You don't "stop" being a citizen. Part of the process to apply for citizenship is education about what becoming a citizen means through the civics test, and it should be very clear to you that this is not meant to be just a convenient thing that you do as a formality.

Citizenship comes with rights but also duties, if you are not willing to accept the duties that comes with it, you should not become a citizen and you should instead renew your green card.

Renouncing your US citizenship isn't a stop?

And I was saying you don't stop being a citizen by moving somewhere else.

Citizenship is not something you can (or should be able to) just turn on and off at your convenience.
