So I have been spending a lot of time speculating on the commonness of the above rationale.
That combined with the people who FOMOed in at 15k plus 3 years ago are very likely to make the road between 15k-25k kinda swirly and narrow.
You could've said the exact same about the return to $1000 and there was a lot more pain and terror before that happened.
If you're still here the chances are you've had a long, long time to learn and increase your resolve. The hopeless and gullible will have acted on that hopelessness and gullibility long before.
I am remembering the way it was right at the time we blasted through 1k for the second time and then fell to what was it? 800 or so?
I think a LOT of people pulled ripcords around that time.
