Hey Nostr, I need your advice. If you have time to read this and share your insights I would greatly appreciate it. If you don't have time or don't care about my ramblings, no hard feelings, keep scrolling. Maybe the process of writing this down will already be helpful.

I have reached a crossroad and need to decide where to take my career. I hate my fiat job. It is not particularly hard and the working conditions are decent, but I just don't care about anything that I do there. The deeper I am falling into the bitcoin rabbit hole, the less important my work seems to me. And I find that forcing myself to spend over half my waking hours and the majority of my energy on meaningless shit absolutely destroys my soul.

Unfortunately I did not yet manage to stack enough corn to just quit my job, which leaves me with 3 options.

Option 1: Commit to working the fiat mines until my stack is big enough or Bitcoin went up enough to fund my life. This would be the "safest" approach and probably the one where I end up with the most corn. It would also be the one most compatible with finding a partner and starting a family, which is a big goal of mine. The cons I already mentioned above. I would be giving my most valuable years to something that I don't believe in for a comfortable retirement which may or may not be filled with regret.

Option 2: Going all in on my passion for Bitcoin. I have a great Idea for a business built on Bitcoin, which would leverage the things I am actually skilled and interested in, but it is risky. I have no experience with being self employed and no idea how big the actual demand for my service would be. It would be a ton of work at first with an uncertain chance of success. But I would love what I am doing and feel like I am having a positive impact on the world. But if it fails I would have wasted my biggest chance of stacking sats at cheap prices.

Option 3: Reduce my hours at the fiat job and build my business on the side. This might be a good compromise, but it might also be the worst of both worlds. I know myself and I don't tend to put in enough work if my attention is split between two things. So instead of taking twice as long for the launch it might take me 4 times as long and I still would not be stacking at this time.

What are your thoughts? Obviously you can't decide for me. But maybe you can share some lessons from your life or different perspectives.
