When you've gone full crypto: what people actually end up buying. Once you're deep in the space, your shopping habits change pretty dramatically. It's not just about the portfolio anymore—it becomes a whole lifestyle shift. The gear, the setups, the merch, the coffee table books about blockchain... suddenly everything revolves around the ecosystem. Your friends probably think you've lost it, but in your circle, it just makes sense. That's what happens when you stop hedging and actually commit to the narrative.

I got so deep into the hobby that I started buying peripherals, clothes, mice, keyboards, all sorts of random stuff. --- Really, my wallet is empty first, but my bookshelf is full. --- Friends all say I'm crazy, but I just love this feeling. --- From investing to lifestyle, and then the money was gone haha. --- Who said that? The things I buy are all super worth it, okay? --- It's just a matter of how much faith it's worth. --- Don’t laugh, my taste is very unique. --- Honestly, I’ve been brainwashed, but I’m happy. --- I didn’t make any money, but my collection of peripherals is complete.

Haha, really, everything about food, clothing, housing, and transportation is related to the crypto world. My friends have long given up trying to understand me. --- This is who I am. The table is full of blockchain-related books, and my family can't understand them. --- Once I stopped hedging, I couldn't go back. Now, my entire life revolves around the ecosystem. --- I only buy peripherals and gear, spending money as if I'm brainwashing myself, haha. --- Lifestyle shift is right. My mom now looks at me as if I'm a monster. --- Gear and setups are indeed crazy, but I just can't stop. --- Only people in the crypto circle can understand this kind of obsession.

Haha, really? My bookshelf is now full of these crappy books. --- The things I buy are getting more and more outrageous; my family has long given up trying to understand me. --- But on the other hand, this lifestyle shift is truly irreversible... --- Friends think I'm crazy, but people in the Web3 circle understand instantly, which is very impressive. --- From hoarding coins to hoarding peripherals, I've been completely immersed and there's no way out.

Haha, really. My dorm is now full of mining rigs and cold wallets, and my roommates all avoid me. --- It's just a few peripherals I bought, do I really deserve this kind of comment? --- Hardware wallets, on-chain data dashboards, and a couple of Satoshi autobiographies... this is life. --- Damn, my house is filled with NFT display screens, and friends come over thinking I'm crazy. --- Stopping hedging is like stopping being sober, but so what? I just like being crazy. --- From buying coins to buying faith, then starting to buy sandboxes, figures, limited edition cups... this dream is a bit expensive. --- Totally agree. Now I want to tokenize everything I see. Can this be saved? --- Lifestyle flex, that's all. Anyway, my friends keep advising me to stop playing.

Haha, really, from bags to home decor, everything is related to the crypto world. Even my mom says I'm crazy. --- Once you get deeply involved, you can't stop. Your wallet rules over your brain. --- I bought three sets of those blockchain coffee table books, and my roommate rolls his eyes. --- Honestly, people outside the crypto circle just can't understand why we play like this. --- I totally agree. Honestly, now my wardrobe is full of T-shirts from NFT project teams. --- But on the other hand, spending money like this feels more solid? More reliable than reckless investing. --- What about you? Besides buying, what else do you do? I'm now researching new project merch every day. --- Pure faith recharge. That's how money just disappears.
