Don't lay flat in a bear market! 9 things to help you reshape your mind and body and welcome the next bull market.

Scrolling through CT (Crypto Twitter) right now, you cannot ignore the information flow filled with an extremely gloomy atmosphere.

The market has entered a crypto bear market, and almost everyone involved seems to be trapped in confusion and lost.

Here are 9 good things worth doing during this bear market:

1. Seriously think about the life you truly want

Is the environment you are in intentional?

Or is it the result of a long chain of passive reactions?

What do you really want to do in life?

If you had only 8 years left to live, would you continue doing what you're doing now?

Often, things develop too quickly, and we easily forget to ask ourselves these questions.

But now is the right time to think seriously about these questions.

2. Complete some side quests

Especially if you're young, go out and take some risks...

Don't be fooled by that brainwashing content of being a "permanently bottom-class," sitting in front of the computer all day.

You only have one life, and it is extremely short.

You never know when you might suddenly leave.

Go and create your own legend.

3. Connect with others on Twitter/X

I see many people feeling anxious about the state of CT, algorithms, etc....

But even in the worst cases, you can still use this platform as an excellent way to connect with like-minded individuals or people you admire.

Just send a DM or interact on the TL.

As I said before, I genuinely believe that crypto Twitter attracts the smartest, most interesting, and most talented group of people on Earth...

Some of them are quieter now, posting less, but they are still here.

The best part of Twitter/X is that you can reach out to any of them at any time.

The true value of this platform has always been—friendship. So even if CT isn't as dopamine-rich as it once was, don't forget to leverage its real practical value.

4. Go to the gym and build muscle

There is plenty of time in a bear market to lift weights.

Even if you're worried about not having time for the gym, it's okay.

You can get really strong at home with a pull-up bar and adjustable dumbbells.

Here are my favorite exercises:

• Pull-ups (various grips)
• Dumbbell overhead press
• Lateral raises (you can make great progress with very light weights)
• Isometric neck contractions
• Hanging leg raises (the best exercise for six-pack abs)

5. Go sunbathing and get a tan

"The sun is bad for you" might be the most severe brainwashing propaganda in modern society.

Sun exposure is extremely important for health.

Many of your body's most sensitive processes (insulin secretion, melatonin secretion, etc.) are regulated through sunlight hitting your eyes.

Staying indoors all day (especially with glaring overhead lights at night) can severely disrupt your physiological functions.

Embrace your gifts—get strong, get tanned, and be proud of how you look now.

6. Explore new fields of the online economy

If you're tired of Twitter/X, dive into TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or other areas of the online economy.

I've been doing just that in recent days, uploading some short videos and starting to understand that world and its ecology.

If appropriate, I will update on my progress (currently just editing some interviews to familiarize myself, nothing particularly exciting), but there is a vast world outside of CT. Who knows, maybe the center of the next crypto bull market is in other corners of the internet—it sounds crazy, but it’s entirely possible.

7. Continue to explore potential airdrops and build positions in altcoins you like

I know no one wants to do this right now.

The mood has been completely shredded, and the general consensus is that crypto is dead and will never come back.

However...

We have seen this happen repeatedly over the past few years, and each time it eventually rebounds.

The silly airdrop you’re addicted to today might just be tomorrow's Hyperliquid airdrop.

The seemingly foolish altcoin your buddy is accumulating now might just be next year’s Zcash (ZEC).

8. Writing

No matter how bleak the Twitter timeline looks, or how few people are reading.

Writing is something that is always worth doing.

It is the only way to connect us with our ancestors and thousands of years of history.

It is what sets us apart from machines—we can produce unprecedentedly unique ideas and transform the pain of life into art.

It is also the only way to connect us with the future.

So write—whether it’s tweets, articles, long videos, or any other form.

If necessary, write for the child you have yet to conceive.

Write for yourself.

Go write, let your ancestors and descendants know that during this absurd little phase in human history, at least you are doing something.

Finally—write for your brothers and mutual followers. If you love crypto, love CT, and wish for it to thrive, then keep using it, even when it seems bleak.

9. Become the person you want to see

The baby boomer generation is passing away.

We can create any future we want.

Be the change you want to see in this world.

If you want the next decade to be the glorious era of the "strong, tanned crypto brothers," the overdue peak of the long-suffering millennials and Gen Z—then make it happen with your actions every day.
