Replying to Mindaugas

Ojalá. I am dying to drop my bullshit job in financial industry. For decades I have been pretending to work here, "earning" not too bad fiat while not producing absolutelly nothing useful to anybody.

At first for the still younger me money for nothing seemed amusing, but only until I realized that this is actually the only way to stay relatively out of the slavery. It is sickening.

I do want to be "rich" already. Drop all this nonesense, start doing something meaningful for the clients I choose myself, no matter if they are not able to compensate me adequatelly in the beginning.

And hopefully, there will be others like me, and I will also be able to quit using all this stuff produced by slave workforce, especially from certain countries in Asia and Africa.

It is a difficult choice people have to make, choosing a career that either benefits society at large, or just themselves and their families. I haven't worked for anyone for 15 years, and I am probably unemployable at this point.

We consume way too many things we don't need. I've been scaling back, and this year I plan to sell the majority of things I don't use or need, or simply give them away to those who could use them.

The best time to start a business, even on the side, is right now. I start my one company in 2009, and within a year, I quit my job and it's been my daily interest ever since.

In terms of small businesses, things are worse here. People as clients cannot afford to pay even the cost even if I am not taking any salary and any profit. Just paying honestly the vendors and employees, and being open about the quality of my goods and services to the clients. I ran a couple of my own businesses too, but every time ended up servicing only the international corporate clients, because no one else can or choose to afford it. Selling asian stuff, or defrauding your vendors or clients, or surviving on government subsidies is the only viable small business model here if you want to service normal people. That includes even restaurants, unless you want to live literally on the margin of poverty or do fraud.

So. I need to be rich on bitcoin, start with some partially charitable business while trying to create a community of circular market.

Besides I am not big on charities. I don't know where I got this from, but I am incapable of helping anybody who does not appreciate it, does not respect me, and does not feel the need to return the favor to me and the world.
