Turned out holding spot wasn't the chill move everyone thought it was. Market had other plans—looks like patience doesn't always pay off when volatility's running the show. The whole 'just accumulate and relax' narrative? Hits different when you're watching sideways action and opportunity costs pile up.

Sideways trading is the most torturous. Watching others double their money in futures while your spot holdings just depreciate passively—that's true torment.

These past few months of sideways trading have really been suffocating. Watching others double their leverage has crushed my morale. What is this, just holding coins to earn interest?

Consolidation is the most torturous. Watching others double their futures while I'm still holding onto spot positions, I really can't take it anymore.

The most frustrating part of sideways trading is watching others buy the dip and double, while you're just holding a brick.

Consolidation period has really been too torturous. Watching the opportunity cost fluctuate up and down, my mentality is also collapsing.
