I wasted years of my life in crypto

I’d hesitate to say it’s wasted. Aren’t these some of the most complex, electronic, decentralized systems in human history? That skillset is going to be more and more important the more and more computers there are.

Statements about "I wasted years doing X" are almost always overblown. The more realistic take is "I didn't get the ROI I wanted in specific area X."

There are more phone calls in a day, but orders of magnitude, than Bitcoin transactions. So, no, they aren't even close.

Sounds like the author may have "lost their religion" though.
