Before the advent and the popularity of crypto virtually every assets had the control of second or third party, such as the government and banks, which means there is no full control over it.
Here is a technology in which you have been given the power to control your money without an external influence.
I see crypto as the power to financial freedom. Therefore, use it wisely and responsibly.
I believe this decentralise is one of the most important factor that attracts people to go into crypto. People want change especially the millennial population so in long term wise i think crypto price will only increase and not drop so do hold on to what you have.
