The worst thing during a market downtrend is the fact that we get to wait and do absolutely nothing, which bores me a little bit. Lets face it, we came out of 2 year period during pandemic when life was horribly boring, now that crypto is also boring right after pandemic is over, I feel like it pushes me to live my life, do something, but I do not know what to do. When crypto is volatile, it makes a fun period, you could check up on it, read about it, and even discuss it with others and have some fun. Now, I just finish my work, and then... do what? Netflix? Again? No thank you, I think this is the main cause of people who sell as well, since they just want to do something, instead of just boringly waiting.
While I understand what you mean we need to accept the reality, it is true that when the market is going up in price there is a very high degree of energy in the forums and in many other social media websites which is quite entertaining to watch, and when we have to face a bear market the opposite happens, however as an investor the most important aspect will always be the results you get and not the entertainment we obtain out of this market, so we need to control our feelings of boredom and do something else during that time.
