For me, my employers always got more than they paid for. After running successful businesses for years, I decided to look at Crypto as a way to earn a mostly passive income. When you produce results and the reward is not meaningful it becomes difficult to motivate yourself to continue, especially when the job requires 60 to 70 hours a week, no weekends, no public holidays.
For some of us, Crypto is way more important to us than others... it's a lifeline.
