I believe he needs to see it differently. He should consider many things, including the fact that BTC is still very expensive. It's so high right now, and there are still many opportunities to earn in it. I hope this changes his mind because the cryptocurrency space still has things to offer.
When someone who has experience in crypto for more than 10 years, I am sure he has a lot of experience and must have a lot of Bitcoin. I think he just needs a short break to enjoy his life from the Bitcoin he has, for example a vacation to Dubai, Thailand, Maldives or other exotic countries.
He complained that it must be different from the way he got Bitcoin from 10 years ago and now, if it was considered very easy to get Bitcoin a day 2 BTC, maybe now 0.0002 BTC is also difficult in a week.
OP, it's time to enjoy life with the Bitcoin he has and enjoy the current reality in the crypto world like this.
