There was alot in that post. Well done for sticking with it. I have been in crypto the same amount of time as you and like yourself I have had some major moments that if I stuck with the coin, I would be a millionaire now but I had to learn not to be bitter about it. The thing was I was getting in way too early and selling way too early but I learned my lesson. I came away from trading and now lead a less stressful crypto life in liquidity pools watching my coins increase rather than staring at a graph. I tend to keep my crypto life private from family and friends. They just wouldn't understand. My old fella is old generation and he wouldn't understand the whole concept of not working. It was instilled into him and I think your father has it in him also. They just don't understand it and never will. It's amazing the effect parents have on children when they reach adulthood. I have a 40 year old friend that won't come out of the closet until his dad passes away. So he is living a lie just to please him. Thank god you kept with your dream. It only takes one of these coins to hit and you won't need to work ever again. Great post but one thing I will say. Life is for living as well and sometimes we can get too deep into crypto that we are eating beans on toast because we deposited the funds into the next big coin. A balance needs to be had. I had to learn that myself and I'm in a happier place because of it. So now I only check my Blockfolio (FTX) every two days rather than every two hours :-D.
