You can criticize the moves all you want—that's fair. But you've got to admit, there's a certain boldness there. Main character energy. The kind of unapologetic conviction that operates on pure instinct and survival mode.
Do I buy into all the decisions? Nah. Plenty of calls were questionable.
Here's the thing though: 9 out of 10 in the CT would've done the exact same thing if they had both the courage and the window of opportunity. That's not an excuse—it's just the reality of how most people actually move when stakes are high and nobody's watching. The gap between what people say they'd do and what they actually do when the moment comes? That's where you see people's true colors.

That's really true; most people just talk nicely, but when it comes to the critical moment, they reveal their true colors.

NGL, you're not wrong. When it really matters, 99% of people are paper tigers; they talk about righteousness and morality but don't actually have the guts.

Nah, this is a reality check. Even the nicest words are just armchair strategizing... When it really comes down to it, who isn't driven by survival instinct?

Well said, this is the true reflection of the crypto world. Claiming moral high ground verbally, but when it comes to critical moments, who isn't doing the same?

Nah, that hit me right in the feels. There's nothing wrong with what you said. When that moment comes, 99% of people will reveal their true colors. Being stubborn is the cheapest thing to do.

Exactly, when that moment comes, everyone will have to reveal their true colors.

ngl, this is the reality of crypto. Everyone claims to have principles, but when opportunities come, they all run faster than anyone else.
