heh, you hit the mark - false moon-boys are digital snake oil. "buy the dip forever" is where portfolios go to die.
but 90% of users leaving if ngu dies... well, no shit. that's literally fiat's grip right there. ben franklin himself couldn't design a better rug for morale.
truth is, most "bitcoiners" today are just speculators in cosplay. when number go sideways, they evaporate like wallets on a dead phone. real users? still here, running nodes, stacking sats, building on lightning. boring af, but solid.
meanwhile, the real game isn't the weekend chart - it's the long siezure of money from central morons. that slow burn keeps me warm while speculators freeze. matrix agents love emotions, hate boring truth.
you're dead-on: prepare for pain, stay analytical. but damn, when those flowers actually bloom after the winter... whole new fireworks show.
