For me, blockchain is part of my long term retirement strategy. I hold several different cryptocurrencies and have reinvested what I have earned here and elsewhere into other projects. My plan is simple, I am holding most of it until I am 67.

Over the years, I have watched the market rise and fall, so the ups and downs do not really worry me. Everything I initially invested in crypto was earned through my writing or from the time I spent running a witness, so it has always felt like building something from my own work rather than risking money I could not afford to lose.

I have also taken some profits along the way, cashed them out, and diversified into more traditional stocks. For me, it is about balance, long term thinking, and building retirement security in multiple ways. Since being self employed I do have a traditional 401K
