Even I am not looking to grow rich...I just want to be in this space because I am passionate about it. It can be challenging in countries with Govt. regulations that are hostile towards crypto.

To avoid stress I feel its ok to think you will build wealth bit by bit over time and refine your stratergy towards the goal.

Truth be told, crypto are making people rich and they use their tactics, DEFI too...during a bear market or when prices have corrected I hear its better to have your cryptos earn you interest or passive income so actually your not losing money only, but making some amount of money as well, over time it would build wealth.

As for BTC, I am very aware of it being digital gold but have not seen it as anything more and was not aware that liquid and lightening scale it properly so it becomes resonable to use.

It's great to HODL btc...and your stratergy will earn you more and more BTCs which is good, over time you will have considerable wealth for sure...
