Hey now. Midas Whale here. I'm writing today because I find myself at a crossroads in life. The part of life where I pretend to be a human has gotten untenable, and I'm ready to make some big changes. I'm going all in on a crypto career. 
In my current job, I've hit my limit. It's not just the paycheck that's an issue; it's about feeling boxed in and unable to grow. I've recently had to sell a good portion of my modest bitcoin holdings in order to pay rent I was behind on. It's just not sustainable. San Francisco is unsustainable for most people. Still, immovable family obligations leave me no choice but to remain in the Bay Area. So, here I am, leaving my job to charge headlong into crypto, with the conviction of knowing the risk I take will have its reward.
I'm headed to Art Basel on a wing and a prayer. A testament to resourcefulness, tbw. I've scraped together funds for the cheapest plane ticket I could get and I'm taking my backpack with my sleeping bag ready to sleep outside if that's what it comes to. I'm fully committing to helping to build the future of permissionless, decentralized technologies, and I'd like to reach out to those at Art Basel who are like minded. Maybe we can build something together. I’m more determined than ever to make it in this space, and for me, making it just looks like having enough to get by. Mint this article and the NFT below if you want, as a way to show support, and if you’re in Miami come say hello! I'll be the whale with the cardboard sign. You might as well, Midas Whale.
