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.
Thank you for reading.
