Torment, suffering, pain.

This is how it’s felt recently playing SOLANA.
Since 10/11, it’s been obvious there’s a problem with on-chain liquidity.
On top of that, SOLANA can’t get listed on BN, and with the ceiling not breaking, it’s gotten even harder.
This past month, I’ve been patching things up with $WOJAK $KABUTO.
Every heavily weighted, FOMOed position I bought at a high, after cutting half at the bottom, it still took at least half a month of agony just to break even.
This process is really disgusting, nauseating—like eating shit.
Playing two days on BSC over the weekend actually equaled 15+ days of effort on SOL. Ridiculous.

Is the market distorted?
Yes and no.
We desperately need a new 100M to open things up.
The space needs new retail “fairy tale” stories, needs fresh blood to enter.
Otherwise, Monday A eats B, Tuesday B eats A.
Everyone still active on the front lines is about the same level.
Gradually, people get tired, feel it’s pointless, boring, and leave.

Of course, my own trading mentality has problems too. Cutting losses even on split-buy positions is really fucking stupid.
There are issues with my trading strategy and I don’t even try to fix them.
Can’t tell the difference between stop-loss and cutting losses; when I should be day trading or even hourly, I’m acting like a diamond hands moron.

In crypto, pain is concrete, frequent, and intense.
The pain of stopping out: as soon as you stop out, it pumps, always feels like you’re being targeted.
The pain of missing out: watching a coin go up dozens of times from start to finish, but you never got in.
The pain of being bagged: believing in a coin until 1B, only to have it halve again and again.
The pain of FOMO: finally can’t resist entering, only to become a bagholder at the top.

Pain doesn’t need to be solved, just overcome.
When will the victim mentality change?
Sigh.
