Brothers, the group is open. No shouting for takeoff or zeroing out every day here. Those holding CORE can come in and chat. When the market is good, let's hype a bit together; when it's bad, let's complain together. Project news of CORE, on-chain data, staking status, and everyone's own holding thoughts can all be shared in the group. No requirement for you to be bullish or to hold. Question when you should, discuss when you should. Anyway, we're all old hands in the crypto circle, no one should pretend to be a guru. CORE guard squad, officially assembled. $CORE

Brothers, the factory just paid the wages yesterday, and I got a total of 6800 yuan in hand. Anyone who works away from home knows that the money earned is all hard-earned sweat money. After deducting the fixed few hundred yuan for cigarettes every month, and then the usual expenses like drinking water with coworkers, occasionally treating others, and daily small expenses, there’s basically not much left. Fortunately, the factory provides free meals and accommodation, so I don’t have to worry about food and housing costs. I’ve painstakingly saved money from every little bit, managed to gather 800 dollars, recharged directly via C2C, bought 26,000 CORE, and staked all of it on-chain with lock-up, not leaving a single cent, all solidified into chips. I’ve made up my mind that from now on, every month when I get paid, I will unfailingly invest 800 dollars in CORE. My coworkers around me and strangers online don’t understand at all; they mock and ridicule me every day. They say the market is so bad, this coin is weak and exhausting, everyone else has run away, but I’m still foolishly adding to my position, saying I’m just wasting effort and just taking the bag. Actually, no one really understands my situation. A long time ago, when the price was high, I heavily invested in 200,000 CORE, and I’ve been deeply trapped ever since. I’m numb to the floating loss, and my mindset has been worn down. Honestly, since I’m already stuck like this, losing one or two ten thousand chips more doesn’t really matter. Instead of breaking down mentally and cutting losses to admit defeat, wasting the hard-earned sweat money I saved from working, it’s better to invest regularly every month to lower the cost, slowly accumulate chips, quietly wait for the market to reverse, and bet on a chance to turn things around. Honestly, I’ve always felt quite wronged inside. Every time I sincerely post about CORE, talk about my holdings and views, the comment section is always full of people criticizing, cursing, and mocking me, saying I’m brainwashing, calling signals, or fooling people. But who knows, I’m actually the biggest victim myself. I’m also someone stuck at a high position, deeply trapped, I’ve lost a lot of money, I get anxious, I get upset, I have insomnia. I’ve never fooled anyone into buying high; I’m just sharing my own holdings and my own persistence. No matter what I post, it’s always cold sarcasm and harsh words, which is really disheartening. Many people open their mouths to trash-talk, saying CORE is a garbage coin. But they don’t even want to spend a minute to understand its underlying logic. CORE, as the core expansion infrastructure of the Bitcoin ecosystem, relies on Bitcoin’s top-level underlying security, while also supporting smart contracts. It is the core narrative target of the next bull market in the BTC ecosystem. Now the ecosystem is steadily landing, SatPay is counting down to launch, the on-chain burn mechanism is continuously operating, whales and institutional funds are quietly accumulating at low levels, and chips are becoming more and more concentrated. The current long-term sideways trading and repeated oscillations are not weakness at all; it’s a standard main force shakeout, washing out all unstable retail investors and all floating chips without faith, just for a thorough main rise explosion later. I work 12-hour shifts on the factory line every day, repeating the boring work day after day, exhausted with back pain, my hands full of calluses from hard work. I have no background, no resources, no shortcuts. The only chance I dare to bet on in this life is CORE. My coworkers advise me to cut losses early, haters keep spreading negative sentiment, everyone wants me to cut losses and hand over low-level chips. But I know very clearly: once I cut losses, I’ve truly lost completely. All previous losses, all persistence, all the sweat from monthly investments, will be wasted. I don’t follow short-term price swings, I’m not disturbed by outside noise, and I won’t let ridicule break my mindset. It’s already as hard as climbing to heaven for ordinary people to turn things around. Since I’m already in the game, I’ll fight to the end. Keep investing regularly at low levels, lock up and stake, quietly build strength, patiently wait for the bloom. I’m betting once, betting that CORE won’t let down every ordinary person who silently holds on, betting that every night shift I endure, every drop of sweat I shed, will finally earn back principal and interest, and completely break free from the assembly line life! $CORE #美伊协议基本谈妥，油价暴跌加密普涨 #加息重回讨论桌：沃什就任，年底加息正式定价

