During this period when the market is stuck in a stalemate, instead of idly watching the charts, it's better to focus on yourself. Take walks, run, do yoga—keep up with daily exercise. More importantly, recharge and learn—I've recently enrolled in several AI-related courses, and I also check out the latest cutting-edge content in the market.

Interestingly, many friends around me are planning major life events during this time, such as long-term investments like preparing for pregnancy. Think about it, when you're not making money, you can better arrange other aspects of your life. This logic really makes sense—both enriching yourself and reserving energy for the future.

Actually, this is the natural law of the market: harvest in autumn, store in winter, rest and recuperate, so you can endure until the next wave of market explosion. When the bull market truly knocks on the door, we'll have the strength and energy to go all out. The current quiet period is the most cost-effective time to refine ourselves.

Well said, I think the same way. Instead of obsessing over the charts every day and getting anxious, it's better to use this time to get myself clear. I signed up for a Python course, planning to fill in the gaps in on-chain data analysis, maybe it will come in handy someday. Honestly, doing something meaningful in your free time is much better than watching candlestick charts. Hang in through this quiet period; only when the next wave comes will we have the strength to jump on board. To be honest, choosing the right courses is really important now. AI courses are everywhere, so you need to pick ones with real value and not waste money. This market cycle truly tests your mentality, but it also gives a chance to breathe. Fitness, learning, planning—anything is more worthwhile than anxiously watching the market. I like the metaphor of "Autumn harvest and winter storage," it means you need to be patient. Frankly, some people around me are taking this opportunity to do big things, and it feels like a strategic move. Instead of rushing when the bull market arrives, it's better to lay a solid foundation now. Refining your own time cost really isn't that high; after all, the coin prices won't go up anytime soon, so investing in your mind is more valuable.

Can't hold it anymore, this is the so-called "Idle Fish Effect," right? Not overthinking actually helps to think things through clearly.

Honestly, sitting around watching the market is not as good as working out. Anyway, the market isn't paying attention to me. Just taking an AI course to catch the trend, but the conclusion? I’ll forget it all next month. Pregnancy planning... Bro, your logic is quite different from mine. Winter storage, winter storage. When the bull market really arrives, everyone will be lazy. Polishing myself? I still believe more in polishing my positions. But to be honest, this period is really suitable for taking some extra courses, so I won't be clueless when I get cut. Autumn harvest and winter storage sound nice, but actually, it’s just being forced to rest due to no market activity.

Hey, that's so true. That's exactly what I'm doing now. Instead of manipulating the market, it's more practical to focus on fitness and learning.

Damn, I accept this logic, but I still have to keep analyzing the candlestick charts... As for studying and stuff, I'll talk about it after I make enough money, haha.

It's one thing to say that, but I still can't help but scroll through the market all day long, I just can't stop... --- Indeed, rather than lying flat, it's better to learn something, but the promised yoga class has turned into a sporadic effort, three days of practice and two days off. --- Trying to conceive? Are you crazy, friend? If the bull market hasn't arrived, how dare I have a baby? --- I'm tired of hearing the "winter storage" theory; I'm just worried that we'll still be in a bear market come spring. --- Improving oneself is good, but the prerequisite is having enough capital to survive until that day. --- Learning AI courses is real; maybe one day the crypto world will be impacted by AI, so better to get ahead now. --- Talking about this theory every day, actually just trying to find a comfortable excuse for losses. --- Harvest in autumn, store in winter? I only see winter still falling, no storage at all. --- Alright, since I'm free anyway, might as well make myself busy and productive, at least it feels better mentally. --- Makes sense but useless; when the bear market comes, no matter how excellent you are, you can only watch helplessly. --- I love this logic; finally someone found a reasonable excuse for my market obsession.
