Brothers, the factory just paid the wages yesterday, and I got a total of 6800 yuan in hand. Anyone who works away from home knows that the money earned is all hard-earned sweat money. After deducting the fixed few hundred yuan for cigarettes every month, and then the usual expenses like drinking water with coworkers, occasionally treating others, and daily small expenses, there’s basically not much left. Fortunately, the factory provides free meals and accommodation, so I don’t have to worry about food and housing costs. I’ve painstakingly saved money from every little bit, managed to gather 800 dollars, recharged directly via C2C, bought 26,000 CORE, and staked all of it on-chain with lock-up, not leaving a single cent, all solidified into chips. I’ve made up my mind that from now on, every month when I get paid, I will unfailingly invest 800 dollars in CORE. My coworkers around me and strangers online don’t understand at all; they mock and ridicule me every day. They say the market is so bad, this coin is weak and exhausting, everyone else has run away, but I’m still foolishly adding to my position, saying I’m just wasting effort and just taking the bag. Actually, no one really understands my situation. A long time ago, when the price was high, I heavily invested in 200,000 CORE, and I’ve been deeply trapped ever since. I’m numb to the floating loss, and my mindset has been worn down. Honestly, since I’m already stuck like this, losing one or two ten thousand chips more doesn’t really matter. Instead of breaking down mentally and cutting losses to admit defeat, wasting the hard-earned sweat money I saved from working, it’s better to invest regularly every month to lower the cost, slowly accumulate chips, quietly wait for the market to reverse, and bet on a chance to turn things around. Honestly, I’ve always felt quite wronged inside. Every time I sincerely post about CORE, talk about my holdings and views, the comment section is always full of people criticizing, cursing, and mocking me, saying I’m brainwashing, calling signals, or fooling people. But who knows, I’m actually the biggest victim myself. I’m also someone stuck at a high position, deeply trapped, I’ve lost a lot of money, I get anxious, I get upset, I have insomnia. I’ve never fooled anyone into buying high; I’m just sharing my own holdings and my own persistence. No matter what I post, it’s always cold sarcasm and harsh words, which is really disheartening. Many people open their mouths to trash-talk, saying CORE is a garbage coin. But they don’t even want to spend a minute to understand its underlying logic. CORE, as the core expansion infrastructure of the Bitcoin ecosystem, relies on Bitcoin’s top-level underlying security, while also supporting smart contracts. It is the core narrative target of the next bull market in the BTC ecosystem. Now the ecosystem is steadily landing, SatPay is counting down to launch, the on-chain burn mechanism is continuously operating, whales and institutional funds are quietly accumulating at low levels, and chips are becoming more and more concentrated. The current long-term sideways trading and repeated oscillations are not weakness at all; it’s a standard main force shakeout, washing out all unstable retail investors and all floating chips without faith, just for a thorough main rise explosion later. I work 12-hour shifts on the factory line every day, repeating the boring work day after day, exhausted with back pain, my hands full of calluses from hard work. I have no background, no resources, no shortcuts. The only chance I dare to bet on in this life is CORE. My coworkers advise me to cut losses early, haters keep spreading negative sentiment, everyone wants me to cut losses and hand over low-level chips. But I know very clearly: once I cut losses, I’ve truly lost completely. All previous losses, all persistence, all the sweat from monthly investments, will be wasted. I don’t follow short-term price swings, I’m not disturbed by outside noise, and I won’t let ridicule break my mindset. It’s already as hard as climbing to heaven for ordinary people to turn things around. Since I’m already in the game, I’ll fight to the end. Keep investing regularly at low levels, lock up and stake, quietly build strength, patiently wait for the bloom. I’m betting once, betting that CORE won’t let down every ordinary person who silently holds on, betting that every night shift I endure, every drop of sweat I shed, will finally earn back principal and interest, and completely break free from the assembly line life! $CORE #美伊协议基本谈妥，油价暴跌加密普涨 #加息重回讨论桌：沃什就任，年底加息正式定价

Because I bought CORE at a high price. My wife wants to divorce me. Brothers. I really can't hold on much longer. I initially bought 300,000 RMB worth of CORE at a high point. Back then, my mind was full of opportunities. I thought the BTC ecosystem had potential, and Core had a story ahead. I hoped that if this wave succeeded, the pressure at home would ease a lot. But it kept dropping all the way down. My account is almost zero now. I'm almost drained too. CORE, please be strong. Pull back up near $2, please. It's not that I want to argue with anyone. Nor do I need to prove how good I am at predicting. I just really want my family to catch a break. Haters laugh every day, and the comment section is full of criticism. They say I’m calling trades, that I’m a bag holder, that CORE is hopeless. I want to pretend I don’t care. But honestly, no one's money comes from thin air. Screenshots from when CORE was over $2. Back then, holding over 1,200 tokens was worth more than $2,700. Look at it now. It really feels awful. CORE, come on. Show some strength. Pull back to $2. Give the haters a hard slap in the face. And let people like me who are still holding on breathe a little. I’m not asking to get rich overnight. Just don’t let me lose too embarrassingly. Brothers holding CORE. If you’re still hanging in there. Let’s support each other in the comments. This road is really tough. $CORE #美伊拉锯倒计时：霍尔木兹30天内重开 #本周宏观三重奏：沃什首秀+美日利率双决议

