It is just over 12 hours until the halving, and many people appear to be counting down as if BTC will magically increase from 64k to 150k after the halving. Of course, this is impossible, but we are all eager to get past it and move on. The way people are counting down indicates that many are tired of the market's sideways movement. 


## The Bear Market Has Lasted Too Long 


Do Kwon and SBF, in particular, cut the last bull market short, resulting in more than two years of bloodshed. 2024 has been by far the most optimistic year, owing to the fact that we can now see glimpses of what may occur soon. However, waiting can be a frustrating experience. The average person is not designed to wait, which makes life seem meaningless to some extent.


 People are designed to be in the thick of things, and unfortunately, no one is really prepared to wait; it breeds anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. 

However, no one will fast-forward what will likely happen to the market in 12 months time. All of the countdowns will only heighten anxiety, so it is time to get busy. It will be the longest 12 months (I am estimating 12 months to when many coins will reach their peak performance), and unless you make good use of that time, you may waste it with endless waiting, speculation, permutations, and agitation.


## You May Lose Yourself 


 However, this is easier said than done. I was talking with @thebighigg, and he mentioned how getting busy can help you cope with life's stress and misfortunes. This most likely includes temporary distractions and activities that simply occupy your time and give it additional meaning. Distractions do not work for me. Maybe it is because I have had too much trouble lately and can not seem to put my life back together.


## The Last 7 Months Has Been Traumatic For Me 

 Perhaps it is the worry about my health and the stress of the complications. Living in denial about your current situation only means you will have to confront your problems; temporary happiness is as bad as sadness itself. It is as if people choose cigarettes and alcohol for short-term relief from life's difficulties, only to return to their worries once the effects of these substances have passed. 



> It is the same with me. 


Distractions do not work for me because they only provide temporary relief, as the name implies. Most of the time, what we need for true distractions is determined by what we hope and wait for. Many people are waiting for Bitcoin to reach $150k so that they can truly establish their lives, and everything that happens before then is irrelevant. No one truly knows how to wait unless they have the necessary tools.




 Many wealthy individuals are currently selecting coins that are undervalued in the market, investing in projects, and establishing their position. It only demonstrates the importance of having something solid to rely on while waiting for the storm to pass. With the current situation, BTC may still reach $55,000 before taking off. 



> Perhaps, maybe not.


 Many people will bail out or sell off before that date. It is darkest before dawn, but sometimes the darkness makes us believe it will last forever and we will never see dawn.

Nonetheless, I advise you to find distractions and let the storms rage and calm. As I previously stated, it is easier said than done, and I will not judge you if you capitulate and completely lose yourself. No one can judge anyone at the moment, but I will still say, find a temporary fix for the market volatility and do your best to do what is best for you.
