Stared blankly at BTC's candlestick chart for a while again.

Suddenly had a thought—if one day I really stop trading, what else could I actually do?

This question seems even harder to answer than reading the market.

Oh no, really, not trading anymore and I don't know what to do instead.

nah the real question is what's the point of understanding charts if you can't monetize the paranoia, honestly feels like that existential dread hits different when the candles aren't moving

Not trading? Bro, that's a pretty deep question. I think about it a lot myself.

You've taken heavy losses so many times and still haven't quit the scene, but now you're suddenly asking yourself this question... Bro, you must really be exhausted.

Staring at the charts for too long makes my mind start asking philosophical questions—this is truly an illness.

Ha, I had this thought back in 2018, and after enduring three years of a bear market, the answer I was forced to come up with is—there's really nothing I can do. Trading is like a drug; you just can't quit.

Ha, this question really hits home for me. How would I live if I stopped trading? It feels like life would lose all meaning.

Bought the dip and ended up with bricks, now I'm starting to question life, haha.

Ha, that's an excellent question... I've thought about it sometimes too, but every time I'm pulled back by the next candlestick.
