Working on “crypto” (before learning Bitcoin) - it wiped out my savings, affected my health, and filled my mind with noise instead of signal.
I’m glad it’s fully over now.

I am sorry to hear that. Rough ride. Everything is a tuition fee en route to Bitcoin in my experience
At least now you have a firm base to build from for the the rest of your life
Thanks again Jake! Yes, now I focus on sound incentives only, and ended up writing an entire book about innovation, entrepreneurship, and bitcoin, so that others don’t have to learn the hard way. 
How do I buy a copy?
I’ll send you a free digital copy once I finish implementing the feedback from the first 12 beta readers :) - Following the spirit of open innovation, it will be free under CreativeCommons, that’s what Satoshi would do :)
Eventually, people who want to pay for the comfort of having it on Kindle on Paper will be able to get it on Amazon (unfortunately, there’s no good alternative for that)