Brothers. Today I’m making a post. If one day. CORE really rises to $10. I will directly give away 10,000 CORE on the planet. Not bragging. Not just empty talk. Because when it really hits $10. I guess I’ll be grinning from ear to ear. To be honest. Posting this now. There will definitely be people in the comments saying it’s a dream. Some will say it’s impossible. Some will say let it reach $1 first. But that’s how the crypto world is. Things that seem impossible now. A few years later, looking back. Might just be so-so. Anyway, I’ll keep this post. When CORE hits $10. I’ll come back to fulfill my promise. If it doesn’t. You can come back and laugh at me. Fair enough. $CORE #霍尔木兹"关闭罗生门"，瑞士谈判今日启动 #美联储：降息窗口关闭，加息重燃

Brothers, to be honest, I really hope CORE keeps going up now. It's been hard to see any movement these past couple of days, so don't just give a little hope and then crush it back down, I really can't take it. I still hold spot, and I also have a 20x short position. Entered around 0.026, afraid it might break below zero again. If it really liquidates me, I'll have to admit you're strong, maybe even give you a thumbs up. If you can blow up my 20x short, it means you really have some power. Don't stop, keep pushing up. $CORE

Brothers, come on, keep shorting CORE. At noon it shot up directly to 0.03, my 20x short stop loss got triggered, and right after I stopped out, it started dropping again, really no respect for me at all. Now around 0.026, I foolishly opened a position again. This is no longer just trading crypto, this has become a personal grudge with CORE. Still holding spot, and daily fighting against it with contracts, if it pumps again, I admit defeat. But at this position, I still want to short one more time. CORE, if you blow me up again today, I’ll admit you’re awesome. $CORE

Brothers, I really give up on my 20x CORE short position. At noon, it directly hit my stop loss, and I thought, fine, I accept it. But as soon as my stop loss was triggered, CORE immediately started crashing. What kind of script is this? Not crashing early or late, but just waiting until I hit my stop loss to start dropping. I almost threw my phone. This really made me experience what it means when "the stop loss is hit, but the market is gone." CORE, you really know how to play. $CORE

Now I hardly dare to say I am a "firm holder of CORE" anymore. Because when it really drops, no one’s heart is that firm. Sometimes I also think, maybe I should just switch to another coin. Seeing BTC rise, I want to switch to BTC. Seeing SOL rise, I wonder if I should switch to SOL. But when it really comes to selling CORE, I start to hesitate. I’ve held it for so long; what if it goes up after I sell? So in the end, I just put it back in my wallet. I guess many brothers who have held for a long time feel the same. It’s not about being firm, it’s just unwillingness to give up. $CORE

Brothers, holding CORE until now, I realize the most tormenting thing isn't the drop. It's that other coins are rising. BTC goes up, you glance at CORE. SOL goes up, you glance at CORE again. Even a coin you never cared about before suddenly doubles, and you can't help but think: If only I had bought that back then. Then you look at your own CORE. Silent for a few seconds. Forget it, the path I chose is the one I walk. I wonder how many brothers in the comments feel the same way as me, every time they see another coin surge, their first reaction is regret for not switching. $CORE

My current CORE position is basically in a state of: Not wanting to tinker every day, nor planning to exit immediately. Slowly adding a bit when the position is right. After buying, transfer to the wallet. Keep holding what's in the wallet. Occasionally check the quantity. Occasionally check the market. Just accumulate bit by bit like this. As for what this final holding will bring me, no one knows now. First, get through today well, and manage the position first. $CORE

Brothers, come on, CORE, don't give me face today, keep pushing up. I already have a 20x short position open here, usually I hope you go up every day, but today I want you to show some spirit and pull it up directly for me. Better yet, blow up my short position in one go, so I can fully experience what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot. I'm still accumulating spot, and I went short on contracts again, this operation is really a bit abstract. But here's the deal, if CORE really blows up my 20x short position today, I admit you're awesome. $CORE

Brothers, I discovered something quite real. Before, when CORE dropped, my first reaction was to sell. Now, when it drops, my first reaction is to see how much money I still have available. It's not because I'm braver. It's purely because the market has worn me down over time. Before, I panicked at every drop. Now I've started to learn to accept the volatility. Of course, when it really crashes hard, it still hurts. But I no longer make decisions immediately like before. $CORE

I used to love calculating my cost when buying CORE. Calculate once after buying. Calculate again after adding more. Keep calculating when it drops. Every day I studied when I could break even. Now I'm too lazy to calculate. It's not that I don't care, but calculating over and over doesn't change anything. Now I just buy a little and leave it, occasionally checking my amount. I actually feel much more relaxed. Maybe this is the biggest change after holding for a long time. $CORE

I don't really remember how I felt the first time I bought CORE. I only remember thinking that buying a little and holding it shouldn't be a big deal, but then I ended up holding it until now. I added a few times in between, sold a little, and regretted it a few times as well. Now when I open my wallet again, I find that the amount has increased quite a bit compared to the beginning. Price aside, at least the quantity has truly been accumulated bit by bit. Sometimes, looking at this number, I even find it quite interesting. At first, I just casually bought a little, but now it has become something I constantly pay attention to. $CORE
