You shouldn't be, these cryptobros have been orchestrating general scams, rugpulls, hype scams, pump and dumps and all this having an effect on normal people's lives.

Do not be sorry.

The majority of people I know who are into crypto buy the hype and believe their own bullshit. The cynical opportunists seem to be a minority.

11 years now I fall into the category of people you are all collectively referring to as "crypto bros"

The only difference being I don't shill pyramid schemes on the internet for profit.

I kinda sit back and wait and take profit when it makes sense to me.

I certainly don't tell other people about it when I do it.

I wouldn't call you a crypto bro then. I've mined and traded Bitcoin for around the same amount of time, so I can say comfortably that those in our situation have seen the cycles, and are rarely surprised, boom or bust. The crypto bros are the hypers and pumpers, infused with plenty of cockiness based on their own confirmation bias.

Thanks for this

Until the money goes away, at which point it becomes as it always has been about getting rich and not about any of the ideals.
