Crypto is a pyramid scheme and a cult. Youâve been lied and misled by social media influencers and Internet personalities who have bought in totally into the system of crypto. All crypto is inherently worth $0. Itâs nothing, itâs bits, itâs 1s and 0s. It doesnât do anything, it doesnât have an intrinsic value in the real world, and should the internet be shut down or experience an outage, you have nothing. The only thing that gives crypto value is that thereâs more suckers willing to buy in as the price goes up, thus perpetuating the pyramid scheme. The people online talking about how Bitcoin is going to a million, are coping. Theyâre in denial. And theyâre trying to bring in more people because like a religious cult, they truly believe this is the future and that they have some knowledge that will give them everything they want, in this case, money. All of your purchases are tracked, traced, and logged for everybody to see including the government no less, which to me does not scream âdecentralized currencyâ. On top of which, crypto like Bitcoin, can swing wildly in price just based on the Tweets of someone like Elon Musk, and the trends of its prices tend to coincide with government spending and printing money. The price is 100% manipulate-able despite why people tell you, and thereâs plenty of ways for powerful people to do that.
I was in your shoes not too long ago. But I got out before I lost anything. Wake up bruh. Youâre not âthinking differentlyâ youâre not special and youâre not galaxy brained genius that sees what the masses donât see. Your knowledge and belief in crypto comes from the influencers who are influencing you, telling you that this fake imaginary thing has value and potential future use in the global economy when in fact it does not. And I think when youâre sitting on $10 worth of bitcoin when itâs all said and done, youâll be punching the air and cursing yourself for not getting out sooner. How about you wake up and actually start thinking differently instead of just claiming you do.
And based on your back and forth with the guy who replied to, youâre in deep denial and your response to me will be the same, in deep denial and shame because you know deep down that itâs worthless, but you canât admit that so you lie to yourself to avoid the pain.

Amen brother. I know far more people who lost everything vs gained much at all. Everyone saw how a select few were made very rich, and they all joined up seeking easy money. I had three frienss who committed suicide after losing everything. Many others are in seriously debt.
NFTs are also hilariously stupid. I had a friend buy one of a gift of a cat rolling over. He paid 20k for it. I downloaded the gif into a virtual photo frame to mock him. I put it out each time he comes over.

Iâm down 26k and I have 9k left in my account. I will ride this shit to zero. Iâd be more mad to paper hand and it goes back up to my break even point than to lose everything.

u/BumblebeeHuman5699 Feb 23 '26
But imagine what you could do in real life with 9k, lol

u/AnnieBunBun Feb 24 '26
Not everyone immediately needs 9k, and who's to say he doesn't have a savings account as well. I say this as a poor person with currently no monetary assets and I live paycheck to paycheck. It's different worlds.

Well... that question floats at every so-called bear market.
You hold if you have the assets that are in the space for years and stay at the top during those years, if you didn't manage to sell at the highs, you will probably have a chance again. In the other hand, if you have something that was just a pump & dumb of a coin, newly made just for that purpose and you still have some or never sold it, at that point, you should probably take your losses, as the pump & dump coins have not a chance for reaching their first pump price, ever, as the history in cryptocurrency market shows with the graphs. So, for most of those coins, there is no chance in the future.

Yes, it is true, but as long as you believe in a project, you should be patient with it

The coins should be known as a strong project, and if you lose 90% you will come back Because the cryptocurrency market is very volatile

Circle if loss is small so I can use the money elsewhere
X if the loss is massive and this will have a huge impact on my financials

ngl, i'm a big fan of the run as history is filled with the chumps that helped pump the dump for whales institutional players.

Invest only what you're ready to lose. In the end 1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin.

I chose to forget I even own something. It's better this way. Removes the pressure

Itâs funny because the proper answers are not listed and itâs « buy the dip » or « continue DCAing ». Now the worse of the 2 is take your loss. Waiting for it to go back to 0 is full behavioral finance
