We're living through an era where authenticity is becoming a luxury. Autotune erases vocal imperfection. Photoshop rewrites your appearance. AI upscales videos from low-res chaos into polished cinema. It generates entire scenes—moments that never happened, worlds that never existed. Struggling with words? ChatGPT spins a finished novel in minutes. The tools promised to democratize creation. Instead, they've flooded the market with hollow imitations. Real skill? Genuine craftsmanship? It's getting drowned out. The imposter syndrome isn't in your head anymore—it's systemic. Everyone's wondering if what they make still matters when a machine can do it in seconds.

Wow, that's why everything I see now looks fake...

No fear, the true craftsmanship, to put it simply, is a long-term bullish signal for the market. Currently smashing the market is just a good opportunity to buy the dip and add positions! --- All are rumors from the bears. Truly believing creators will never be defeated by AI. It's just like those who called for a crash last year; in the end, it still rebounded... --- Oh, these tools are just venting their emotions for those who haven't bottomed out yet. Once you break even, you'll understand that authenticity is the most valuable thing. --- Hold your full position and stay put. The premium for true craftsmanship will only increase. Now, fear is just a trick used by retail short-sellers. --- What do you mean by imposter syndrome? We who are bullish have seen through it. Every plunge is just a buildup before a breakthrough. Really, this is the last chance.

NGL, that's why I still insist on manually writing chain analysis... Machines can generate charts but can't provide real insights.

Basically, this is a market saturation issue, and every technological innovation in history has been like this. When printing was invented, some people said handwritten manuscripts would die out. And now? Truly valuable things are never afraid of machine competition; what they fear are those who lack genuine skills and knowledge from the start.

ngl, these days it's really getting out of control, everything can be AI-generated with one click. Does what I do still have any meaning...

To be honest, the competition is really intense now... Technology is supposed to help people, but instead it makes it harder for truly talented individuals to be recognized.
