I just thought about something I would call the 'Time-Pain Trap.' It's about Bitcoin and these bear markets that just refuse to end. Many people wonder when the real bottom will come, but honestly? The market probably needs several more months of this 'boredom' to get there.

What I mean: A true bottom doesn't form through drama or crash scenarios. It forms through time. Through months where nothing special happens, volatility decreases, and emotional traders simply give up. That's the moment when long-term investors with a hodl mentality actually see opportunities.

The psychological component is crucial here. When the market moves sideways and no one talks about it anymore, when headlines dry up and attention shifts elsewhere—that's when real capitulation happens. Not during the next 10% crash, but when hope simply wears out.

I've observed this long enough to know: The people who stay hodl and patient while everyone else becomes impatient are the ones who ultimately win. It doesn't require rocket moves. It requires time and endurance.

So if you're wondering whether we're already at the bottom—probably not. But if you're willing to endure the upcoming months of boredom and hold your positions, then you're positioning yourself for what comes next. That’s the real game in a bear market.
