 I think the ultimate reality is becoming that ownership is just an expense. Products developed need to be justified by the market, And building the company is a personal expense until a product is profitable. It’s actually easier to just buy and hold the bitcoin than try to build something that might or will likely fail. There is an initial hardware investment, There is a cost of purchasing bitcoin which varies, And building something outside that is a personal decision. I make things but I make them because I want them, Not because I am worried about finding funding for a faceless company that people mindlessly work at. If I like you enough to talk to you about the things I make you might get a chance to buy them from me, Of course in bitcoin, But otherwise I find building the company out to have employees and an office sounds like a waste of resources to me. I am the bank, I am the finance I am the company. Like it or love it.
