I followed a Turkish account on Hive about a year ago, and he blogged about anything crypto. I started following him in the middle of the bear market and have learned a lot from him.


 He talked a lot about his plans to stay active on Hive throughout the bear market, as well as how he intends to optimize the bear market in order to profit during the bull market. 


This guy was active for a long time, but it is been more than three months and he has not been active and most likely has not followed through on his bull market strategy.


 Aside from Hive, I do not know how else to contact this person to find out why he has not been active. Perhaps he is been preoccupied with life, or they have not been feeling or doing well; check to see if they are still alive.


 Hive does not have message integration features. Another thought occurred to me: perhaps he had simply given up building until the bull market. This happens a lot; many people are excited about the prospect of building. They see the bear market as an opportunity to build; however, the market lags and stalls, dampening people's motivation.




 During the bull market, many newcomers were onboarded, not just to Hive, but to Crypto in general, and more than 80% have exited the market, with many selling their holdings and moving on. Many people believe that this is a Hive-specific issue, but it is not. 

## Web3 & Retention Issues

Web3 typically has retention issues because the majority of onboarding occurs as a result of an Airdrop or the bull market, which is why the people you are vibing and counting your millions with are not the same people you will be building with during the bull run. 


## Have Many Market Cycle Have You Seen? 

Most people have only seen three market cycles, while *OGs* have seen up to four. Most people who have only seen three cycles have not wised up. Many of us made mistakes in the first and second markets, but we have been here long enough. 

There are people who dropped out after the first true bear market of their first cycle and attempted to return during the second, but they did not develop the necessary survival and perseverance skills to survive the second one, so they dropped out again. 



## 2024 Has Not Lived Up To Expectations 


Again, this year was expected to be very positive for crypto, but, as we have seen with numerous swan events recently in crypto, we have not gotten a break. Aside from BTC breaking its previous ATH before the halving and BNB setting a new ATH, 2024 has been completely drab and negative, and even people who survived 2023 will not survive 2024.


 In reality, the year will end in just over 4 months, and there will be plenty of depressing price action to come. These constant lags are likely the reason why many people are abandoning cryptocurrency in general; it is simply too difficult for them. Their faith and resilience have been tested, and they are unable to hold on. It is easy to say, but difficult to do.


## Dust Or Joy? 


 This market is very unique, and no one has been able to predict anything similar to what we currently have, and I believe there will be more surprises that will undoubtedly drop off a batch of people before the second cycle of those markets. 


So, if you can make it to the apex of the bull run, I am confident that the people you are currently grinding with will not be the ones you will be counting millions with in 7 to 10 months. If you keep finding yourself with different people in different cycles, you will know how far you have come and how many people have bitten the dust in this quest to be financially free with cryptocurrency.
