One of the biggest things weighing on me right now is the financial trade-off I’m making. I left a well-paying consulting job to build my stained glass business, and while I love the freedom and lifestyle, I’m only making about 20% of what I used to

I’ve been in Bitcoin since 2020 and have built a solid position, which gives me some peace of mind. But with how things are moving in the market, it feels like now is the time to be stacking and saving aggressively, and I just can’t do that while I’m growing my business

I believe in what I’m building,

I feel authentically myself, but it’s hard to ignore how big the opportunity cost is right now by not being in my old job

Would love to hear some perspective?

I think that chasing the better opportunity cost at all time is a form of shitcoining. This is the mindset people are in when they trade. When they chase the next big thing. The next coin.

"What if I sell today and buy back tomorrow?"

When it dump and pump again they think about the opportunity cost of holding instead of trading. At some point life is more than just finding the best and not optimal financial decisions.

Also, the opportunity cost of putting your business to the side you will only discover it in 20 years if you continue today.

With that said it's hard as fuck to make it through a craft like this and I 100% understand your feeling. I don't think their would be any shame to prioritize money today. Sometimes decisions have to be high time preffed. But would it really make you happier by making your life better or is it just the most optimal financial decision that wouldn't really better your life beside making number on screen higher?

I appreciate the thought. It’s hard to tell the impact of those numbers on the screen would have for future me
