We pretty much gave up on the bull market, and that was because we didn't know that January of 2025 was the top or peak for altcoin and we never realized this.
This pattern has played out almost all the time, but for the first time historically it has happened differently, even BTC couldn't do a x3 from the previous all time high which was the standards.
I remember being so disappointed with the situation of the market. FTX had only just experienced a massive crash, which heralded the beginning of the bear market.
This time, the pain generally feels different, because we generally don't know or understand what's currently happening with the whole market pattern.
I've been in the aidrop space for over 2 years and working with a KOL for close to 8 months now, and just trying to understand opportunities that might be out there, and sometimes I sleep everyday with an itchy eye, tired from the stress and grind.
Crypto is still overly profitable and life-changing, I just think we might have experienced too much dilution and it might not longer be lifechanging for the short term.
I don't like to talk about the reasons why I hustle, they're personal to me, I was from a place of lack and want, abuse, chronic illness and mental health devastation and the only way to stop this foundational pattern is through believing in God and hustling.
So this is why I basically haven't given up on crypto in 9 years. I still think it has the element to change my life. I'm I still living below my dreams, yes, but I'm I still in that impoverishment and dehydration that I was 10 years ago? No.
So the grind will continue, until we can no longer do so. Everyday I'd wake up and continue to try, continue to seek more opportunities and continue to put in more efforts, until we make it.
Perhaps we don't get another pump till 2028, maybe earlier, whatever it is, as long as we're alive and grinding, I will still continue showing up nonetheless.
A lot of folks I met on Twitter having been hustling for a long time in crypto, and a lot of them got got their big break last year, built their houses, got their own cars, real life business all from crypto.
They did because they didn't stop hustling. Sentiment is currently very low in crypto at this moment because of the state of the market and no one wants to build or hustle.
For me I'm look to take breaks for a week or two very soon, get my body and system well rested and we can begin to go again.
The motivation is to give the family a better life as much as I can, and I hope this dream of financial betterment will come soon, I don't know where, so I'll just keep hustling. Now is not the time to give up, it's actually time to double down
