So to sum up, crypto does this shit all the time. I will say this one was one of the worst, but it's far from the first. And I guarantee it won't be the last. Every single one will be different, for different reasons. Different things will break. Your exchange may break. /5

Your chart data may break. You may fat finger. You may not know what's going on. Keeping calm and executing your trades with intent and putting emotion aside is the most important thing. Everyone handles it differently, you're going to have to find your own way. /6

But some of you will get it. Many already have. Especially if you've seen this movie play out time, and time, and time again.

Cheers ya'll. Stay safe, don't get on airplanes or cruises for the next couple months. And wash your hands.
