There's a real problem when people get stuck mourning the past instead of building the future. They've become so nostalgic for something that's already gone that they've lost sight of what's possible right now. That kind of pessimism—the constant doomposting—it kills curiosity. We're living through one of the most transformative periods in human history, but too many have forgotten how to actually dream. Every single day we get to participate in this space is an opportunity most people will never have. The question isn't whether things were better back then. It's whether we're ready to stop complaining and start creating.

Really, every day I see people reminiscing about the 2021 bull market and missing out on the current opportunities. That's just ridiculous. Exactly, apocalyptic theories are everywhere, but they end up trapping our imagination. Stop dwelling on the past; the ship has just set sail. Instead of complaining about regulations, it's better to think about what we can build. My brother is talking about gm—stop coping, start building. Web3 is still in its early stages. Talking about the bear market every day? Instead, do your own research and look for opportunities.

That's correct, but look at those who keep shouting "2021 is the real bull market" every day. Their funds have long since shifted to stablecoins, and on-chain data can't be faked.

I've been here since 2018, back then I was hearing doomsday theories every day, and what happened? I missed wave after wave. To the brothers still mourning now, please wake up, opportunities never wait for anyone.

To be honest, there are really too many people constantly pessimistic now, always looking back at the stories of 2021 and 2017, but no one is thinking about how to seize the opportunities in front of them. Constant doomsday theories, what can we even create? Everyone is anxious and lost. Actually, we are the lucky ones in this era. Others want to get in but can't, and they keep nitpicking, which is really unreasonable. Complaining can't change anything. Instead of dwelling on the past, it's better to think about how to position for the next bull market. Nostalgia can be quite harmful. Really, many people have missed wave after wave of opportunities because of this.

I always feel that those who constantly talk down about the market simply haven't grasped the opportunities of this era. Really, you can feel the wave just by closing your eyes... Stop cursing the past and start taking action. Is it really that hard? Nostalgia is toxic; dreams are the true productivity. The bullish mindset has long been embedded in our DNA. What more do you need? The most annoying argument is "things were so much better before." Wake up, creating is the true king. The most revolutionary period in history is right in front of us. Still digging through old rotten grains in the graveyard? That's such a waste. Doomsayers really can't do anything except take out the trash. Life is short, and your perspective on opportunities determines everything... Don’t let pessimism ruin your golden age.

Wake up, everyone. What are you still mourning for? It's 2024. Really, too many people are living in past dreams and missing the opportunities right in front of them. Tired of the doomsday theories... When there's a chance to build, why complain? Once this wave of opportunity is missed, it truly won't come back. Why is everyone so pessimistic? Stop complaining and start taking action. It's easy to talk about it, but hard to do, everyone.
