So we are firmly in Stage 4 of the markets dropping.

Stage 1: People refer to a large, sudden, and unexplainable drop in price as a 'correction', anyone referring to it as a crash gets shunned.

Stage 2: People start responding to any question with 'just don't look at the charts all the time' and get offended when people want to talk about crypto on a crypto subreddit.

Stage 3: Some people start using the word crash without being downvoted while others are confident that it will be going back up soon.

Stage 4: People are now confident that it will definitely be going lower and will always go lower, the crypto dream is dead and so is the stock market. Everything is ruined. Other times the market has gone down get referenced constantly. The phrase 'crypto winter' starts being repeated frequently.

Stage 5: EVERY question gets answered with 'we don't know shit about fuck'. Some people start commenting 'go outside and touch grass' to every post no matter the context.

Final Boss Stage: The suicide hotline number gets posted.
