You can't do "Two" things at the same time
One thing my dad always told me while growing up is that you can't do two things at the same time. At the time, I misconstrued the meaning to be an indictment of multitasking but as I got older, it got clearer.
I recall that in every situation he made that statement, I was trying to be and not to be at the same time. I was often trying to accomplish different tasks that required the same mental effort: for example, doing my homework and watching TV at the same time.
As a young man, I wanted to do everything and for the most part, I tried, but at the end of the day, you can only do so much in life. I learnt valuable lessons along the way, accepted that it is okay to have limitations and also learnt how to let go of certain things in life.
The most difficult part of the lot is learning to let go and even today, I still struggle with it. I grow attached to people, objects and even digital assets at my own peril sometimes, and that's something I've been training myself to fix.
The thing is, you actually can't do two things at the same time. You can't have it and let go at the same time.
As I got older, life got realer, I tried to find the right balance between all my activities and while it is possible to do different things at the same time, there will always be two or more things that will clash and at that point, you will have to make a tough choice.
I really hate making tough decisions but at the same time, I think I'm quite good at making them. Now, the quality of my decision-making can be questioned but there's little doubt about my speed of decision-making in tough situations.
Tough it out
My crypto journey has put me on a path where I have to make tough decisions on a regular basis. It is an unending cycle of decisions that starts with deciding what I want to write about or my choices to stake or unstake a token.
At the end of the day though, something has to be done. Even deciding not to do anything is a decision on its own and after making it, you have to live with the outcome.
In the crypto industry, try as you may but you always have to make a choice. You can diversify your portfolio all you want but at the end of the day, you have a moon bag that is your pride and joy.
If life gets in the way, you will have to liquidate your moon bag because what is a moon bag if you're too dead to enjoy the dividend? It is an annoying position to be in and that is what I'm facing today.
Temporary exit
I've postponed this decision for a long time but now, I have come to terms with my reality and it is that I will have to sell pretty much every single crypto I have to fund our relocation plans.
I have held out for as long as I can in hopes that the tides of the market will rise in my favour but it doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. That sucks because my assets have a lot of potentials to pump in a bull market but on the flip side, if the market persists in the bear zone much longer, I'll be able to accumulate the sold assets when we leave Nigeria.
Liquidating my portfolio is not what I want to do but it must be done to leave Nigeria. It is either one or the other; a very frustrating situation to be in and at the end of the day, I can't do two things at the same time.

Do what's the best mate. We all have to make sacrifices at some point to better our lives. I wish you and your family all the best. Cheers!
Its a very difficult decision to make but it is something that must be done
If liquidating them will help you to get a better life for yourself, then I think it is worth it.
Yeah, its easier said than done lol. I am extremely attached to my assets
If you can't do two things at the same time, can you guide me through the concept of multitasking again?
Oh, reading down, I think I get the angle you are coming from anyway
That's really what's on almost everyone's mind now, I really hope it works out perfectly for us all
Man leaving this country is the number one todo list of every young Nigeria with a vision, but then again the resource to leave is limited, i guess I will have too work hard to relocate cos right now am low on funds... Like you said we can't do two things at once so I will focus on grinding to stach up the funds so one won't be stranded while trying too leave.

I stopped stressing myself lately. I plan, work hard but it is only God that can bless without stress. Follow the right path bro. The Nigerian government is shit right now.
