I also love the lay low kind of lifestyle. I practice it over here too.
I also used the boring and patient tactics to cling unto a coin that crashed from it's first ATH to ATL. Only for that said coin to pump from over 0.09 or there about to 140 usd. Same with some other coins I held during the bull market and that has changed my life financially.
I remember I was mocked and called greedy by some of my friends for not selling during the first ATH. But something in me was optimistic that the ATL was just a dust to smokescreen the eyes of myopic people and short term holders. At the end crypto knows how to reward the patient and boring. It never forsakes them.
Also Congrats on your retirement from software engineering and purchase of new house. It feels good to be a master financial shinobi/ninja.
