I immediately reminded them that I lost money the last time this happened, told them I was horrible at timing this shit, and that this shit was so volatile they'd probably end up buying at the top. I managed to convince them giving me their money was retarded and had em back off. I then stayed in my room and then moped around the house for a bit pretending to be sad and when they took the bait and asked if my stocks were doing alright I told em I sold at the bottom, FOMO'd back in at the top, then panic sold when it tanked again and ended up losing a good chunk of cash.

I haven't actually sold jack shit, I just needed to trick them into thinking I'm a faggot with weak hands so they don't get jealous at me for not only making money on this but directly (in their mind) blocking them from making money as well. Fuck handling other people's cash. I'm not opening up that can of worms.

I'm not gonna lie, seeing this cult crawl out of the woodworks in the past few days is unironically scary as fuck.
