I've stopped understanding crypto. I never managed to use it enough to get the hang of wallets, addresses, sending, receiving, etc. I don't even grasp the common lingo anymore (I think "moon" was the last crypto term I learned, and I find they're all just new and dumber ways of saying the same stuff). But reading articles now is hard for me. It's like they're not in my language anymore. I guess my brain is aging, at the same time as all this is getting more complicated, and at some point it became less relevant to me. Also, I don't have real life friends into it to discuss it with and learn from. Nor do I have any time when I'm online to be chatting, and meeting people who use crypto. I'm alone in this and considering how the world is becoming that doesn't appear about to change. I think once BTC breaks to new highs this quarter I'm going to retire (undefeated) with my long term predictions.
Anyway it's nothing personal and I still enjoyed your post.
