Bull markets are mentally draining, and anyone telling you otherwise is full of shit
even when you’re positioned from the lows and it’s time to do nothing at all, you spend lots of time in your own head just thinking of different scenarios, rebalancing, thinking/searching for new plays — that’s assuming best-of-best situation
that’s not even mentioning the fact that bullmarkets tend to be fast-paced with high-volatility
you’ll find yourself looking around at the other rats in the race and feel perpetual dissatisfaction through comparison. it requires conscious mental effort to block that out
you’ll see all the opportunities and spend countless hours calculating which ones are worth playing, and with how much size
you’ll have to navigate the fallacy of ‘up-only’. people told you bullmarkets only ever went up, but that’s not true: there are tedious ranges and prolonged periods of chop, in addition to the leverage flushes, random FUD news events, and infrequent, but casual, 20-30% pullbacks
so yeah, bull markets are mentally draining. and it’s not that they’re easy, it’s that they’re more friendly to traders with a tried-and-true system that are successful in navigating ANY market environment
for those traders, the reward just picks up substantially during bullmarkets, so the stakes are greater. every move requires that much more thought behind it. one impulsive decision or lack of emotional control can easily cascade into a sequence of bad decisions — exacerbated by the fact that you’re spending so much time in your head. mental fatigue is real.
I know people want to seem all stoic by saying “you can sleep when you’re dead hurrdurr”, but that shit is not real, and you’re not shadowy and mysterious for being sleep-deprived.
if there were ever a time to make sure your mental state is impenetrable, now would be the time. whatever that means to you.
good thing we had 8 months of mundane price action to touch grass and prepare.
I hope you’re ready.
let’s get it.

Some people really out here spreading rumors about me getting faded when I'm sitting at 5M MC... meanwhile they still can't find their hairline with Google Maps and a search party 💀
The easiest and quickest way to take yourself out of the bull market is by loading up on low-cap scams, especially when there are plenty of mid- and high-cap tokens popping off that are much more likely to give you solid gains in the coming months.
If you exercise a bit of patience with these projects and avoid the mindset that you need to get rich instantly, you’ll be in a much better position. Patience is key—don’t fall into the trap of chasing quick wins that lead to long-term losses.
If you want to play around with low-cap shitters, take a small portion of your portfolio and devote it to that—don’t go all in on these kinds of projects.
