I’ve had more people reach out to me shaken in this cycle than even in 2022 (when Bitcoin went down 75% from $68k ATH to $16k!) saying they’re panicked, they sold, or they’re suddenly “not sure” about Bitcoin.

Some bailed into gold because they still want to stay on the hard money train. Some are convinced quantum computing is about to “break” Bitcoin. Some tell me I’m reckless for being so undiversified with my life’s savings.

I understand the fear. Drawdowns aren’t fun. They can mess with your confidence and your timeline…especially when the mood is this dark (and when your income is tied to the same asset you’re holding!).

But here’s where I’m at: Bitcoin is still the only life raft worth holding and helping other people find.

My mom gets $900 a month in Social Security. Who can live on that? That’s not a retirement plan - it’s a slow economic strangulation.

So no, I’m not in Bitcoin because it’s some thrilling get rich overnight scheme. I’m in Bitcoin because I don’t see another path that gives everyday families like mine a real shot. I didn’t get in early enough to be “set.” I’m still building. Still working. Still trying to protect the people I love in a system that keeps making life more expensive!

I haven’t lost faith….not because I’m numb to this volatility, but because the problem Bitcoin solves hasn’t gone away.

If you’re shaken right now, you’re not weak. You’re human. Just don’t confuse a bad market mood with a broken thesis.

Keep going. Zoom out. Do the work. Take care of your family. I’m doing the same. We’ve got this.

it's cause there is so much 'media' about it.. used to be avoidable, now it's not.

in my follows feed there isn't that many people propagating MSM propaganda but a few of them that i had followed for a long time because i enjoyed their stuff... freaking out over the two shootings in the anti-ICE protests, and then popping up again parroting more MSM propaganda. it's so fucking yawn.

so, yeah, i don't see much of it. HBU?

true. i am shielded a lot from the direct contact with the community and it's been fascinating just how many people are on thet edge that i'm just a tippy-toe across that boundary outside the in-crowd. i aimed towards this kind of circumstance, even when i spent 2 years working for a shitcoin-based startup, who was dabbling in nostr much to my fortune, i didn't have to deal directly, except for contract negotiation interviews such as with the founders of arweave and internet computer protocol.

i wish i could do something more to help you get some more comfortable distance from them, but as you know, persuading big money to pay attention to nostr is extremelly difficult, so you are stuck being between the customers (who are slow to arrive due to the silly ideas in the main powers that be marketing and funding nostr dev) and those silly people with their self-contradictory positions.
