ChatGPT’s Ode of Crypto Winter- courtesy of a prompt from our friend Derek Howard of William Mills Associates.    Crypto winter, a season of cold A time of loss, a time to behold The market shivers, the price grows old A chill in the air, a story yet untold   The investors huddle, their hopes grow thin As the value of their coins begin to dim But through the frost, a glimmer of hope A belief that the spring will eventually come, and the market will cope   So hold on tight, dear crypto believers For the winter may be long, but the spring will be sweeter The future is bright, the market will rise And our coins will thrive, and once again, surprise   So don't let the crypto winter get you down Hold on to your coins, don't let them drown For the spring will come, and the market will bloom And our crypto journey will resume.
