Here's What I Think About Crypto In 2026

Welcome to another article of mine.

In this episode I am going to tell you about how I stunned my financial portfolio with crypto. This article is not for financial advice, it's for information use only.

Crypto Ruined My life

This isn't your typical article from me, but this is how I've been feeling about my investment choices over the last 1.5 years, and I have been thinking about writing this blog since 2026 started.

So, If you have been following my blogs, you would know I discovered Bitcoin in 2010 (When I was in high school at the time) and found more interest in Bitcoin over the years as I got older and entered the real world of working.

You'll then remember how I started my crypto career in 2021. (Sorta) 

You'll understand why I say "Sorta" 

How I started My Crypto Career

See, during the start of my "Crypto career" we had just gotten out of the pandemic (I think.... if you read about how my life took a turn around those times you'll understand why everything feels fuzzy) so I was looking for a job, possibly an online job as I was getting ready to move countries and just the though of working from home was fascinating to me at the time. (Yeah... guess what, I've been working from home for the last 6 months) 

I kept on promoting projects that I thought would be the next best thing, each one always proved why "Bitcoin" was the only master and it still is... No matter how slow it moves, it's the only one where you money won't fade away (I wish I understood this at the time) 

Yeah, over the course of my crypto career I did get some bonuses for crypto meme project gigs and stuff but I lost more, I didn't even withdraw my crypto payments... so "Thanks" for paying me at the time to everyone that did... But I technically never got paid for promoting projects. The HODL lifestyle is a sham! 

I'd like to note, I did meet lots of wonderful people on the blockchain and I did get help, I'm not shunning any of that, this article is about my personal moves, and I still stand by my statement "Crypto ruined my life" 

How? You may be wondering. 

Well, you see, every profit I made from crypto, went straight back into crypto, every paycheck I got %90 went into crypto, after my bills so, %100 went into crypto, we got a little pump and I never withdrew. When devs paid me, I never withdrew, I just HODL'd OH and I'd love to say this, I did sell tokens some time and the dev that sent me the tokens called me out, so ... you can make a comment on that. Crypto literally stole my last few years... If I only invested in commodities, indexes or even FIAT believe it or not, I'd literally have a lot more money right now.

I ended up selling my last crypto around the beginning of Feb. I had the tokens staked (I'm not naming and even if I did, the whole markets dumping, so it doesn't make a difference) the value of my coins just kept dropping... so much for "staking" I earned around $20 as my bag lost $200-$500 ... You earn more from that investing in FIAT shares. 

The goal of mine when joining crypto was to get funds to help me settle, instead I just slaved away to the devs and their buddies on the blockchain. Because... the less money I had to trade with the more the circle online had... not sure what job they have or what they're even doing but, I wish them all the best.

I spent 5 years on the blockchain and have nothing to show for it. 

However, I am happy that I had an okay experience overall, I mean, I really wanted to give this a go and I did, I stuck my chin out even during my move from Australia to Turkey. From a million to 0. I literally started from the bottom when I moved and just recently, in 2026, when I started to transfer my investments from crypto to fiat, commodities and shares. I actually started to have more money at the end of each month. 

I will be giving you all an update on this topic alone in 6 months. However I will write another blog on what I will be doing now with my investments as this is a crypto, technology and news platforms. 

I think deep down everyone can see and knows the reality, but the majority of them don't want to accept it.

Conclusion

Thank you so much for reading another blog of mine.

I hope you understand where I'm coming from, I hope you understand my decision. This isn't a goodbye, this is a, I'm going to do what I should've done a long time ago but never did because I was hooked on an illusion.

Keep in touch and let's see who survives this inflation whawr!
