Basically, we are hodling and passing through dark times. It is tough. We may, or may not be right. But if we are right, these will be the times we will feel vindicated by.

I am betting (and buying) on a gut feeling we are right. So are you (you're still here, right?) and it's too late to sell at the top, too late for pointless hindsight. Now we can only take the pain, sit it out and find out.

If it works out, we will have EARNED the right to feel smug as fuck that we were right all along.

And I think we are right.

OMG kurious, this this this a thousand times THIS. Thank you for saying it, resonated with me *bigly* right now.

Personally I'm basically fully OUT of crypto now, and looking back on last up/down crazy-ass cycle we are now emerging out of, I've decided to just look at it all as the last, final, "practice run" before the REAL SHOW will begin.

I watched the crypto run from $100 to $1,000 the first time.
I participated in the run from $1,000 to $10,000 second time (overshot to $20K yeah but really it should've been "only" 10k)

WHEN not IF this all goes *whoosh boom* again, it'll be the second-to-last 10-bagger mooning and cycle will be 10K to 100K (the 100K to 1Million theoretical run may not ever happen, IMO)

So THAT is the ONE we-all gotta be prepped ready aware awake and fully on our TOES to take advantage of.

And when it comes and I'm playin' it like a boss... goddamn you better fucking BELIEVE Ima be fucking SMUG as HELL about it. LOL

P.S. There was a time once, long long ago 'way back in the mists of time when I actually owned a wallet that held 1,000 Monero: please keep up this retracement HoneyPony! I am hopeful I will once again be able to afford to replace that stack Grin

I agree with you both.

These are hard times for sure. But how many times have we seen it?

This whole event... unfolding... whatever it is... makes me regret not being 25. I mean I have quite a few good years left, but I don't think we are going to even see the tip of the iceberg for 20+ years. Who on Earth knows what it will look like in 50?

I am a bitcoin maximalist in that I think Bitcoin will gobble up every crypto "feature" developed in other coins over time, but ONE. And, I think, only ONE coin does something Bitcoin never can.

This is why it is not on that list of smoldering garbage Coinbase added recently. I used to think people who said "We don't really want to be on Coinbase" were crazy (I have never used Coinbase lol). Now I get it. TPTB are terrified this project just might be successful. All of them... governments, corporations, etc.

I think they got a pretty good ride coming.

We do too... but from the vantage point of the Engine Car. Wink

Bitcoin is a much safer bet at this point, Monero is losing rank on coinmarketcap and the daily volume is very low now. I don't want to be left holding worthless alts at this point so I'm going to stick with the only trusted coin, BTC. Goodluck with this coin if your staying invested in it but there is a good chance most of these
altcoins will die out.

I know the whole privacy thing but the majority of people don't care about that and there are a lot of other upcoming projects with privacy features. I just don't see monero surviving.

Please name one you think will be able to usurp Monero's privacy set.

Just one please.
