**macbudkowski.eth**: "At this point if you were turning up every day to these online communities to find meaning through online friendships and your newly formed digital identity, you had unknowingly become trapped by your emotional needs. You’ve become so indoctrinated into your investments that there’s no way you could sell off your holdings when they’ve become such an integral part of your identity. "

>>> Good point. It's similar to the mechanics of owning a Harley. If you own a bike, you can connect with other owners, start wearing clothes with the Harley Davidson logo, and so on. So the more you get involved in this community, the harder it is to sell your bike, as it's part of your identity.
