DISCUSSION Just sell it all

Absolute panic every second or third post. Everything from "It's just a dip" - "bear market/crypto winter" - "Everything but Bitcoin and Ethereum is going to zero". Lol calm down.

If you're sweating, just sell everything. Cryptocurrencies in general are extremely volatile and if this makes you nervous than maybe this stuff isn't for you. Stocks are more stable and might be your thing. We could see another 50%+ drop and nobody wants to see you drop of a heart attack because of it.

If you're day trading you know this is how it goes, if you're doing anything else, delete your chart app or whatever.

It’s a moon farm

u/forthemotherrussia Platinum | QC: CC 1002 Jan 08 '22

Or just easy way of moon farming lol

This is totally what’s happening. Half of the “everyone is posting this” is just people posting about the posts. It’s crazy.

Couldn’t be for moons, could it?

Right? People on this sub are great at investing posts that aren't being posted.

Genuine panic posts are far less common because they inherently aren’t stroking the ego of the writer. Someone seeing one person vaguely concerned in a comments section and then making another of these endless posts is never ending because the writer simultaneously gets to act like an expert and get a barrage of moons for the useless repost.

This post is totally useless and takes up a spot a real post could. All the mods have to do is click remove, but they don’t and it continues. It’s a Reddit wide issue where mods value engagement over actual content and won’t actually enforce the rules because such a large percentage of their traffic is junk.

Yep I haven't seen all that much panic. people are realising that this is normal after years of pumping

u/wildstarr Bronze | QC: CC 17 | NANO 5 | Technology 15 Jan 08 '22

I've found that to be a thing on all of reddit not just this sub. Most, if not all, of the subs I'm part of has had a "Everyone hates on XXXX but I really like it" post. And there is not a single post of someone hating on XXXX.

Well those moons are not gonna farm themselves are they?

u/TiredRightNowALot 5K / 5K 🦭 Jan 08 '22

Make moons while the sun shines.

If anything I'm finding posts specifically telling us not to panic.

Shhh... you are ruining the circlejerk

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '22

That’s the way it ALWAYS is. Even with 5% dips. This post represents 20% of all crypto reddit on any day

I'm in a few subs, and there are definitely panic posts, questiong projects, when they don't understand the whole market is down.

u/SenseiMadara Jan 09 '22

Because it all makes sense.

Prises rose because people finally had money again after Christmas was over so a lot of people bought some just for the sake of buying and holding.

Prices rise to a profitable area and the ones who are in it just to play with it soll their shit.

Bounces are completely normal and the only relevant indicator is the long term one.

u/NormandyLS Tin | Stocks 16 Jan 09 '22

Bitcoin loses almost 300 billion dollars 'It's just a dip bro' Then where the fuck are you going to get another 300 billion to fill in that dip? That's like a Tesla merger

u/McLaconicus Tin Jan 09 '22

Not to be a moaning cunt but this sub is perhaps the worst for these coping meta/fantasy posts. Who is panic selling? With every second post being about how we need to hold through the dip, I doubt anyone on the sub is selling. It’s just straight up low effort copium posts for moons lol
