Joke A guy walks into a Bitcoin Support Group and says: Hi, I am Nick, long-term HODLer. I totally believe in Bitcoin for the next 10 years… and I’ve checked the price 42 times this morning. The group gasps. The therapist, wearing a hoodie that says In Node We Trust, leans forward and says: Nick, that’s not HODLing. That is taking your emotions hostage with a 1-minute chart. Suddenly, the lights flicker and a giant, glowing orange ₿ appears on the screen like it joined the Zoom call. Bitcoin clears its throat: Everyone keeps saying ‘Bitcoin is too volatile. I am not volatile. Your attention span is just stuck in 2017. The room goes silent. Bitcoin continues: If a 15-minute red candle can destroy your 4-year plan, you didn’t have a plan… you had a wish with Wi-Fi. The therapist nods: Class, repeat after me: Volatility is not punishment… it’s tuition. You can pay it in panic, or you can pay it in patience and education. Nick raises his hand: So what should I do when the price dips? Bitcoin shrugs: Simple. When the price goes down, your IQ about Bitcoin should go up. One dip = one lesson. Stop doom-scrolling Twitter, go read a page of the whitepaper. Nick whispers: So you are not wrecking me? Bitcoin smiles: I am not wrecking you, Nick. I am trying to upgrade your time horizon from TikTok to halving cycle.
