 THE 7 STAGES OF BEING A BITCOINER

1. Shock and Denial
    
 Bitcoin: "Wait, how can a digital currency actually be real money? This must be a fad."
    
2. Pain and Guilt
    
Bitcoin: "Why didn’t I buy it earlier? How could I have ignored it when it was under £1,000? Now it's too late…"
    
3. Anger and Bargaining
    
 Bitcoin: "The government! The banks! Why don't they just adopt Bitcoin already?! Maybe if I sell a bit now, I'll feel better."
    
4. Depression
    
Bitcoin: "The price crashed again… Why do I even bother checking my portfolio?"
    
5. The Upward Turn
    
Bitcoin: "Hey, the price is stabilizing. HODL was a good move after all!"
    
6. Reconstruction and Working Through
    
Bitcoin: "Okay, I’m going to learn more about blockchain tech, maybe even start using Lightning Network for transactions. I get it now."
    
7. Acceptance and Hope
    
 Bitcoin: "Bitcoin is inevitable. I’ll ride out the waves. In the long run, it’s the future of money."
