RE: First blog: I've just quit my job to travel the world, funded by trading Bitcoin

That's a good point- we need people like this to do real jobs that have a positive impact on society. The problem is that the finance sector is far more rewarding and lives in a world of it's own making money out of thin air. Now teachers, nurses and doctors etc. aren't the kind of people that enter these professions for the money, but at the same time these days their goodwill is being exploited and they are getting paid less and less in real terms whilst having to work longer hours. Honestly I wish it wasn't this way, but whilst I was not in a job as noble as that of a nurse, I was fed up of effectively being punished for trying to make an honest contribution at what I did.

Sort:  

Seems going crypto is more an individual respond to the problems we just face than an attempt to solve the whole issue of a corrupt society. However it is one step in that direction.
I look forward reading about your adventures.

Oh definitely an individual attempt to escape rather than solve the whole issue yeah. Whilst I support movements for improving society big changes like this will take a long time and I'm not going to sit around waiting, plus becoming more financially independent should put me in a better position to help in the long run.

Cheers, and thanks for the comments :)
