Joke or not, it was topic to debate because I know a good amount of peoples in my crypto circle who got in during the bull run and ended up buying ATH. And ironically I know minimum 5-6 guys personally as well who didn't take profits during the bull run at all and banging their head against the wall since last year. Stupid thing IMHO but shit happens.

Even someone who first learns about BTC when it is approaching it's ATH should understand the context.. whether they started to get in at $10k (when BTC had already done nearly 5x in 3months or 40x in 2 years) or closer to the nearly $20k top (when BTC had already done nearly 10x in 3months or 80x in 2 years). In some sense, I have more sympathy for the new person who would have been buying on the way up between $10k and $20k because the then price direction of the market is causing you to do the opposite of what you should be doing. On the other hand, I can relate more to the new person who starts to buy at nearly $20k because that was where I started in late 2013, when I started to buy at $1,200, and the price dropped for more than a year and stayed flat for another year thereafter.
I usually respect almost all trolls in this forum because they dedicate their all energy at only one cause (right or wrong depends on our perspective). This kind of dedication deserves some respect IMHO. some exceptions are always there, according to time or topic.
I would not devolve my opinion into "respecting" trolls because it can be a bit difficult to understand whether a disinformation passion is motivating them or if they are just being paid to appear as if they were a real person.
I am not going to assume that they are a real person, even if sometimes there are pretty strong signs that they could be.
I do understand a decent number of them to be a kind of necessary evil that cannot really be snuffed out, and likely we would not want to completely snuff them out either because of some aspects of human freedom (speech) sensibilities and from time to time, they do allow for airing of a variety of talking points including trying to understand and assess various BTC attack vectors... which is a kind of contribution in and of itself. .. .and sometimes there is a bit of humor in what trolls say, too.