Because I bought CORE at a high price. My wife wants to divorce me. Brothers. I really can't hold on much longer. I initially bought 300,000 RMB worth of CORE at a high point. Back then, my mind was full of opportunities. I thought the BTC ecosystem had potential, and Core had a story ahead. I hoped that if this wave succeeded, the pressure at home would ease a lot. But it kept dropping all the way down. My account is almost zero now. I'm almost drained too. CORE, please be strong. Pull back up near $2, please. It's not that I want to argue with anyone. Nor do I need to prove how good I am at predicting. I just really want my family to catch a break. Haters laugh every day, and the comment section is full of criticism. They say I’m calling trades, that I’m a bag holder, that CORE is hopeless. I want to pretend I don’t care. But honestly, no one's money comes from thin air. Screenshots from when CORE was over $2. Back then, holding over 1,200 tokens was worth more than $2,700. Look at it now. It really feels awful. CORE, come on. Show some strength. Pull back to $2. Give the haters a hard slap in the face. And let people like me who are still holding on breathe a little. I’m not asking to get rich overnight. Just don’t let me lose too embarrassingly. Brothers holding CORE. If you’re still hanging in there. Let’s support each other in the comments. This road is really tough. $CORE #美伊拉锯倒计时：霍尔木兹30天内重开 #本周宏观三重奏：沃什首秀+美日利率双决议

Brothers, I think many people tend to overlook one thing when looking at CORE. CORE itself is the Gas, governance, and staking asset of the Core chain. In other words, on-chain transactions require CORE, network consensus requires CORE, and governance also uses CORE. Now with Dual Staking, BTC and CORE can participate in staking together. So CORE is at least not just a Token sitting on exchanges waiting for speculation. Whether it has value ultimately depends on whether this chain can generate real usage. But from a technical design perspective, CORE has indeed tied its Token to the entire network. This is also why I have always felt that CORE is worth continued observation. $CORE

Brothers, many people say every day that CORE has no ecosystem. I just checked the official ecosystem and found that quite a few things are actually running. Molten is doing DEX, Volta is doing perpetuals, Colend is doing lending, VaultLayer is doing BTC staking and Smart Vault, and Fiamma has even launched the BitVM2 BTC cross-chain bridge. These are not just "coming in the future" as stated on the roadmap. These are things that are really already live. Of course, having an ecosystem doesn’t necessarily mean the CORE price will do anything. But at least when discussing whether a project has something, you have to first see if anyone is actually using it on-chain. Otherwise, staring at the K-line every day to criticize the project is pretty pointless. $CORE

Guys, stop asking if CORE is still working on something. In fact, some things have already been implemented, but many people simply don't use them. For example, Colend on Core is already doing BTCFi lending; Molten is a dex already listed; VaultLayer is developing BTC staking and yield strategies; Volta is developing on-chain contracts; ASX Capital has also brought RWA assets into the Core ecosystem. Also, CORE's own BTC staking and dual staking are no longer concepts in the whitepaper and are already running on the mainnet. So now, when I look at CORE, I separate "things that have already launched" from "things that are planned to be made in the future." The roadmap can be explained gradually. But what has already started running at least can truly be opened and usable. In this regard, I think it's much more reliable than constantly shouting narratives $CORE

Brothers, sometimes I really envy those who hold BTC. When Bitcoin drops, everyone drops together. When it rises, the whole market knows. ETH can be frustrating at times, but at least the market is always talking about it. CORE is different; when it's quiet, it's really quiet, but when it moves suddenly, it can blow up the community. My most interesting state right now is that while others watch BTC and ETH for market trends, I watch CORE by looking at my own wallet. After all, this thing is something I've truly accumulated bit by bit with real money. $CORE

Brothers, I think many people are confused about this issue. This incident affected the validators' reward accounting and issuance, not the wallets of ordinary users being directly hacked. Core has also stated that user balances and staked assets were not affected. But that doesn't mean there is no impact. Because the market is most sensitive to confidence. If you tell me today "users' funds are not lost," of course, I feel a bit more reassured; but I still have to keep observing whether this chain can run stably in the future and whether the reward mechanism is thoroughly fixed. So I think CORE has now entered a very critical stage: The incident is over, and next it needs to prove itself. $CORE

Brothers, the biggest feeling I have about this CORE incident is: before, when I looked at public chains, I only looked at the price. Now I start to feel that what really determines whether a project can survive for many years is still the underlying stuff. This time, the vulnerability related to EIP-7702 was exploited, causing future rewards to be released early, and later most of the impact was handled through a hard fork. To put it simply, this time CORE paid a tuition fee. Whether the tuition fee is expensive or not is not the point; the key is whether they have learned their lesson after paying it. If in the future they can really build up security, BTCFi, and the ecosystem one by one, then this incident might just be a chapter in CORE's growth process. But if problems keep happening afterward, then that's another story. $CORE
