You: “Um well, it was such an uncertain time the summer of 2021.”

Whether markets go up or down, I focus on a few things.
1. Stay long crypto (ie ETH)
2. Earn passive income on long term holds, with DeFi
3. Earn enough yield to never sell my long term holds
4. Never bet more than I'm willing to lose on a single token/protocol
Keep it simple.

Important rule of thumb: if a network, app, or tool (ie website) can be shut off, that thing is not decentralized.
In DeFi, we have decentralized protocols running on a decentralized Ethereum, not possible to shut off, but a related popular website may run on centralized infra.

Well said, Rep. Emmer. Another way to explain it:
