Out of curiosity, did you start a software company, or work at them?
My fiat job is completely soul crushing and trying to find my way out.

Can't say too much without doxxing, but I founded multiple startups and worked at many tech cos at different stages (early to IPO).
Nice! Glad you were smart enough to get out of the game once you got far enough. Too many keep going after securing their finances forever imo.
From day 1 I treated my career in software like that of a professional athlete. I knew it would be hard on my mentally and physically, and so I made big moves and took the right risks, always planning to be done in less than 20 years. That was the bet, and it worked.
I have tried a similar mentality. Worked at a hyper growth startup for 4 years, accumulated tons of options. Then, the market shifted, the VCs were smelling blood, and the company got gutted. It’s a hard game 😅
I’m hoping to bootstrap my own SaaS company that is moderately profitable and put ₿ on the balance sheet. I’m sick of playing other people’s games.
