Bear Market tilling, bull run harvesting — this sounds easy, but doing it is another matter. Those who can still persist in thinking and continuously output during the time when the market falls into silence and information noise gradually fades away are few and far between. Most people choose to lie flat or hurriedly exit.

But this is precisely the time that tests our resolve the most. A quiet market is not necessarily a bad thing; on the contrary, it gives us a rare opportunity—to sort out our investment logic, identify our position in this ecosystem, and prepare thoroughly for the arrival of the next cycle.

Different people are on different tracks; some focus on DeFi liquidity mining, some delve into NFTs and on-chain ecosystems, and some study technology and protocol updates. The key is to find a field that aligns with one's cognitive boundaries and can be sustained in the long run. This is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires repeated validation and refinement during this relatively quiet period.

The next cycle is not so far away, but preparation is never too early.
