Guys, the factory just paid out their salaries yesterday, and I got a total of 6,800 yuan. Anyone out working knows that all the money earned is hard-earned money. After deducting the fixed monthly cigarette cost of several hundred yuan, and after subtracting drinking water with coworkers, occasional treats, and daily miscellaneous expenses, there's basically nothing left. Fortunately, the factory provided food and lodging, so I didn't have to worry about food and lodging expenses. I managed to save money through mere gritted teeth, scraped together $800, and directly recharged on C2C, buying 26,000 CORE, pledged everything on-chain, and locked it up, keeping no cent and depositing it all into chips. I've made up my mind that from now on, every month I'll pay a fixed investment of $800 in CORE. My coworkers and strangers online couldn't understand and mocked me every day. People say the market is so bad, this coin is exhausting and weak. Everyone else has left, yet I'm still foolishly adding to my position, saying my efforts were wasted and I just bought in. Honestly, no one really understands my situation. Back when I was at the peak, I heavily invested 200,000 CORE, deeply trapped, and had long since lost the floating losses, my mindset was worn down. Honestly, with everything already set up like this, these ten or twenty thousand chips really don't matter. Rather than losing your hard-earned money in a state of collapse, cutting losses, and losing your hard-earned money, it's better to invest monthly at a low cost, slowly build up your chips, and quietly wait for the market to reverse, betting on a chance to turn things around. To be honest, I've always felt quite wronged. Every time I sincerely post some CORE threads and share my holdings and opinions, the comment section is always flooded with people criticizing, cursing, and mocking me, accusing me of brainwashing, selling orders, and fooling people. But who would have known that I was the biggest victim myself. I'm also someone who stands guard at a high level, deeply trapped. I've lost a lot of money, and I feel anxious, upset, and can't sleep. I have never tricked anyone into buying at high prices; I am simply sharing my own holdings and my own persistence. But no matter what I post, it's always sarcasm and harsh words—it's really disheartening. Many people immediately criticize CORE, calling it junk coins. But they simply refuse to spend a minute understanding its underlying logic. As the core scaling infrastructure of the Bitcoin ecosystem, CORE relies on Bitcoin's top-level underlying security and compatibility with smart contracts, making it the core narrative target for the next bull market BTC ecosystem. Now, with the ecosystem steadily taking root and SatPay counting down to launch, the on-chain burn mechanism continues to operate, whales and institutional funds are quietly accumulating at low levels, and shares are becoming increasingly concentrated. The current long-term sideways movement and repeated oscillating grinding are either weakening or typical main force shakeouts, washing away all mentally unstable retail investors and all floating chips without faith, all for a thorough main rally to explode. I worked 12 hours a day on the assembly line in the factory, repeating monotonous work day after day, exhausted to the point of back pain, and my hands covered in calluses from hard work. I have no background, no resources, no shortcuts. The only chance I dare to gamble on in my life is CORE. My coworkers advised me to cut my losses early, but haters kept stirring up the narrative and selling shorts. Everyone wanted me to sell my shares at a low price. But I knew very well: if I cut my losses, I would truly lose completely. All previous losses, all the persistence, all the hard-earned monthly investments were all wasted. I don't follow short-term price swings, nor am I disturbed by outside noise, nor am I discouraged by ridicule that breaks my mindset. For ordinary people, turning things around is already as hard as climbing to the sky. Since I'm already caught in the game, I'll fight to the end. Sustained regular investment at low levels and locked positions and pledges, quietly gathering strength and waiting for the flowers to bloom. I'm betting just once—betting that CORE won't let down every ordinary person who quietly perseveres. I bet that every night shift and every drop of sweat I shed will eventually earn it back with interest, completely freeing myself from the assembly line routine! $CORE #美伊协议基本谈妥, oil prices plunge and crypto rally across the board. #加息重回讨论桌: Wash takes office, year-end rate hike officially priced in

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

It's early morning. Took a glance at the market, it's down. Then looked at CORE. Sure enough, it's the same old story. When the market falls, it falls along; when the market rises, it has nothing to do. This round of "following the drop but not the rise" has been figured out by it. Forget it, it's this late anyway, no point in fighting it. Going to sleep first, will see what it's up to when I wake up tomorrow. $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

After getting CORE. I realized a truth. Don't easily predict the bottom. Don't easily predict the top. Don't easily believe in "insider information." Don't chase a coin just because it skyrockets. Most importantly: Don't put all the money you have left into it. This is experience I gained with real money. $CORE #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

To be honest. CORE's current popularity is indeed much lower than before. There's no need to be stubborn about it. It used to be easy to see posts everywhere. Now sometimes you can scroll for a long time and barely see a few. But I think this isn't necessarily all bad. What really catches my attention is whether the project is still moving forward. Market hype can come back. But if the project stops, that's the real trouble. So I'll wait and see what happens next. $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

I’ve realized I have a habit now. Whenever someone says something bad about CORE. I go check the official website. When someone says it will be delisted. I check the exchanges. When someone says the project ran away. I check on-chain data. I don’t know when it started. But I’ve developed the habit of verifying things myself. At least it’s better than just following the comment section. $CORE

No more stubbornness. The spot position is already deeply stuck. Today I directly opened some short positions for risk hedging; even if it falls further, I accept it. I used to think about averaging down when it dropped, but now I prioritize survival first when it falls. I hope the short positions can make some profit to stop the bleeding on the spot holdings. If it keeps falling like this, I'm really afraid it will go to zero. $CORE

Brothers. I can no longer tell if I hold CORE, or if CORE holds me. I used to panic a little when it dropped, thinking to run away quickly. Now when it drops, my first reaction is: “Oh, here we go again.” This might be the highest state after being trapped for so long. It's not that I'm not afraid. It's that I've gotten used to it. $CORE

Just took a glance at the overall market. Then looked at CORE. Still the same familiar feeling. Now I'm too lazy to argue with it. It will naturally rise when it's supposed to. When it doesn't rise. No matter how much I say, it's useless. I'll focus on handling my own matters first. $CORE

Brothers. Right now, I feel like CORE is the most frustrating. Maybe it's not the drop. But when it rises, it doesn't have much momentum. It barely pumps a bit. Everyone gets excited at first. But soon after, it crashes back down. So now when I see it go up, my first reaction isn't: "It's taking off." But rather: "How long can it hold this time?" $CORE

CORE at this price now. What troubles me the most is not how much it has dropped. But whether there is anything to support it to rise again. If the project continues. The ecosystem slowly changes. On-chain data can also gradually recover. Then this current position. At least worth continuing to observe. But if there is nothing afterward. Then a 99% drop is not a talisman. This point still has to be acknowledged. $CORE

I don't have anything special to say recently. Just feel that. The market is so big. There definitely won't be only one opportunity. So there's no need to prove every day that CORE is definitely right. If you are optimistic, hold on. If not, leave. Everyone is responsible for their own choices. This is actually quite fair. $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
