The downtrend keeps dragging on. Market sentiment is grim across the board. No recovery signals in sight. Everything's heading south.

Investors are bleeding hope. Interest is fading fast.

But here's the thing—this exact scenario played out in 2021. And you know what happened next? The market didn't stay down forever. These bear market stretches always feel like they'll never end, but history shows otherwise. The ones who stuck around during the blur typically came out ahead.

The bear market is back, but is it really different this time... That's right, in 2021, those who held on until the end were the ones who benefited. It's the same old spiel, I don't believe a word of it. Will history repeat itself? All I know is my wallet is already crying. Talking about it on paper is easy; whether I can really endure depends on fate. Wait, isn't this just the standard line for a bear market? Hold on? Right now, I just want to hold on to my life. I've heard the story of 2021 a hundred times, why does it still work?

I saw how outrageous the code vulnerabilities were during the 2021 cycle. If we still use that old logic in this wave, it will be too dangerous. The most vulnerable to rug pulls in a bear market are those with poor contract permission controls. Don't blindly HODL. Is history repeating itself? It depends on whether the project team has undergone proper audits first.

It's the same old rhetoric, the classic cycle of history... But honestly, the rhythm of surfing is right here. When the waves pick up, you'll know who's swimming naked. --- The term bleeding hope is quite fitting, it’s like LP yields dropping into negative territory, slowly being drained. --- I was completely on the sidelines during the 2021 wave. Back then, capital efficiency wasn’t really a big deal. Now, arbitrage opportunities are even more hidden and elusive. --- Sticking to it sounds easy, but few can really endure the blur phase. Once liquidity depth dissipates, everyone runs. --- Alright, alright, here we go again, talking about history repeating itself. But why are each of these repeats so different? This time, the Martini indicator isn’t so friendly.

Others are afraid, but I am bottom-fishing. I mentioned in 2021 that this was the best opportunity to get on board. It's happening again now. Don't miss this chance, brother.

I also made it through that wave in 2021, really, the key is not to be scared away.

The bear market is just like this, it crushes people's mentality. But to be honest, 2021 was just as tough, and those who bought the dip ended up laughing last.
