2026 could be rough for many in crypto. That exhausted feeling will hit hard—zero momentum, confidence evaporating, the grind becoming unbearable. Even your DMs go silent.

When that happens, plenty of people will question everything. Maybe crypto betting isn't the move right now. Maybe it's time to step back, stack some fiat, let things breathe.

For some, that strategy actually makes sense. But here's the thing—cycles are cyclical. What feels dead today might explode tomorrow. The real question isn't whether to quit, it's whether you can survive the wait without losing your mind.

If you can't endure the leek season next year, you should accept your fate. --- It's the same old story, wait, wait, wait, and in the end, you still have to keep playing. --- So troublesome, human nature is like this, when in despair, the most desire is to cut losses. --- Those who can survive until the next cycle are all crazy. --- Wake up, everyone, big funds have already run away, and you're still "toughing" it out there. --- That moment of DM silence really hit home, so true. --- Just want to know how many people can truly not go crazy and keep waiting.

The bear market has arrived, DM will really fall silent, but isn't this the bottom signal? When everyone is numb, that's actually the time to go all in.

ngl 2022 flashbacks hitting different rn... been there, watched positions get liquidated in real time. the mental fatigue is real but that's exactly when ppl make worst decisions. health factor dropping while ur dms go silent? yeah that's the signal to check ur collateral ratios not panic sell everything lmao

Getting through 2026 is the key, in simple terms, it's about mindset building. The period of DM silence is really tough, but isn't that exactly when big players quietly strategize?
