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

I’m no longer arguing with people about CORE. You think it’s hopeless. Fine. I think it’s still worth watching. That’s fine too. In the end, whether I lose money or make money, no one in the comment section will bear that for me. So, let’s just each watch our own way. $CORE

Just suddenly thought of a question. CORE has dropped so much, how many people are really still paying attention to this project? Not just shouting $10 on the surface. Not just yelling zero every day. But really still checking the official website, looking at the chain, seeing if the project has anything new. Count me in. After being stuck for so long, I still want to see if it can eventually come back. #今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #霍尔木兹通航谈判未果，美伊施压升级 $CORE

Brothers. What CORE really needs is not us old players shouting every day. "Hold steady!" "Take off!" "$10!" No matter how much we shout these, it’s useless. What really matters. Is the project itself delivering results. The market will naturally respond. So now I’m quietly watching. The project team keeps working. I keep waiting. $CORE #今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #霍尔木兹通航谈判未果，美伊施压升级

Just saw someone say: "Is anyone still holding CORE?" I thought about it for a moment. Aren't you still farming CORE? Those who truly don't care at all probably wouldn't even click in here anymore. So I feel like this community still has quite a few veteran players. $CORE #今晚CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到

What I think is most outrageous about CORE now isn't how much it has dropped. I can even remember what I was thinking the first time I bought it. At that time: "Just hold it for a while and sell it." As a result, during this period. It's a bit long. Now, I have invested from the short term. Somehow, he became a long-term shareholder. $CORE #今晚CPI公布, will the pricing for a rate hike in September be rewritten? #财报观察员: AI infrastructure financial reports take the stage #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard

Just came across an old screenshot of CORE. The community was really lively back then. Looking at it now. It brings some feelings. But that's how the market is. When it's hot, everyone is around. When it's cold, only the ones who stay remain. Mostly familiar faces. Not sure if it will ever get lively again in the future. $CORE

I spent half a day browsing CORE today. I saw a bunch of bullish views. Also saw a bunch of bearish views. In the end, I realized. Everyone actually makes quite a bit of sense. The bulls think it has dropped too deeply. The bears think there must be a reason for such a big drop. I'm stuck in the middle, trapped. Now I don't want to argue with anyone. I'll keep watching the project. The outcome that’s meant to come will come sooner or later. $CORE #本周三CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 #新手必看：这里有你需要的一切

Today I suddenly came to understand something. I no longer need CORE to prove itself every day. You take your time doing your thing. I’ll slowly take mine. When it really takes off one day. I will naturally see it. If in the end it doesn’t take off. Then I’ll accept it too. Being stuck for so long. At least let me see the whole story through. $CORE #本周三CPI公布，9月加息定价会改写吗？ #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 #新手必看：这里有你需要的一切

Just checked the staking rewards. Gained a little bit more. Though not much. But watching the numbers slowly increase. It still feels somewhat comforting. The price changes every day. The amount, however, stays steady there. $CORE

Not adding to my position today for now. Lately, I've been buying a little bit intermittently. I'm not really trying to catch the absolute bottom. After all, those who can truly guess the bottom. I guess they won't be here with me trading $CORE now. Let's take it slow. $CORE
