What’s the smartest way to use this bear market?

I invested in 2017, rode the high… and then rode it down into the bear market. I disappeared through 2018-2020 out of embarrassment and shame. Rarely checked crypto. But then in 2021, my bad decisions had become profitable again!

It was only then in the middle of the hype that I realized how much opportunity there was in those years I disappeared (not just DCA). But I missed all the defi airdrops… because I wasn’t playing around with any of the new tech.

What projects and areas of development are happening now that most people will regret missing in a couple of years?
