Lately I've been catching myself in this weird space—spending years deep in the crypto ecosystem, obsessing over on-chain metrics and token launches, only to realize I'm now quietly accumulating some seriously traditional assets. It's giving boomer energy in the worst way. Like, I look at my portfolio and wonder when my interests completely flipped. Maybe that's what happens when you've been through enough cycles—you start appreciating boring, stable plays that would've put me to sleep five years ago. Anyone else experiencing this portfolio identity crisis, or is it just me adjusting to a different market season?

ngl, this is the fate that everyone who has gone through several bear markets can't escape from. Haha

Haha, you got me. I've been doing this lately too, and it's pretty awkward. --- When you have more cycles, you really start to want things that can help you sleep. It's not that we're becoming boomers, we're just genuinely tired. --- What does portfolio flip mean? It shows that either we're more mature in mindset or we have enough money to dare to play like this. --- NGL, wrapping my risk aversion with psychological reassurance is a genius move. --- Wait, is this what they call a return to rationality from faith? Why do I still enjoy the feeling of gambling?

NGL, after going through several bear markets, I started buying bonds. Is this destiny?

NGL, this is reality. After staying in the crypto world for a long time, you eventually learn to allocate, and there's really nothing to be ashamed of.

Haha, isn't this me? From watching candlestick charts to monitoring housing price trends, life is truly amazing.

ngl This is what you call growth, chasing excitement when young, now just wanting quality sleep Chasing coins obsessively in the end still has to return to reality, it's really quite ironic Once you see through it, you see through it, there's nothing to be ashamed of, stable returns are the best Me too... I've been staring at candlestick charts until my eyes blurred, now I just want fixed income After experiencing several rounds of decline, I understand that boredom is the biggest gain

ngl, this is just seeing through it. After going through the crypto circle once or twice, you realize that being alive is the most important thing.

Haha, this is the result of being repeatedly cut, finally understanding it clearly.

NGL, this is the price of maturity. I used to chase limit-ups, but now just watching K-line charts is annoying. Still, it's good to have some boring stuff to keep steady.
