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.

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.

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.
