It's funny because since I posted my reply and reading yours I reevaluated my entire future, and I had completely forgotten this note you posted (or maybe it was in the back of my mind all day long...)
The Great Hesitancy is making it impossible for me to get a job, so I decided to build something on my own. I don't know that I'll be able to charge and pay in bitcoin, but at least I'd hopefully be able to keep stacking sats while opting out of the rat race / working somebody else's fiat mine. There's great risk, and I have a family to provide for, so it's definitely scary, though.
