There's a peculiar loyalty in crypto circles that mirrors traditional market psychology—unwavering support through volatile chapters. Some witnessed the Tesla production crisis firsthand, when bankruptcy rumors swirled and skeptics circled. Others held positions during the Twitter acquisition saga, watching shorts aggressively target the stock. Then came the DOGE-related incidents, with bizarre protests targeting vehicles.
What's fascinating isn't just the resilience, but the pattern. True believers in disruptive tech—whether EVs or decentralized currencies—tend to weather storms others can't stomach. They see temporary chaos as growing pains, not fatal flaws.
This mentality explains why certain crypto communities rally during FUD cycles while casual traders panic-sell. Conviction built through multiple crisis points creates diamond hands. The question is whether that loyalty stems from rational analysis or tribal identity. Markets reward the former, punish the latter—eventually.

The difference between a diamond hand and a rookie is so big... it's really about conviction vs. gambler's mentality

Diamond hands sound high-class, but isn't it just unwillingness to sell after losing too much... I'm just that kind of person, a classic example of bottom-fishing halfway up the mountain.

The difference between diamond hands and paper hands is faith and gambler mentality. Most people can't tell the difference...
---
True faith versus blindly following the trend. One makes money, the other takes the loss. It's that simple.
---
So in the end, you have to ask yourself: Do I really understand this project, or am I just banding together for warmth?
---
When FUD comes, look at the character. This is the true picture of the crypto circle.
---
What sounds good is diamond hands; what’s less nice is being trapped and still forcing yourself to hold on, haha.
---
Rational analysis versus tribal identity. This question hits the nail on the head. Most people are probably the latter.
---
The best time to see who truly believes and who is just gambling is during the bottom-fishing.
---
Haha, if I wasn’t trapped, I would have already run. Who still has the nerve to talk about faith?
---
Loyalty in the crypto world—call it ideals if you like, but if not, it’s mutual cope.
---
After going through several complete cycles, you’ll know who is a true believer and who is just here to make money.
