Coming out of retirement happens more often than you think. Not one in a million. I wasn't exactly retired a couple years ago, but then I was unemployed surviving on coins. Wasn't enough I guess.
IIRC, you played your cards really well (converted the altcoins into BTC at the peak) and ended with around 50BTC a couple of years ago. WTF did happen?
I didn't convert them all. That was the value if I had. So yeah .... right ... The alts were ... staking or getting rewards, and I lived off those rewards without eating into the principal, so in that sense I wasn't losing. But then everything crashed, so the alts weren't enough.
If I did convert it all, I would most likely still be unemployed today but it's a good thing I discovered all sorts of traditional financial investments because of that that I'd know better what to do next time and at least set aside some as a conservative investment in fiat, or as an emergency fund at least.
Other things happened in between, like exchanges literally dying as I was trading them, so lost some that way.
