For the big shots, pushing it up is just pocket money for them. Six months is a long time in the crypto world. Could you have imagined this mess just a month ago? For the big shots, if they lose pocket money, it's just lost. But if I lose the little I've worked hard to earn, I can't afford to take that hit.
