I bought like 200 BTC back when it was $10 and ended up selling half of it when it hit $1000.

I liquidated the remaining ~90 BTC until 2018 when it was approaching $10,000.

I have no positions in crypto anymore. Lot of people are going to be caught holding the bag now. It's not common to hear somebody moving a big chunk of their savings in to this "digital gold". I am worried that this is going to result in a lot of broken dreams. Doubly more worried about people over leveraged in real estate.

Bitcoin is a poor storage of value and the cognitive dissonance is profound-the more they hype it as "digital gold" the more it deviates from that description.

I realized that Bitcoin, cryptocurrency is largely a vehicle for money laundering, in particular moving money out of China, Russia and other similar countries.
