Rational optimism that calmly accepts the pessimistic reality and overcomes the harsh reality with a firm belief that things will get better in the future.
The Stockdale Paradox is different from vague optimism or self-deception that is unrealistic and distorts reality in that it is accompanied by a cool-headed perception of reality and a clear will to achieve goals.
Named after James Bond Stockdale, an American military officer who was a prisoner of war.
While James Bond Stockdale was a prisoner of war in Vietnam, he faced the harsh reality and survived, while his colleagues who were only optimistic about the situation without preparation died from the continued heartache.

BTC short-term SOPR, selling after reporting losses for #holders of less than 6 months] Short-term SOPR: This is an indicator showing the #profits and losses of short-term BTC investors (holders of less than 6 months). If it is above 1, short-term investors sell at a profit, and if it is below 1, they sell at a loss. The current short-term SOPR indicator value is 0.98. Therefore, it can be seen that holders of less than 6 months of BTC are selling at a loss. However, #BTC TC showed a pattern of whales and institutions accumulating the selling volume of short-term investors during the recovery and rising phases. Personally, I view the current period as the 'recovery phase' before the 'up rally' phase begins, and I think it is around July 2016 and December 2019. Even if a crash occurs in the asset market, we believe that the period will not be very long. Because of this risk, if we do not purchase and the stock rises, that is also a risk, so we are dividing it into installments and conducting #DCA.
