Just my two cents: don't chase happiness through work. It rarely works out that way. Work to live, don't live to work. I know it sounds a bit cheesy, but give it a try and see how it feels.
My online bank doesn’t support international wire transfers. I had to wire money to a local bank then go to the branch in person, twice, to wire money to my own brother in Europe.
He then had to schedule an appointment with his own bank, go in person, and justify why he received such a big transfer, mind you, it was 8k…
So yeah, it’s not about regulation. If crypto can help streamline all this, it’s a net positive
To each their own but I found the opposite to be true. Coding or trying to focus on one one task while chat/email notifications are popping up left and right is very disruptive. I went down from two monitors to one and I'm very happy with the decision.
