Think of Bitcoin as being like an airplane pilot. 99.9% is pretty easy and boring. The handful of really nasty bad weather approaches one undertakes over the course of a career is where you earn your money. You don't need to 'grease it on'...just get the thing safely on the ground.
I find flying to be neither easy nor boring
You probably don't do it for a living. I don't, but a fair fraction of my immediate family does. Whether by accident or design the monotony ratio was improved by being bush pilots in Alaska where it is pretty common to be force to fly a hundred feet off the ocean and land on a beach in order to pick up or drop off the passengers or cargo.
I fly rarely enough that it is still fun but never did finish my license. Maybe if Bitcoin pops again and I finish up my several years worth of projects I'm busy with. My dad used to let me fly while he took a nap and I actually almost crashed the thing when I was about 12 or 13. In terms of a career, I joke with said family that I consider it to be basically a glorified taxi driver but in fact it does require a fair bit of skill and judgement. OTOH, so does being a taxi driver in a lot of places I suppose.
