Watched someone chase a coin down from 70k all the way to 13k, and the narrative twist was something else. Started with accusations of market manipulation at the peak, then gradually shifted into "they're accumulating" territory by the mid-50s. By the time it hit 40k, suddenly every dip was a "buying opportunity orchestrated by insiders." The lower it went, the more bullish the commentary became—classic FOMO psychology flipped on its head. At 13k they were calling it "max accumulation zone." It's a textbook case of how traders rationalize losing positions, constantly reframing bad entries into hidden opportunities. The coin's price action didn't change the fundamental thesis; only the entry point did. When you're down 80%, the story gets real creative real fast.

Bro, this is a classic narrative routine. From 70k to 13k, they've changed the story line five times. Basically, the more they lose, the more they talk. Isn't this what we often call self-deception in the mempool?

Bought at 70k and sold at 13k, turning the loss into a stacking opportunity. This mindset is truly incredible haha

Haha, truly incredible. Storytelling all the way from 70k down to 13k. How strong must that mentality be? --- Falling from 70 to 13 and still self-hypnotizing with "bottom fishing," I really admire this kind of resilience. --- The most incredible thing is that the more it loses, the more bullish it becomes—an anti-indicator skill. --- Down 80% and still talking about accumulation zones... I need to learn this creative ability. --- The story is getting more and more absurd—that's the gambler's mentality. Nothing more to say. --- What you call "fundamentals unchanged" is actually just stubbornly holding on. --- Wait, is this about a certain coin, or is it a general routine? --- I just want to know if this guy is still in the game or not.

So realistic. This is the entire process of leek traders comforting themselves. --- 70k holding on until 13k and still telling stories. Laugh out loud. --- Every time they lose money, they come up with new reasons. That's true talent. --- From manipulation by the market makers to bottom-fishing opportunities, turning around is just a second. --- The harder the fall, the more sophisticated the narrative. I've seen too many people like this. --- -80% and still claiming max accumulation. Unbelievable. --- Basically, they just don't want to admit that their entry timing was bad, making up stories to deceive themselves. --- Honestly, when people lose money, their imagination is limitless. --- This is what a leek trader's self-cultivation course looks like. --- The more it drops, the more bullish I become. I really respect this logic.
