Sunday mornings have become one of my favorite times to think.
This morning I went for a walk under gray skies, and it reminded me a lot of this market. It's easy to get caught up in the daily candles, the headlines, and all the noise, but when I zoom out, I keep coming back to the same conclusion.
I think we're much closer to the end of this bear market than the beginning of it.
That doesn't mean we can't go lower.
It doesn't mean I'm calling the exact bottom.
It simply means I don't want to miss the opportunity because I was waiting for certainty.
One thought kept running through my head during my walk...
When everyone is saying, "Crypto is dead," "The market is over," or "I'm done buying," I start paying closer attention.
Not because that's a guaranteed buy signal.
But because by the time everyone feels comfortable again, the market has usually already moved.
I've watched it happen before.
People spend months waiting for the perfect entry. They tell themselves they'll buy when things "look better." Then the market starts moving, fear turns into excitement, excitement turns into FOMO, and suddenly they're buying the same assets they ignored just weeks earlier—only at much higher prices.
I don't know exactly when the next bull market begins.
Nobody does.
What I do know is how I want to approach it.
I want to be 30 minutes early to the train station.
Bags packed.
Ticket in hand.
Ready before everyone else starts running down the platform.
That's why I'm spending this part of the cycle building positions, experimenting with DeFi, learning about tokenized stocks, documenting my portfolio, and creating educational content. If I'm a little early, I can live with that.
Because I'd rather be patiently waiting for the train than chasing it after it's already left the station.
That's really what this bear market has been teaching me.
Patience.
Preparation.
Process over prediction.
The next bull market will eventually arrive.
My goal isn't to predict the exact day it starts.
My goal is to be ready when it does.
