now its the activity that lets me pay the household bills and mortgage without having to sell any crypto.
:) 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.
