/biz/ - Business & Finance

The most upsetting thing to me isn't the money that I lost. It's that we were right - we were RIGHT - but that in breaking the rules to save themselves, MMs gave cover to normies to pretend that we weren't. That we were suckers, blinded and dumbstruck by greed or misplaced passion. If you're on this site, this isn't the first time this has happened to you. You're probably the kind of person who observes accurately but has neither the wit or deep-eeated courage to execute, nor the charisma to sell. You wouldn't be hustling on the fringes, where volatility is astronomical and you're just as likely to end up ruined as made. No, you'd be hustling with the establishment at your back, ceiling still nonexistent but the floor solid and hardwood.

That's why this stings. It was a chance to show we had something right about us, just once. But we can't even have that. They knew too. If it was just about money, well, they could make it all back and then some easy. It was a message: no, you can't have that. You can't have anything. And we'll trash our own rules in broad daylight to show you how much of a nothing you are.

Feels bad man.
