Awesome. Now your only job is to not sell it.
Don't sell it when it gets low and you are afraid of losing more.
Don't sell it when it goes to thousands and you think it can't possibly go higher.
Pay attention to r/Superstonk. That is the only good way to make an informed decision. (Though I am sure we will talk about it here too.)
Now its time to Hold On for Dear Life (HODL!)
It may be one of the hardest things you'll ever do, because at each stage emotion will want to do something.
Don't worry though, after a while you become immune to fluctuations of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars (or possibly in the near future, hundreds of thousands or millions (which some people already experience)).
At some point, after reading all the info, you start trusting The Plan. Then it becomes a game, where you get the high score by HODLing the longest, and the reward is saving the world from the Cabal (plus the inconsequential millionaire title).

It may have started similarly to "deplorables". It certainly promotes a similar self-deprecating honor.
ok, gotcha. I figured it was self deprecating
