I’d look into replacing the lock with something you can’t stick a screwdriver into to open it

1. Massive exchanges - you’re free not to use one, there are so many ways to get around using the biggest

2. Massive speculation - the established cryptos (btc, eth) are alright in that regard nowadays, still far from stocks of course, but it’s gonna get better over time

3. Money laundering - there have been countless reports that cash is used for the absolute majority of money laundering, not crypto

4. Ponzi schemes - they exist everywhere, and it’s not that hard to not fall for one, just stick to btc and eth

5. GPU shortages - growing pains, has largely been fixed, shouldn’t happen again

You’re just picking out the worst points you can, I suggest you look at things more objectively, life’s better that way

• Attending an event (festivalor convention)
• Long journey, such as a cross-country trip (probably this one, as OP mentioned walking+travelling by train)
• Reality TV Show / film
