So for any of you panicky paper-hands who need to get talked down from selling.

This is what playing dirty looks like - welcome to the real Wall Street. They want to send a message to scare off enough people by mimicking a crash through intentional sales that trigger freezes.

Log out, get some fresh air, come back later. Lots of good DD on wsb and discord. HOLD is FUN!
