Sisyphus pauses his regular buying

Sisyphus had entered this story with the airdrop on 2024-01-09. He had seen the peak and then watched the price and community mood recede. After the recent run of declines, regular buying no longer felt like a habit he could leave unquestioned.

He stopped his recurring purchases and, for the first time, said he 'wanted to step away for a while.' Someone in the group took that to mean he would sell his holdings, but Sisyphus did not present a pause in buying as a decision to sell. He canceled the next automatic purchase to give himself time without having to justify another investment against each day's fall. He was in no hurry to decide whether to keep joining the discussion.

Previously, a fixed routine had carried him through volatility. Now he allowed himself room to stop and be quiet. That did not resolve the tension between his holdings and his convictions, but it meant any further investment would require a fresh choice. The narrator recorded his retreat without assigning him a return date.
