If you were cashing out when coins hit 10x your investment I would venture a guess that you did way better than average. The person who mentored me taught me to do something similar and "free money" is a good way of looking at it.

I've been keeping a close eye on Gensler's and Warren's antics and believe we're in for a rough year ahead. I think the SEC is trying to bully all US-based exchanges into shutting down and then the banks will be poised to take their place as custodians of our crypto. After this, we'll get the regulatory clarity that we've all been hoping for, the big banks will make a windfall from a new revenue stream, and will cooperate fully with whatever the SEC demands of them. I hope I'm wrong.
