lol…he’s a smart dude. Never met him. I’m still fiat mining and he helped me again on call last night with a spinal cord finding.

I enjoy radiology still but I don’t need the fiat anymore. Hard to walk away from the role of a radiologist. And since bitcoin has a great deal more to appreciate, every year I don’t spend bitcoin pays much more than my annual salary.

I need to learn how to think properly about walking away from medicine someday…I’m probably risking too much for too little.

It’s a tough decision.

It took me three tries to finally retire from radiology 😂

I definitely miss the income

Income is nice. Keeps me from having to think about bitcoin taxes. But time only flows one way.

Indeed.

I neglected to mention that my quality of life is massively improved without Radiology. Having some of my time back is worth much.

If I were really smart, I’d start a bitcoin treasury company based on radiology income and go public :)

I considered the same thing, but am tired of working in the broken healthcare industry

I would feel better about it if it were a real free market. But more and more it feels like theft. Anything whose cost isn’t known until one is obligated to pay for it is by definition a scam and I would argue not something that can put one lawfully in debt.
