"Back to Work!"
Brothers, hello everyone. This is trader Zhu Yidan. With the Lantern Festival over, the Spring Festival holiday is truly over. Everyone needs to get back to studying and working. Actually, for me, the New Year holiday ended on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Many people say that the New Year lacks its festive atmosphere now. I used to think so too, until I read a short article by Master Tony who said that this is because we now enjoy the same conditions that were only available during the New Year in times of scarcity, so we no longer look forward to it. Therefore, looking at problems from multiple perspectives can reveal the hidden truths behind things.
A while ago, I saw a viewpoint on Douyin (TikTok): don't always think about waiting until you're in the right state of mind before taking action; instead, find your state of mind through action. This greatly cured my procrastination. In the past, I had many good ideas, but I rarely put them into action because I always thought I'd do them when I was in the right state of mind. How did I find my state of mind? By watching short videos, reading novels, and having meals and chats with friends. But after doing these things, I was even more tired and just wanted to rest, let alone do anything else. Time was wasted day after day.
Back to trading, my 250,000 yuan all-in position in Alpha tokens has already halved in value. A while ago, I lost as much as 75%. Fortunately, I didn't use any leverage this time. Basically, I'm numb to the drop; after being deeply trapped, I don't feel much difference between rises and falls. Even so, I'm grateful I survived. This drop was truly brutal. The subsequent volatility was both dangerous and boring—a very contradictory feeling. The market is lifeless, and the external environment is volatile.
My Binance Square live stream will resume normally soon, around 7-8 pm daily. There's not much to talk about regarding the market; it's mainly for companionship. Many veterans have stopped trading, either voluntarily or involuntarily. I'll try to make the stream more interesting while I'm streaming.
I've moved out to live alone, which is a good opportunity to calmly reflect on my career plan. Sometimes I feel like an invisible hand is pushing me in a predetermined direction. All I can do is try my best to improve myself and make things better!
Industry profits are shrinking, and the market is sluggish. My friends and I are all tightening our belts and preparing for a bear market, and I'm doing the same. Now I'm trying to stretch every penny!
As for the future market outlook, I think altcoins will still have a localized rally every six months, and I'm still optimistic about mainstream stocks—that's my damn optimism.
