Boring? This clearly shows that you are here for the wrong reasons. This also clearly shows that you can't benefit from a market in decline. In other words, you are out to book easy profits on the way up due to hype pumps. Just take a long break and come back somewhere in November to see if the market changed its sentiment, or start using Bitcoin as money right away (best option).

The more you use Bitcoin, the less you get bothered by how "boring" current market is. Usage is your only savior with how we won't be seeing anything close to $20,000 for a longer period of time.

Hodlers doomed? Not sure what your definition of a hodler is, but it's highly flawed. The only people suffering right now are get rich quick noobs.
