You're right about everything, but you forgot to mention this is also the fun part.

I know it's an odd place to find it, but there's a sense of fellowship here, especially at times like this, when the market is hemorrhaging everywhere you look, that you only find in tight communities, but amplified.

Everyone into sports enjoys the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat along side their team, but the players on the field... the people who put in the time everyday at practice, who spent days on the road, who fight for it every goddamn day... those are the ones who truly reap the rewards. That's the entirety of the core crypto community.

Everyday we get to stand on the field and work and struggle and bleed. Sometimes we're carried off the field on our teammates' shoulders... sometimes on a stretcher... but we all get back in the game the second we can walk back onto the field and that's the kind of glory that builds champions.
