwhelmed, you actually can't make money; only when you rest well is it a real bottoming opportunity. Don't be too pessimistic; this is just a cycle, not permanent.

When the market is bad, it's time to go out and take a walk. Don't keep your head fully immersed in the candlestick charts. Really, this kind of state is quite dangerous; you need to hit the pause button for yourself. What the crypto world can turn people into, I've seen it... It's a good sign to get stuck; it means you need to wake up and get clear-headed. Instead of obsessing over predicting the market, it's better to think about how to live your life.
