That's the beauty of hodling you can opt-out at any time and enjoy short-term pleasures and live with the regret later lol
Normies don't want a solution to their problems, they just want to complain, many of us started out as normies but were motivated to take action and accountability, put in the time and effort and we're now willing to walk the walk
Personally hodling doesn't suck as much as what I was doing before buying index funds, stonks and trying to save that sucks balls
What got me into Bitcoin was energy. I work with large equipment (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic etc) and learning about this 'network powered by energy' was the thing that did it for me.
I just... felt attracted to it immediately. To this day I still equate electricity with 'digital capital' and it's what makes Bitcoin special imo. It wasn't even a savings or money thing either... just a 'way to preserve energy' like the engineered systems at work.
But it's almost impossible to explain that to a 'normie' who hasn't had the professional exposure to stuff like that. Somewhere along the way I just fell down the RH and the hours fly by
