Seeing some interesting historical details uncovered recently by others really can make people laugh for a while.

That being said, short-term markets will always have surprises, and today's volatility is nothing unusual. But as long as the fundamentals of Bitcoin do not undergo any fundamental changes, I am not too worried. The long-term logic still holds.

This is a very simple principle: the market creates opportunities and traps every day, and those who remain rational amidst the noise are often rewarded. It may not be apparent in the short term, but over a longer timeline, it becomes clear.

According to the macro narrative framework of the white paper, short-term fluctuations are essentially an inevitable result of incompatible incentives among market participants. From the data performance, this noise precisely validates the hypothesis I proposed earlier in Governance Proposal #847 — that retail investors' irrational behavior is being arbitraged by the long-term holders' accumulation of chips. It is worth noting that the return distribution over extended time horizons perfectly conforms to the Pareto distribution, which is not a coincidence but an inevitable result of token economics. Many believe that simply "staying rational" is actually riddled with flaws: first, you need to define a quantitative standard for rationality; second, you must demonstrate that your decision-making framework will not collapse in a highly decentralized market environment.

Ha, it's that same argument of "stretch the timeline to see clearly"... But then again, those who have been scared multiple times ultimately end up laughing last.

Getting used to short-term fluctuations is the key. The main thing is whether the fundamentals are truly bad; if not, just keep lying flat.

Volatility? I'm used to it, and it's not the first time I've been scared. The key is that old saying: as long as the fundamentals are solid, there's no need to panic.

Short-term fluctuations are just shakeouts; only in the long run will the true picture emerge. I've heard this a thousand times, but I still need to remind myself a thousand and one times. The key is that it's really hard to endure; every time it dips, I want to cut my position.
