Bitcoin is a game of patience. Daniel has been here a while and has shown more patience than most.
Founder of HardBlock.com.au – Australia's oldest Bitcoin only exchange – he's stayed true to his principles since finding Bitcoin in 2013. There have been hurdles and challenges along the way. Brendo and I sat down with him to hear his story and seek his advice. It left us with plenty to consider. We discuss:
- What it’s like being in Bitcoin full-time for 9 years
- Starting a Bitcoin business 4 months after discovering Bitcoin
- Jumping in on the 2013 price spike, and being underwater for 2 years
- Coming from a computer system engineering and economics background
- His rapid fall down the rabbit hole
- Never really having a “real job”
- Seeing a Bitcoin therapist
- Being part of a social revolution
- Managing risk in a Bitcoin business
- Being de-banked more than 20 times
- Building a service you’re happy to recommend to family and friends
- Encouraging customers to self-custody
- Shitcoin casinos
- Can you build a Bitcoin only business and why
- Industry bodies
- The ethics of advertising
- How you reach decisions
- Can a business outperform Bitcoin
- Local not global

Therefore, it is worth noting that Bitcoin's volatility can also work against traders, leading to significant losse

glad you are thinking about monetization and not just accepting every sponsor who comes along. there is a very “Bitcoin centric” way of approaching this .. https://value4value.info/
