 I’m sure I’m not alone… sitting here trying to stay focused and motivated in my safe fiat job. I can’t complain. I’ve got a nice place to live. A good place to work and a lovely family. I’m lucky…. #bitcoin has changed my life in many ways, but the most profound has been that it’s shown me that I’m in a cage… I know what I’ve got to do to get out and part of it is enduring working a job I no longer believe in for a bit longer. Sounds easy, but I’m really not finding it so! Would welcome any words of wisdom! 
 Every day is a new day just take it one day at a time Life will Eventually throw you a curveball 
 I know what it's like, understanding Bitcoin makes life seem a little like the life of Sisyphus (pushing a rock to the top of the mountain every day). But you are not alone, most of the big changes you will only see in the long term and that is ok. 
 What’s the job? 
 I look after data for a company that basically sells sugar water.  I can’t complain, I could be in a way worse situation! 
 It’s definitely possible to have a job that doesn’t really feel like work. I’ve managed to do it working for myself. Definite trade offs with uncertainty of income but it’s worth the freedom.
