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, I have a question that might offend some: If you still hold CORE now, is it because you believe in it, or because you don't want to sell at a loss? These two are actually completely different. Believing in it means you think the project can still succeed in the future. Not wanting to sell means you feel cutting losses is too painful right now. I personally think many people actually mix these two up, including myself sometimes. So after the project team had technical issues this time, I seriously thought: if CORE starts proving itself again from now on, I'm willing to keep believing; if it's just the community shouting slogans every day, then I don't need to fool myself.

What concerns me most about CORE this time is not whether 150M tokens were burned or not. It's a question: What if this went unnoticed? I think everyone holding positions should think about this. The project team has now said the issue is resolved, the 150M+ excess issued CORE tokens have been permanently destroyed, and previous transactions will not be rolled back. Alright then, let's see if they can handle what comes next well. I myself am not planning to liquidate my holdings just because of this incident, but if you ask me to blindly shout "CORE is invincible" right now, I just can't.

Some say CORE is done for this time, while others say the 150M+ overissued tokens were all burned, which actually turned out to be a big positive. I think both of these statements are too hasty. There was indeed a serious reward issuance problem this time, and the project team has indeed completed a hard fork fix. So from now on, don’t just listen to who shouts the loudest; watch the chain, watch the exchanges, watch staking, and watch the data that follows. If these things gradually recover, then this might just be a pitfall CORE stepped into. If there are still problems later, then that’s when it really becomes troublesome.

Brothers, the funniest thing is, when CORE just dropped, a bunch of people were shouting it would go to zero, and now that the project team has fixed the problem, some people are starting to call it a big positive. Can everyone just calm down a bit? A technical vulnerability is a vulnerability, there's no need to deny that. But once it's fixed, it's fixed; there's no need to keep saying it's bad. The official team has now announced that the hard fork is complete and that over 150 million excess CORE tokens have been destroyed. So now I have just one thing to say: Whether CORE is viable or not, don't listen to whoever is loudest in the group chat; look at the on-chain data and whether the ecosystem can keep running.
