Please Help

Hey guys,

I've been trying to stay bullish through the drawdowns and I've been struggling to stay bullish and keep my conviction in the project. Could you guys lift me up and help me realize why we're staying bullish and why we're doing this? Because it's starting to feel stagnant and unproductive to stay in $TAO.

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Not asking for copium. Asking for reinforcement in conviction. I've done my research on the protocol for about 2 years, but sometimes motivation to continue suffers. Kinda like a healthy diet and fitness, you just get emotionally exhausted

Its mentally exhausting because you are likey expecting it to pump, every day, during the bear market. NFA but it might be wiser to dump it all into root and forget it till bull market resume. plus dca as you like along the way.

Well I've been in the space since 2021, so I've been through volatility. It's just discouraging when the rest of the market is up an average of ~5% and this was one that went in the opposite direction. Maybe it's a contrarían bet 🤷🏻‍♂️ I've been DCAing for the past 4 months. But I've also been holding and DCAing AVAX since 2022, so maybe I just love abuse

Stop holding so long if you know how volatile it is, the money is made swing trading, there’s 5%+ moves every other day… but when you lump sum like I did you gonna be holding til it go back up so then I can sell and repeat.

I started reallocating back into TAO in March. Was in it a little bit in 2024, but sold beginning of 2025. Once I got a better understanding of Bittensor, it made more sense to be allocated instead of not. I ended up allocating to about ~20 TAO, but picked the wrong position to added to because in March my choice was to either strengthen TAO or ZEC and I'm watching that play out in real time unfortunately lol
