You're right, mate. I also think that it will be difficult for everybody to stop using bitcoin as a way to make money for themselves because many people wanted and dreamed to become rich and reach their goals in life. I know we have our decisions in life, but OP shouldn't be leaving in bitcoin about it because he could continue his intention in using bitcoin as a currency.
That is why I said that OP's reason is profound, nobody would just go and abandon something this important, OP might have reasons that we wouldn't be able to understand because we can't place ourselves into OP's shoes. You're right, maybe OP could've stayed but would you be able to do the same if you were to experience what OP was experiencing, again try putting yourself in OP's shoes to understand.
