It's a hard decision but I did the same thing last year. I have 2 kids 7 & 5 and couldn't justify the games collecting dust on my shelves when I could sell them and put money towards bills/future. I sold all my gamecube games as well and started selling off other systems and games now too. I feel your pain. I wish I had held off selling until I was into cryptocurrencies because I'd do exactly what you're doing now. Sell and put it all into that. With the invention of the everdrive too it's hard to not just buy one of them and have all the games anyway...unless you're too much of a purist. I used to be against them but since I pick one up for the Turbo Grafx I can't say enough about them because I could've never afforded to have every Turbo Grafx game.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not selling all of my collection, but only trimming it to let go of something I'm not as passionate about. But starting a family does shift your priorities and I want to assure that my daughters (ages 3 and 1) have secure futures.
But I do plan to pick up an Everdrive 64 to fill the hole in my collection. I straddle the line between purist and rationalist -- and the Everdrive lets you play the games on the original hardware, so its a solid compromise between between the real deal and emulation.
That's exactly how I feel. I can't stand playing the games on computer or other systems but because I get to play them on the original system and have the original controllers etc I'm a big fan.
