I have started from the scratch more then once. For me this is one of the few things i actually know something about, and i feel i have invested too much time in bitcoin so that i could throw it away. Knowledge is power and with power you can get money. It's a saying with literacy: write what you know. Same things goes with most of the knowledge. If you have become expert in something, you can and should monetize it.

Sure, one can go back doing something else they are good at, but imho i see it as an edge that i even know something about bitcoin. Why would i throw that away and bother to learn something completely new to monetize, just because i lost my btc from time to time.
