If you're scrolling CT (Crypto Twitter) right now, you can't miss the extreme gloom saturating the feed.
The market has entered a crypto bear market, and almost everyone involved seems to be stuck in a fog, not knowing what to do.
Here are 9 great things to do during this bear market:
1. Seriously think about the life you truly want
Is the environment you're in now intentional?
Or is it the result of a long series of passive reactions?
What do you *really* want to do with your life?
If you only had 8 years left to live, would you keep doing what you're doing now?
Things often move so fast we easily forget to ask ourselves these questions.
But now is the perfect time to think them through.
2. Complete some side quests
Especially if you're young, go on adventures...
Don't buy into the brainwashing about being a 'permanent underclass' and just sit in front of your computer all day.
You only have one life, and it's incredibly short.
You don't know when you might be gone in an instant.
Go create your own legend.
3. Connect with people on Twitter/X
I see many people anxious about the state of CT, the algorithm, etc...
But even in the worst-case scenario, you can still use this platform as an excellent way to connect with like-minded people or those you admire.
Just send a direct DM, interact on the TL.
As I've said before, I genuinely believe Crypto Twitter attracts some of the smartest, most interesting, and most talented people on the planet...
Some of them are quieter now, posting less, but they're still here.
The beautiful thing about Twitter/X is 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 the dopamine machine it once was, don't forget to leverage its real utility.
4. Hit the gym, build muscle
A bear market offers plenty of time to lift weights.
Even if you're worried about not having time for the gym, it's fine.
You can get seriously jacked at home with just a pull-up bar + adjustable dumbbells.
A few of my favorite exercises:
- Pull-ups (various grips)
- Dumbbell Overhead Press
- Lateral Raises (can make big progress with very light weight)
- Neck Isometrics
- Hanging Leg Raises (best exercise for six-pack abs)
5. Get sun, get tan
'The sun is bad for you' is perhaps the most severe brainwashing campaign of modern society.
Sunlight is incredibly important for health.
Many of your body's most sensitive processes (insulin secretion, melatonin production, etc.) are regulated by sunlight hitting your eyes.
Staying indoors all day (especially with harsh overhead lights at night) severely disrupts your biology.
Embrace your birthright – be muscular, be tanned, and take pride in how you look now.
6. Explore new frontiers of the online economy
If you're bored with Twitter/X, go deep on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or another area of the online economy.
I've been doing this myself the last few days, uploading a few short videos and starting to understand that world and its ecosystem.
I'll post updates if it makes sense (just editing some interviews to get familiar for now, nothing special), but there's a whole world outside CT. Who knows, maybe the center of the next crypto bull run is somewhere else on the internet – sounds crazy, but entirely possible.
7. Keep exploring potential airdrops and accumulate altcoin positions you like
I know no one wants to do this right now.
Sentiment is completely shredded, the general consensus is crypto is dead and will never come back.
And yet...
We've seen this exact playbook over and over the past few years, and each time it eventually reversed.
That silly airdrop your mutual is obsessed with today could be tomorrow's Hyperliquid airdrop.
That dumb-looking altcoin your bro is accumulating now could be next year's Zcash (ZEC).
8. Write
No matter how dead the Twitter timeline looks, no matter that almost no one is reading.
Writing is one thing we should always do.
It's the only thing connecting us to our ancestors and thousands of years of history.
It's what separates us from machines – our ability to produce unique thoughts never before seen, to turn the agony of life into art.
It's also the only thing connecting us to the future.
So write – whether in tweets, articles, long videos, or any other form.
Write for your unborn children, if you must.
Write for yourself.
Write so your ancestors and descendants will know that in this absurd little chapter of human history, you were at least doing something.
And finally – write for your bros and mutuals. If you love crypto, love CT, and want it to thrive, then keep using it, even in its seemingly bleak moments.
9. Be the change you want to see
The Boomers are dying out.
We get to create whatever future we want.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
If you want the next decade to be the glorious age of the 'jacked, tanned crypto bros,' the long-awaited apex of the long-suffering Millennials and Zoomers – then make it happen with your actions every day.
