I left my job to pursue Bitcoin endeavors. The opportunity cost of *staying* at my job was becoming far too great. I'm not able to stack as hard right now, but the whole reason I stacked in the first place was to do precisely this.
Over the long haul, I believe I will be able to stack more, and do so in a way that is more fulfilling.
We all talk about the ethereal goals of 6.25 BTC, or 3.125 BTC, or whole coin status or wherever the goal posts are now, but no amount is worth more than the freedom of your time.
My mom worked a job she didn't like my entire life, lived very reasonably, stacked assets real hard the whole time, and then got cancer. Within two years she was gone and never got to do the things she put off.
I refuse to let that happen to me.
We bitcoin precisely so that we can dictate money for our time, not dictate our time for money. Just remember that. You only get one life.
