Crypto trading's funny like that. When the market takes a dive, you're flipping burgers at McDonald's just to pay for your bags. But catch a bull run? That's when you're actually enjoying your meals there instead of working behind the counter. The market's got a brutal sense of humor—feast or famine, no middle ground.

Alright, this is the true portrayal of the crypto world: bear market workers, only during the bull market can we make a living.

Ha, it's the same old story. I thought the same way back when I went all-in, but as a result, I was broke for three years in 2018. Don't even mention McDonald's, I couldn't even afford instant noodles.

Haha really, either earn 100,000 yuan a month or eat dirt, there's no chance to struggle in the middle.

The crypto world is like this: either eat dirt or eat meat, there's no middle ground.

Laughing out loud, this is my true reflection. The bear market really can drive people crazy.

lmao the bipolar energy is real... one day i'm calculating optimal gas windows on my spreadsheet at 3am, next day i'm asking if mcdonald's pays in crypto. tbh the real killer isn't the market swings, it's those bridge fees eating half my gains before the bull even starts
