>2016: trying to transfer old Computershare held stocks from the 1990s to my brokerage. Literally taking hours and days on the phone, notaries, filing for new stock physical certificates, updating name from marriage, etc. A maddening process that made me ask - why does it have to be this way? The process literally makes me want to kill myself
>later that year, get questioned for taking out "too much cash" from the bank, literally only $6k
>decide to explore alternative monetary networks. Buy some bitcoin
>2017: moons, I freak out and sell for a profit. Then it rockets way beyond. I FOMO
>2018: crypto dies, I sell everything thinking I was late
>2019: banks and brokerages still suck, wondering about btc again. Start a healthy stack before
>2020: Covid, I become wealthy for the first time in my life. Keep holding
>2026: everyone freaking out about the "death of crypto" once again. I hold and continue to stack more. My children now start to receive "gift stocks" from aunts and uncles via byzantine infrastructures that made me spiral out in fury
>I slap said relatives in the face and request BTC or silver coin instead
