A very common phenomenon: during a bull market, anyone can make money. Buying anything randomly will see it go up, and then people start to get carried away, feeling overly confident, thinking they are the chosen ones. Once a bear market arrives, they stick to the old routines, and what happens? Their accounts are wiped out. There are countless examples like this in the crypto world.

The problem is, most people simply cannot escape this psychological trap. When they have money, they enjoy the admiration and envy of others, experiencing the thrill of wealth. Suddenly losing everything, the psychological gap can be so deep that some people may never recover in their lifetime.

But from another perspective, a bear market is actually the most valuable time window for traders. Instead of waiting passively, it’s better to take proactive actions: hone trading skills, study on-chain data, learn programming, build networks, become proficient with AI tools, and experience various products and protocols in the new ecosystem. These are the competitive advantages when the bull market arrives.

When the next bull market starts, you will thank your current self for sticking to learning.

To be honest, 99% of people in the market are currently losing money. Don’t give up, don’t be discouraged—true gaps are often widened at such moments.
