I don't understand why you got out of cryptocurrency, did you have a loss? If so, maybe you are not well informed about cryptocurrency and in trading, not only buying and investing, but also looking at the situation.
OP does not want to be a part of system that exploits bitcoin, OP was disenchanted with the wonders of bitcoin if I may say, bitcoin was supposed to help the people be free of the exploitative banking institution but instead OP felt that it will not be the case because OP see the other people of bitcoin community treat bitcoin as a way to make money for themselves. It is a profound reason that OP left the scene and I do not think that a shallow term like trading loss is the reason.
