This is hard problem to get symptom for: I have a lot of cryptocurrency doing "very well" and I've been cashing out some, but been really stressed and nervous about the entire thing. It used to be a fun little side project, but now I'm dealing with some "serious" money and hard decisions to make.

I guess the biggest problem, is that almost everytime I sale, it goes up within a week. Lots of regret for not holding on to longer, but at the same time, holding is really stressful. I get most stressed out when it goes up. Oddly, I feel more calm when it corrects and drops a bit.

Secondary problem is where to put these gains? I don't want to put in the stock market. I'd hate to cash out these gains only to loose them in stocks. My retirement accounts are 100% equity so already have tons of exposure.

Last problem is taxes. I have a ton of computer files and data to sort though. I want to do the right thing, but it's really confusing since I did a lot of trades and mining and things like that (spanning over last 4 years). I have a great accountant, but still is a lot of work. I guess I can put this off till March of next year, so not pressing, but it does add stress.
