The crash of 2.3 has dealt a heavy blow to small investors; no one expected the new year of 2025 to start this way. It has severely undermined the confidence of the bulls. The sharp withdrawal of profits and various uncertainties in the information landscape have put people's minds to a severe test. To be honest, I have been repeatedly thinking over the past two days whether to liquidate everything and exit, saving some strength for the bear market of 2026. Although in 2024, I withdrew quite a bit at high points (the household's internal consumption and expenses are almost dealt with), there is still a considerable portion of altcoin holdings whose recent profits have all returned to the average price of 2022 or even lower. At this moment, liquidating feels unsatisfactory, so I might as well comfort myself and hold on; if the bull market cycle really ends unusually early, I will accept it.
I still prefer the bear market before each halving. In a bear market, you can hold quality assets at very low prices, and profits are easier to maximize during the transition between bulls and bears. The latter half of this bull market happens to coincide with the transition and stabilization of new and old powers in the United States, as well as the high control of capital led by Musk, greatly increasing the risks of short to medium-term trading. For now, I can only continue to endure.
Since April 2024, I have traveled through a large part of China, making six or seven trips back and forth to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, and I am tired of it. Almost every time there is a crash, I am on the journey, unable to enjoy sightseeing, and I have not truly relaxed.
I have not touched a computer for 13 months, and I am preparing to buy a new one to get back to coding when I have time, shifting my focus during this sluggish market. After the divorce, although I am free, my heart has become fragile. Many years ago, my greatest wish was to achieve financial freedom and then get divorced. Although this bull market has allowed me to achieve that, I leave with a scarred heart, filled with melancholy wherever I go, and not happiness.
Having persisted for so long in one go, I am really a bit tired. If I were to fall asleep and never wake up, it would rather be a kind of relief.
