This is why low cost of living is one very important type of freedom. I guess you can see why I’ve never seen hive as an income source but rather a source of extra investment and new friends.

Compared to the cost of living in Tokyo as well, it’s never really been “worth” my time except because of the community I could build and the things I could learn here, those made it worth it.

Now I’m a bit burned out but still here, just way less active than before, which was honestly way too much. 2-6 hours a day is unsustainable unless the minimum wage is less than $5 an hour where you live.
