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.

If you’ve got 30 minutes, I recommend checking out the first half of this podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-detach-from-wor...

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

The answer should be obvious, but isn't.

I'm curious to hear real-world experiences that go beyond database design 101 textbooks. Have you faced any tradeoffs, surprises, or regrets around this decision?

I'd work on a side project. Freelancing platforms like upwork are very competitive and if you're in the U.S you'll never be able to compete on price.
