I'm leaving cryptoart scene not because of the market situation. I was kicking even when ETH was down to $900 and there were 0 sales for 2 months. The reason is bad circumstances (relative death), I spent ~$3k of savings because of that. When that happened, I had already been working on my new art project (PR0T0TACHI base generative collection) for 2 months. I launched a promo here 2 days after the funeral. The project failed to get any attention. At that moment I was splitting my life between my daily job (construction) and art at night for 2 months and was lacking sleep hard. Right now I'm selling my main tool (MacBook) to get money back for meds and other things I'm lacking. It'll take me 7 to 8 months to get a new computer for work. This is life, it often makes choices for us that we cannot negotiate. Everything went downhill since the moment I had a stroke, but I wasn't giving up on things, I was doing my best. At this moment I'm tired af, broke, and depressed. I'm gonna have PTSD over this.

take some time to recover and heal. it sounds like u are under a lot of stress and chaos and uncertainty make things even worse. u don't have to justify needing to step away. i don't think anyone will blame u for taking care of your immediate needs and health first

i think ppl just want to be encouraging. i'd be happy to see u keep making art as well but it's understandable that doing so introduces a lot of uncertainty and pressure and it's hard to do when other parts of life are unstable

They do, and that's appreciated, but I have to let them know it's not just a decision based on emotions or something like that.
