#marketcorrection What’s really uncomfortable for many is not the price drop, but the exposure. As CZ once said, “If you cannot sleep at night, you probably took too much risk.” Judging by the reactions, a lot of people have not been sleeping well.

Let’s be honest. Many of the loudest voices calling this a crash were bullish influencers at the exact top. Arthur Hayes didn’t sugarcoat this behavior when he said, “Most people love leverage on the way up and blame the market on the way down.” That line hits harder during a correction because it points directly at accountability.

Another unpopular truth is that not every project deserves to survive a correction. Vitalik Buterin has openly stated, “Market downturns are when unsustainable projects get filtered out.” That filtering process is uncomfortable, especially for communities built more on hype than product.

What makes this correction spicy is the sudden shift in tone. Long-term conviction magically turns into short-term fear once charts turn red. Builders stay quiet. Speculators start tweeting. Binance Square is seeing both sides collide in real time.

Corrections do not expose weak markets. They expose weak narratives. If your thesis only works in a green candle environment, it was never a thesis to begin with.

This phase is not about predicting the bottom. It’s about recognizing who was overleveraged, who was overconfident, and who was quietly prepared. Market corrections have a way of rewriting reputations fast. Some people will call it unfair. Others will call it necessary. History usually sides with the latter.
