Are normies just unable to handle the swings of crypto? Or are we just numb to temporary gains/losses? I've been thinking about it a lot, and could see this as a major hurdle for a lot of normie investors

I've got one friend that I managed to get into LINK with me. He's what I would describe as a stonks hobbyist, he goes for little swings with his lunch money and has many times sold when he was in money only buy back higher later. He was practically apoplectic the whole time LINK was running to $20, checking the price over and over, and kept asking me when to sell. I kept reminding him that he wouldn't time the market right, and would hate himself for selling too early or buying back too late. So he held. I thought he might be mad about it when we settled back down, but he just became numb to it like the rest of are. I watched it happen and it was a beautiful thing. Now he's stacking ETH and more LINK and barely even notices daily price action.

Normies cannot handle volatility *at all*.

That's why they love property - because when the market freezes up, you just can't sell - you don't really see number go down and you don't have the media flashing "number go down" in your face all day.

This is very useful if you're a central banker and you want to keep normies out of something - like, say, gold. It can go up as much as you want, but so long as there are horrific drawdowns on the way, normies won't touch it.
