Retail traders when the market dips: pure frustration 😤

Wallets moving eight figures though? Radio silence.

What's the real difference—is it conviction, deeper pockets, or just better emotional control? 🤔

Basically, it's the difference between being able to afford the loss and not. For those with eight-figure sums, losing doesn't hurt, but for us, it's our hard-earned money.

NGL, big players are masters of pretending to be dead, and we retail investors can only end up crying.

Brothers, it's all mental preparation. Retail investors are panicking and shouting because they lack confidence.

Basically, it's just having money without pressure. A big account with eight figures losing a few hundred thousand is like nothing, while we would be heartbroken over losing a thousand or so.

Bro, isn't this just the difference between retail investors and big players? They can lose eight figures and only drop ten percent, it doesn't hurt at all. But when we lose two thousand bucks, we have to smash the keyboard.

Bro, I think big investors just treat their money like paper and burn it. If it drops, it drops. Every dollar we retail investors have is hard-earned money...
