Has Crypto changed your outlook?

Hi all,

Has crypto changed your general outlook to finances, and also life in general?

For me I have seen more value in managing my own security and taking the reasonability into my own hands. Forced by my cold wallet and creating safe backups for those wallets. While there is a load more responsibility I find it comforting that the security is down to me. I have now moved away from cloud storage services in general and onto my own network attached storage. It is more work but having the responsibility mainly lie with myself and the data in my own possession has been oddly rewarding.

I certainly do not have financial freedom. But I certainly have a heightened interest in my finances. After going through many complex transactions in crypto the idea of changing bank to a better interest rate or benefit is not daunting at all. I feel much happier to put a little work in to benefit myself. I used to just leave everything as it was, couldn't be bothered.

Interested to hear if any others feel they have changed their outlook/behaviour and think some of that could be contributed to their involvement in Crypto now?
