taking into account that 500 years is a long time, them slowly dying will take a while. easy another 50 years.
One day, our grand children's grand children will be talking about this thread. Bitcoin celebrates it's 500th birthday. Its very long time and many changes can happen during this time but may be someone found this forum and then this thread for celebrations and found us in very early stage of this bitcoin many crazy things happened here. Diamonds are for ever they never die.

This is not unusual or a big thing. Saying it was on "two chains" is invalid as there is only one real chain.
It was technically a "block reorganization". Happens all the time. This one was just more significant than all the others, and people ran with the FUD over a trivial number of satoshi. Everything is retarded. Everything is frightened. People are just too frightened all the time. You don't need much to make a significant amount of them panic. Consider, this is happening in times of unprecedented security. Life was never as safe as today (confirmed by science and math). I guess the media and politics with their ongoing FUD are teaching people to be scared, and that makes them so easy to be manipulated. Kids are growing up overprotected, and so on. If you want the crowd to choose A, just make them fear B (and C...). If you want to escape this, you need to focus on calming down, for quite a while.

Not gonna happen. Everyone today is focused on one's personal little reality bubble one has set up on that little swiping device tethered to one's person 24/7. <swipe...swipe...>

Yes, but they may have also sold just to lock in some profits, not because of a false believe in a double spend. Don’t assume to quickly.
They sold at the bottom to lock in profits? I don't think so. They were spooked by something they didn't understand. Let the name Nextech go next to Mindrust on the no-coiner sell-at-the-bottom wall of shame.

may we change the unit ? https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1352625339944607744The idea that Bitcoin is scarce as there's only 21 million is nonsense. One #Bitcoin merely represents an arbitrary quantity of 100 million Satoshis. So, it's the total number of Satoshis that must be considered. With a supply of 2.1 quadrillion Satoshis are anything but scarce!

why was this reorg so important?
It wasn't important at all. Massive FUD overdrive yesterday. Stacked another ~0.15 BTC, so can't be too angry with how things worked out.

So, is it time to buy back in after panic selling at the bottom or do we wait another $2 - $3k? I've not sold a single sat

With a supply of about 600 nonillion atoms, gold is anything but scarce!
