I’m genuinely sorry to hear all those things, Hodl.
I’m also feeling a sudden existential anxiety. I began part-timing & supplementing my income with Bitcoin this year, which is now only getting more expensive, when I had no doubt it would get less expensive.
I experienced a herniated disc which was the first time I’ve needed medical insurance in my whole life. Scary, and very long healing, but I’m now back to 80%, so no tears.
My wife is overwhelmed by her job as a teacher, so a few months ago I told her confidently “finish this year and you won’t have to work again”. God can laugh when I tell Him my plans, but not when I plan for my wife.
It’s hard not to consider how, when Fiat Institutions went full-on into Bitcoin, it seemed to begin coming apart at the seams.
Is it Bitcoin producing Old Testament-style “Tests of Faith”? Or are the Institutions playing us the sucker in a long-game?
These are questions only History will answer. Because none of us have figured them out yet, and we’re collectively smarter than the average Bear. I guess.
