Long story short, Google froze my Google Pay account which is used to pay for anything related to Google services, including GCP. This was done as they need to temporarily suspend me to 'verify' me. The GCP team couldn't help me since it was an issue with Google Pay. Not to mention their chat support is useless and doesn't have any power to look into cases.

Now I login to find out my Google Pay account is 'temporarily suspended' since I need to verify my account. I go ahead and add my drivers license and fill out their form, but while they verify details they suspend your ability to pay for any Google services.

So now I can't pay for GCP usage (firebase) and all my authentication, database, cloud functions, are all not usable since the service is suspended. Unlike Amazon who offers phone lines for resolving billing issues, Google does no such thing. I wish I chose AWS.

The end result is that I have apps I spent years of my life building and which currently feed me to only be rendered unusable because some AI at google thought my Google Pay needed additional verification.

My whole life has done a 180 in the past week. I feel like I'm a man with literally nothing to lose and I can't live with myself anymore. This hurts much more than losing a job for me.

Please stay far, far away from Google services of any kind. They are by far the worst of the big tech companies when it comes to developer support.

At some point my apps covered my living expenses and I decided to quit my job because I felt like it was sucking away my youth.

I make enough money every month to pay my bills, and I have a decent amount of savings.

I wake up everyday and want to work on something fulfilling, but don't know where to start. I feel like I have no more purpose in life and am not sure how to spend my time.

I know this is a ridiculous first world problem, but it bothers me a lot. I tried studying math, buying drones, microscopes, and lots of other side hobbies but I need something to wake up to in the morning that keeps me hungry.

I feel like I'm dying slowly and am not sure what to do.

and I'd like to sell it for $1M+. Wondering what the best place is to find people interested. Currently a fully passive product with 99% profit margins (only some server/hosting costs).

I'm wondering if I can ask for a large premium because of the very passive state of the app (produces $4k a month passively, all traffic organic).

Meaning if I left I wouldn't see my savings decline unless something drastically changed with my business (it's been consistent for several months now).

Also have ~100K saved up that I don't think I'll need to burn. Early 20s.

How should I assess this?

It will then use 52.5K as the new basis for a 5% alert.

Currently supports bitcoin and ethereum. If there's demand, would add other cryptos.
