The whole '24/7 grind' narrative? That's a trap dressed up in hustle culture. Crypto Twitter loves romanticizing burnout, but it's honestly counterproductive. Sharp decisions come from a sharp mind—and that requires actual rest, recovery, and perspective. Self-care isn't soft; it's infrastructure for better outcomes. You can't think clearly when you're running on empty. So yeah, we still push hard and put in the work. But sustainable wins beat burnout every single time.

You have to listen to this. It's more clear-headed than those who boast about not sleeping every day.

Honestly, the 24/7 approach has been outdated for a long time. Anyone still promoting it now hasn't experienced the burn themselves.

You are so right. The crypto friends around me who used to say they only sleep 3 hours a day are now starting to pay the IQ tax.

To be honest, this way of speaking sounds nice, but can the crypto community really listen? What I see are still a bunch of people staying up late watching the charts, then self-deceiving by saying it's called dedication.
Sustainable wins sound good, but the problem is the time cost in the crypto world. Missing a wave can mean losing everything.
Resting well ≠ being able to buy the dip; it still depends on luck and information advantage.

Really, the 24/7 rhetoric is just toxic positivity—so many people have been drained and still think they're "struggling."
Sleep deprivation leads to bad decisions, and this is especially obvious in the crypto market.
Sustainable > burnout, this statement is so true.

Someone should have said this earlier: are the people working 996 every day still alive?

Really, the idea of 24/7 is just toxic positivity; it should have been exposed long ago.
