 Why does anyone freak out over the price of bitcoin in relation to other shitty fiat currencies?

It's bitcoin. It goes up and down like a trampoline. That's its thing. The point is not to get off and cash out unless you are sick of having fun. 

This is supposed to be fun. Enjoy it.  
 Make fun of the price. Make fun of the hype. Make fun of the crashes. 

As an observer, I have no skin in the game, personally. I don't care how high or how low it goes. I just enjoy watching it because I enjoy watching the world freak out. And you know what?

It's going to keep going up and down and around in circles until it eventually does what it does. It's still cool.

It's cryptocurrency. It's not supposed to make sense.

It's just fun to watch.

How can you not enjoy that?
