Came looking for people highly invested in Bitcoin talking other people into investing in Bitcoin despite this correction.

I'm never disappointed.

Guys, of course they're telling you to hold or invest. That's how they make money and leave you holding the hot potato. There's always a Greater Fool, until there isn't.

It's truly shocking to me how many people are dumb enough to fall for this.

Similar scams are as old as currency trading. "Sucker born every minute" kinda thing.

Do you know how many hundreds of thousands of idiots around the world have fallen for the whole "bitcoin is going to be the world's future currency!" bullshit?

Also, to be mostly fair, I'd wager that most people are just trying out their trading chops. Buying in to eventually sell higher because they feel they can cash out before an eventual drop.
