Cryptocurrency News and Public Mining Pools

I deleted my seed phrase and sent it to my future me. Let’s see how this experiment goes.

That's it. From a start, I appreciated that crypto changed my life for the better (cut my alcohol, cigarettes, nonsense expenses), but recently I caught myself checking the market so much that it made me stressed, inevitable moving chunks of my portfolio and losing a bit here and there. Well, now I don't care about the market.

I put all my shitcoins and alt-coins into my cold wallet and destroyed, deleted, annihilated my seed phrase.

Before destroying my seed phrase, I wrote it down and send it. As a letter and an email. To myself, in the future, like goddamn Doc in Back to the future 2. I used three different services to be sure that at least one will come. 2 of them are via email, one of them via physical letter (you can change address in case of moving). Those services are operating for almost 20 years, so I kinda believe they will be around in 5 years.

In some cases, I dissolved that seed phrase in longer text, although even if someone would "steal" my seed phrase, they would not know from which wallet it is.

I set the date for exactly 5 years from now. So I will be able to move my portfolio not sooner than 15.8.2026.

Since I know I can't do anything about that, I deleted coinmarketcap, coingecko etc from my mobile phone.

Right now I am outside reading a book.

EDIT: I locked myself from an amount that I am willing to lose and can afford to lose/not be able to get when I need. I am doing this just as an experiment.
