 Mulling over going independent. Big issue, as ever, is financing. 

Tired of the shitcoinery; I wanna align with people who are more driven by this bitcoin thing 😞 

Any good books on this or advice?  
 There's always a risk in going alone. And it may not work out. But you'll regret not doing it.

Take the plunge and just do it. And good luck 👍 
 I agree with this sentiment. I waited way too long before properly committing to founding my first startup. The startup didn’t make it but it was an insanely valuable experience and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

Happy to chat anytime if you want to bounce ideas. 
 I definitely waited too long 😂 I'm just getting started on this exciting journey 
 Thanks guys. Much appreciated. I’m getting nearer 
 Once you have the thought of trying it alone...to try and do what you want, its almodt impossible to keep grinding unhappily as a wage earner so i recommend to follow your gut and try it.  
 Thank you 🫡  
 Go for it.

Can you even have a better setup for it then now? 
 Tbh no - I mean a big stack of btc would be nice 😆

 Dooo it!!!!! 
 build up a year of living expenses, then go HARD in it. You're super talented in so many facets - I could probably hook you up with some sidegigs too 
 Creative people need very little to live on and then there are places on earth where cost of (much richer) life is almost negligible. I took two years off from salried work and never went back .. Turned out I thought I needed lot more money than what I actually spent in last two years .. despite inflation :-) 😔 
 Send it & don't look back. You got this 💪 
 Ty ser 
 Have you considered approaching bitcoin only companies? 
 Let’s chat when you get to Amsterdam. I have some thoughts on this topic 
 Looking forward to it mate! 
 I’m behind.. what happened?
