1/ Don't mention 'bottom fishing paradise', that's the graveyard of survivors 🪦
Everyone thinks they are the hunter, crouching in the bushes waiting for the 'absolute bottom'. The reality is: most people have already fired all their bullets halfway up the mountain, and now their pockets are cleaner than their faces.
Spare money? Don't joke. That little money was long gone, cleaned out by various 'hundred times dreams' at the peak of the bull market. Now, don't even talk about increasing positions; even choosing 'pay more for a larger cup' for takeout requires three minutes of microeconomic model analysis in your mind.
2/ 'Waiting for lower' is a false proposition; greed is the true core 📉
I've seen too many people shouting 'I'll go all in if it drops to XX' at the beginning of the bear market. When it actually drops, they end up terrified, thinking it could drop another 50%.
To demystify: the absolute bottom is meant for analysts to boast during reviews, not for you to use for buying.
Do you think this is the floor? There might still be a basement below; do you think you found something in the basement? Don't forget that there are still eighteen levels of hell beneath. No one can come back from 2030 in a time machine and pat your shoulder saying, 'Bro, this wave is the last supper, get on board.'
3/ All oracles are actually just shadows of your understanding 🧠
In this circle, relying on others' words to make money is essentially no different from seeking a fortune at a temple.
Where does understanding come from? It's not from listening to people brag in those broken groups of a few thousand, nor from looking at some influencer's 'electrocardiogram'.
Honestly look at macro liquidity, analyze chip distribution on the chain, and study that damned human psychology.
Where does judgment come from? Turn off the market, and ask yourself a painful question: If this coin drops 80% tomorrow and suspends trading for three years, will I jump off a building, or will I calmly drink my hand-brewed coffee?
4/ Will there be a big bull market in 2026? This is just a matter of probability, not a prophecy 🌪️
I'm personally optimistic about 2026. Why? No insider information, simply because the Federal Reserve's printing press will inevitably roar again, as greedy humans always manage to come up with new stories.
But don't ask me for specific price points; I haven't even decided what to eat tomorrow at noon, how could I possibly know when Bitcoin will peak?
I'm just a 'lazy HODLer'; I don't want to predict the wind direction, I just want my sail to be set when the wind blows.
5/ The current operating guide: live like a hibernating bear 🐻
Gather your chips, remember it's **'true idle money'**. If you still have to check K lines to ease your arrhythmia after buying, then what you've bought is not an asset, but a heart attack inducer.
No money to increase your position? Then just stand at attention, move bricks if needed, study if needed.
The most impressive investment is to become a more valuable person during the downturn, rather than turning into a resentful gambler.
6/ Life is a thousand times grander than K lines 🥘
The market is in such a bad state, it's a great opportunity to return to the real world.
My daily routine now has a return rate as stable as a mountain:
• Reading: (The Naval Bible) has been thoroughly read, reminding myself: make money with my mind, not with anxiety.
• Watching: Yesterday I revisited (Dune Part 2), looking at the vast yellow sand, and felt that the fluctuations in my account are not even worth a grain of sand.
• Cooking: Over the weekend, I made a pot of braised beef brisket; the beer should be chilled, and the meat should be tender and flavorful. The certainty of eating meat heartily is 100 times more relieving than watching that fluctuating green column.
7/ Summary: Stay flat in your positions, let your soul stand up 🕊️
Keep a calm mindset, elevate your understanding, and live well.
The best layout is that you don't need to rely on the 'bull market' to save you from your current mess.
Still optimistic in the long term.
(Mainly because I believe in my own strength, being solid enough to live until the day wealth knocks on my door.)
