Reading your post totally took me back to my own journey, diving into crypto during those COVID lockdown days. I still vividly remember the moment I felt like the dumbest person alive—spending 12 hours slogging through Polkadot’s whitepaper and understanding nothing.
The market’s been a wild ride, up and down, and a ton of my friends bailed when Luna and FTX crashed. I got into crypto because of blockchain tech, and that’s why I’m still sticking around.
