two years... wow. Congrats, my man. That is fantastic!
Regarding your last bit about maybe getting a job again and adapting: totally. I have been a blogger (the real, getting paid kind), a writer, a banker, a computer programmer, a cashier, a stock boy, a landscaper, and now a photographer who moonlights as a haiku translator on here hoping for another career transition in the future. To stand still is boring. I can't imagine working somewhere for 40 years, retiring, getting a watch and a party. I have to keep moving. I started my first business mowing lawns and shoveling snow when I was in jr high and I have been moving every since. Even if Steem goes to the moon and makes me a rich man, I will still keep moving. Can't stop. It's not about the money—it's never been about the money. Would have stayed a coder after school and be enjoying those 100k yearly salaries if it was. It's about going my own way, doing my own thing, following my own ideas as you put it.
Congrats on the 2 years. I hope for a great future—for you and me both.
