Once upon a time, there was a guy named Bob who just couldn’t understand Bitcoin. “So it’s like money?” he’d ask his friend Dave. “But it’s online and I can’t touch it?”
One day, Dave convinced Bob to buy a tiny bit of Bitcoin. Bob finally decided to invest, and the next day, he checked his wallet and saw that the price had doubled. “I’m rich!” he shouted, ready to quit his job and move to a tropical island.
The day after, he checked his wallet again. The price had dropped by 60%. Now, Bob felt like a financial genius turned broke overnight. “This is fine,” he muttered, trying to convince himself, while his phone pinged with another alert: Bitcoin down another 5%.
That night, he dreamt about his Bitcoin going up to a million…only to wake up and see it drop another 10%. And so, Bob became a hodler, holding on with diamond hands, because he figured if he waited long enough, he’d either strike it rich—or at least have a story to tell.
