Yes.
"Never marry your bags" is the motto that basically everyone in crypto has been hearing hundreds of times.
And yet, we periodically end up marrying our bags.
Even if it's not meant to be a specific token, we end up marrying a narrative, even marrying crypto as a whole.
"If I don't make it in crypto I'm fucked up"
"The economy is rotten, there are no asymmetric opportunities apart crypto"
"I need to lock in, and yolo"
This is all part of a culture that has been injected into crypto but was not native to it.
It was injected because it's functional to the guys that manipulate the market to keep a few hundreds thousands of guys around the world, sticked to their pcs for months/years, draining them emotionally and energetically.
"There are huge opportunities, and chances to make money", "find your hedge", and motivational stuff like this, vomited by some larping kol that is more broken than his followers.
It's true, there are opportunities, but how asymmetric are they ?
The asymmetry has become completely thinned out the moment the market began to be competely manipulated, the whole memecoins cycle exposed that, a narrative created ad hoc to give the illusion that there were people making millions out of a few hundreds $ of "investments" while the plain truth ( pumpfun data ) was that after a few months just the 0.01% had made significant gains, the vast majority of people had lost money.
But losing money is not the worst part.
The mental health and emotional damage created by being 24/7 attached to charts, x, tg alpha, discord, doubts, "what ifs pain", fumblings, roundtripping, fomoing, every single emotion of this kind creates damage that stacks up, so it's no surprise that even people that might have made a good amount of money in crypto end up spiritually devastated ( you can ask @Innerdevcrypto if you don't trust me ).
And there is not a magic switch to fix that, money doesn't help.
Binding your energetic state to a token performance, linking your emotional state to a chart ( wake up to a green chart -> good mood , wake up to a -20% wick -> bad mood ) is the worst thing you can do.
The moment you realize that's happening you should immediately step back.
Consider also that most of this market performance is plainly manipulated, so a few guys there are sucking not just money from people, but their spiritual energy.
Guess who they are.
Altcoins have been dying for years, and they sadistically had so much fun in sending them further down 90% in a single 5 mins wick, creating mass suicides, depressions, etc...
So yeah, it's very possible that dead altcoins are gonna be the next toy they will use to pump the market after everyone has been annhilated, reset everything, get back creating fomo, and the emotional slaughter house game starts from scratch.
As I said a few days ago, I've gone mostly stabled and sidelined for the first time in 4 years.
The liquidation they created a few days ago was something big, much bigger than CT pretended it was imo.
And I still think that the broader effects are yet to be seen in our market.
For the first time in 4 years we have a divergence between macro and crypto markets, and I'm pretty sure this is one of the reasons.
"gold gains are gonna rotate to Bitcoin"
"hold steady lads, altszn is incoming"
While I think these 2 statements are technically correct, because M2 liquidity is gonna increase in 2026, this doesn't mean that will happen without pain.
So I prefer watching the things from the sidelines here, for the first time in 4 years, and I must admit that it feels good.
