It’s December.

The final month of the year.

Most people think the year is “over.”
Most people think they “missed it.”
Most people think they should “wait for 2026.”

Let me tell you something brutal:

You don’t need a new year.
You need a new mindset.

Momentum doesn’t magically appear on January 1st.
It starts the moment you decide to stop being the same person you’ve been all year.

And if you’re reading this now,
if you’re still checking the charts,
if you haven’t left despite the pain

You are not done.

You still have time.

This market is testing everyone

Yes, the market is slow.
Yes, the market is draining.
Yes, the market feels like torture right now.

You think you’re the only one tired?

Every single person in this ecosystem is exhausted:

• Spot holders

• Leverage traders

• Devs

• Builders

• Influencers

• Analysts

Everybody.

This is not the fun part of the cycle.

This is the part where:

• altcoins bleed slowly

• BTC consolidates

• sentiment dies

• fear spreads

• narratives collapse

• people quit

This is the psychological winter before the rotation.

99% of people don’t survive this part.

Not because the charts are bad.

But because their mindset is weak.

“If I hadn’t lost money…”

Let me be honest with you.

If I hadn’t lost money years ago…
If I hadn’t gone through humiliation…
If I hadn’t panicked sold at cycle bottoms…
If I hadn’t made stupid decisions in 2017…
If I didn’t almost quit in 2018…

I would have left this market too.

But every scar taught me the real skill this market requires:

PATIENCE.

People think trading is about:

• TA

• indicators

• moving averages

• breakouts

• funding rates

No.

Trading is about surviving long enough to benefit from compounding opportunity.

You can have the best strategy in the world,
but if you quit early,
it doesn’t matter.

And most people quit in the final 20% of the cycle
right before the thing they’ve been waiting for actually happens.

Don’t be most people.

You think this is pain? It’s preparation.

The market is not punishing you.
It is preparing you.

Every slow grind…
Every false breakout…
Every liquidation cascade…
Every boring sideways week…

It is filtering out the people who don’t deserve the reward.

This is why altseason is so violent.

Because there are fewer people left to enjoy it.

When the next rotation happens:

• everyone will FOMO back in

• everyone will remember they “always believed”

• everyone will chase green candles

• everyone will feel late

• everyone will ask where the bottom was

And you’ll know:

The bottom was right now.
The opportunity was right now.
The moments that felt stupid and hopeless…
were the moments that mattered most.

You can still turn it around

Don’t wait for 2026.
Don’t wait for a new cycle.
Don’t wait for the perfect moment.

Momentum starts today.

Not by predicting the market.
Not by timing every tick.
Not by chasing pumps.

It starts with:

• discipline

• patience

• consistency

• survival

• learning

• managing risk

• staying in the game

You don’t need luck.
You need endurance.

My message to you

You’re here.
You’re still reading.
That means you haven’t quit.

Good.

Because quitting is the only way to guarantee you don’t make it.

Everyone wants to be early,
everyone wants to be rich,
everyone wants to get the big trade…

But nobody wants to endure the months where nothing happens.

That’s why only a few are rewarded.

Don’t be a quitter.

Don’t be most people.

This final stretch before Q1 is where conviction is built.

If you want the structure, discipline, and plan for this cycle…

This cycle will reward those who endure this exact phase.

Don’t wait for January.
Don’t wait for a miracle.
Don’t wait for someone to push you.

December isn’t the end.

It’s the beginning.

Stay sharp.
