Isn't it simply a distraction to avoid thinking about loneliness?
Yes, it is. It's one of the most pessimistic thought to creep inside human mind. I never have it because I'm too busy to think about it. When I was working, I used to live alone. For sometime, when this thought crept, I came to live permanently with my family. We all live together and there's always someone to talk to, so the thought doesn't creep.

Once you take a peak inside it, you have to decide if you want to deep into it or avoid it at all cost. Both strategies are detrimental if you're not able to deal with reality. I guess you found the right balance there, good for you.

I'm fortunate to live under Indian tradition of joint family.

Some might find that a very rigid/traditional context with little freedom of choice.

Yeppa that's very true. I surf SN anonimously just because I'm too embarassed to post this kind of questions, posts, comments with my real nickname.

I tend to not label myself simply as bitcoiner because I want to avoid the trap of thinking I'm special. I'm not special, nobody is. We are naked apes struggling with Nature, being Nature a bad neighbourhood, the Inflation or the lack of a loved one.
I'm okay with a transitionary period of acceptance of loneliness as a...transitionary state.
But if you project time long enough, there's no happiness in loneliness, not even in billionaires. To me, Bitcoin solves the monetary problem, the other issues have to be taken care of with other tools.
