I enjoyed reading this post. Like you, I started learning about cryptocurrencies in 2017. While, the experience was bittersweet, suffering my first loss due to greed. I must also admit, it left me with a lot of teaching. So, your final advice resonates strongly in my brain and heart: do not seek wealth for its own sake, but seek to improve the world around you and let it come to you for that purpose.
Thank you Eric for reminding me.
