Thinking about Sisyphus lately – that Greek guy forever pushing a boulder uphill. Feels oddly fitting for anyone deep in the meme trenches right now.

Market dumps? Push. Project rugs? Push. Portfolio bleeds? Keep pushing.

The absurdity isn't the struggle itself. It's realizing the struggle IS the point. Every reset, every "this time it's different" moment, every degen play that doesn't quite moon – we just reload and do it again.

Maybe we're all Sisyphus. Difference is, we chose this rock.

Pushing stones—that analogy is perfect. We are voluntary Sisyphus haha --- Rather than saying pushing the stone, it’s more like playing Russian roulette --- Once you've chosen this stone, don’t regret it tm, keep pushing --- Now I finally understand why my friend advised me not to speculate on crypto... because he’s also pushing --- So ultimately, it’s the art of self-deception. I love it to death --- This article hit me right in the heart. Next time I lose money, I’ll use this to comfort myself --- Even Sisyphus has to pay gas fees, just thinking about it is despairing --- Brilliant, our stones still might hit our feet, but we persist in pushing --- Really, every time I go bankrupt, I say I’ll change this time, then get back on the train, and repeat the cycle --- Rather than saying it’s different, our stone might suddenly turn into a diamond—that’s the gambler’s delusional imagination

Hey, that's a perfect analogy... but it seems like our group of people are really just crazy about enjoying this process.

Sisyphus? Bro, you're telling my autobiography... The reverse indicator myself, every time I buy the dip, I manage to precisely land just above the lowest point. --- Pushing rocks until now, the summary is just four words — the more you fold, the deeper you get. But so what, I just can't bear to let go. --- This rock I chose, I admit I lost money. I just regret not choosing a few more back then. --- So, failure is not the end, it's a round-trip ticket. Keep pushing in the next round, anyway, what’s the big deal about going back to zero, right? The reverse winner. --- Bro, your article just hit my sore spot... I’m that fool who always says "Good opportunity" at the bottom. --- Laughing to death, really treating losing money as a career. Didn't learn to buy high and sell low, but I did get pretty good at the reverse indicator. --- The moment I chose this rock, I knew I’d be on the battlefield for the rest of my life. Dying in battle isn't scary, what's scary is still wanting to get up again. --- Every time the market slashes my position in half, I take it with a smile. What do you call this? This is called professional spirit.

Sisyphus is such a perfect metaphor, we're indeed pushing the boulder... but how to say, pushing it makes us feel that this is life; not pushing it feels empty. --- If you've chosen this stone, don't complain about being tired, or why did you come into the crypto world in the first place? --- Every liquidation feels like starting over, I'm numb... but I still have to go on, who told me to be so free? --- I just want to ask, when can this stone be pushed to the mountain top? Don't just talk about philosophy. --- This article is a bit too romantic; it's really just gambler's psychology. Hey, I'm still continuing to gamble. --- Absurdity is that we're still waiting for the next bull market, sober but obsessed.

We are all voluntary Sisyphus, hilarious. This analogy is perfect. --- Push it again, push it again; anyway, there’s nothing else to do. --- No mistake in what you said, but I might be worse off than Sisyphus; at least he doesn't have to look at candlestick charts. --- Once you've chosen this stone, don't regret it; anyway, it's already in. --- This is the defi life—constant resetting and the joy that comes with it. --- Like it in a second; this article really touched my heart. --- Haha, dead on; we are truly hopeless.
