Its interesting, isn't it. I find it takes the sting out of going to work. Work used to be a grind; now its the activity that lets me pay the household bills and mortgage without having to sell any crypto.
Ironic that this is the closest I've ever come to retiring early, and I've almost completely stopped daydreaming about it, because I'm so grateful to be employed.
:) it has shifted the value and reason of why to work.
With what my wife and I are planning for the potential house and the inability to get a renovation loan despite being well under our potential for a max loan, I really hope that crypto can eventually help us complete it. Otherwise, we will just live rough for a while. That is okay, at least it will be on our terms.
