People who work for their financial freedom
are going to work to obtain valuable assets. People who work for psychological reasons or spiritual reasons will work for the steady paycheck. The difference is your assets amplify your labor and work for you even when you're an old person.
This isn't to say people shouldn't find something to do to be happy or to solve problems in the world (service) but that there is a different goal behind it. Do you want more freedom or do you want to dedicate your life to service primarily? Do you live primarily for yourself or do you live primarily for your community? There are deep philosophical questions involved in this discussion.
Is it about the job, the paycheck, or the freedom? Is the American dream a myth? Is the conservative approach to life the wrong approach? The approach to go to college, get married, buy a house? Or is this approach the path of low return and hard work?
Well I definitely believe in acquiring assets, and for poor people, crypto is a major opportunity to actually do that. I've though a lot about the job and paycheck thing, and what it comes down to for me is that as long as I have to work in order to get money, I'd prefer to be working in a job where I can be free to exercise my strengths and creativity, but where someone else can worry about the money, in particular paying me. Entrepreneurship is cool, but it does come with a certain amount of hassle that a regular job doesn't have. There are trade-offs either way. So I like having a job that I enjoy and that pays me. I also enjoy building up my cryptoinvestments. I do hope that one day my investments will pay the bills and then I can keep working if I want to because I love the job, and not also because I need the money.
