Really, once crypto traders switch to a new phone, life becomes unmanageable.

Just reinstalling apps can make you question your life. Wallets need to be imported, trading apps need to be logged in again, and market apps need to be installed all over again. Some apps require verifying identity through a bunch of files—keys, private keys, mnemonic phrases—all of which cannot be lost. The worst part is that some older versions of apps simply won't install, and you have to go to the official website to find the latest version.

Then comes the most tedious part—waiting for synchronization. On-chain assets, wallet balances, transaction history—all need to be reloaded. Sometimes, with poor network conditions, a single sync can take half a day. If two-factor authentication needs to be bound again, it’s even more frustrating, making you want to smash your phone in minutes.

Today, I’m dealing with all these issues. The configuration tasks for the new phone seem endless. But there’s no way around it; this is the daily life of crypto enthusiasts.
