Recently, the market has been on a downward trend, and the overall market sentiment is quite depressed. Looking through various discussions, it's all the same—early Alpha opportunities are becoming harder to find, and it seems everyone is asking the same question: Can we still make money now?

But I’ve noticed that people's focus has quietly shifted. Instead of pursuing maximum returns, more people are now thinking about how to survive and how to lose less. This change is quite obvious.

When I recently adjusted my positions, I could especially feel this mindset. My allocation approach has completely changed—

It's a bear market and you're still thinking about Alpha. I say this is a mindset that hasn't adjusted well. Right now, just surviving is winning.

When the market is bad, you see everything most clearly—who's just swimming naked, haha. From making big money to breaking even and surviving, this transition is completed within a bear market. --- Honestly, those still obsessing over Alpha probably haven't experienced real losses. Less loss means more profit—that's only now I understand. --- Me too. I initially wanted to double my holdings, but now I just pray I don't fall below the cost price... The mindset really changes. --- After this wave, I realized my own strength—turning dreams into simply "surviving" has become a luxury, haha. --- Everyone's asking if they can make money, but I just want to ask—are people still earning? ...Is it real? --- When your mindset collapses, there are no big opportunities. Staying calm actually becomes the biggest alpha—ironic, isn't it? --- From chasing 10,000x coins to fearing a limit-down, this is the mental journey... Who hasn't gone through this? --- Changing your configuration approach is a good thing; it shows you're starting to be rational. Compared to those still sleepwalking, you're at least more clear-headed.

Breaking even is a profit; it's a realization that came too late.

Only when the market is down can you see things clearly. Some people are still dreaming of Alpha at this time. Wake up, brother.

The bear market truly exposes human nature completely. From dreams of getting rich quickly to barely surviving, the transformation happens so rapidly it's frightening.
