Ventures of an ex indie game developer

I'm rich, what now?

Remains to be seen if getting rich too fast will render me incapable of working. It's well-known that too steep ascension is bad for human productivity, the question is just in what regard and to what extent. Anyhoo, I still believe I'm on a hockey stick. And while there have been some setbacks in the five months since I completed v1.0 of my cryptocurrency trading robot, the profitability is absolutely magnificent.

I could attempt projections on when the exponentiality will pan out, or how much I'll be able to spend on nonsense in a year, but I'll just ignore that and focus on more important aspects of the ride:
How to spend the money. How to spend my time.

All dem Moneys

At first I had elaborate, although elusive, ideas on what to do with all the cash. After some thinking I deem it less important. I'll give 10% of my profits to charity, the rest I'll just stash or spend or invest in the real world. Some of it I probably will use to push the BTC price up, not the least as that spells liberty. I'm possibly becoming somewhat of a libertarian; which is in my view the better alternative to becoming a cynic.

To me, money is two things: 1) freedom in your spare time, and 2) freedom in your work. The first one will cause a temporary boost in happiness, the second one will have a more profound effect on overall life. Many people wrongly believe that the first one is the important part, which makes them hollow as they sense it (either approaching the singularity, or by simply over-consuming). I'm targeting the second one. Which brings us to...

Da Time

What work would I find deeply meaningful? I've only worked in technology my whole life, and the only "natural" progression I can think of that interests me is warp drive, which, rumor has it, currently is researched by To The Start Academy Aerospace in partnership with Skunk Works. Real-life PSI applications would also be of interest, but we're not there yet. And possibly not in my lifetime. Also, when either of these two disciplines inevitably are developed, the weaponization of them are so devastating that they require us to neutralize every possible terrorist at once, or humanity (and possibly the whole universe) is doomed within a year with p=1.
In the future we must chose between preventive genocide and extinction.
So I perhaps not that.

Better would be to make short clips on Youtube. I'd love to learn, teach and inform on UFOs, PSI, warp drive, climate change, building cryptocurrency bots, and a thousand other topics. Given time, I might even become half-decent at it. Both fun and meaningful - that's the spirit lad!
