What are you after in life?

A lifetime of financial security and building great businesses?

Or working for someone else / struggling to make ends meet because you thought you could turn 12M into 50M or 200M. But in fact it flopped.

If you have more than enough to be financially secure already (and perhaps your children if you choose that path).... then go for the home run.

But if this thing comes crashing down (99% of businesses fail within 5 years and 99% of the remaining 1% fail in the next 5)... then what would you think?

Sure would be nice to put a million or two in the pocket today.

I'm going to get flak for this.... but there's probably a better chance that BTC/ETH will return 10x returns over the next 10 years than turning a business valued at 12M into 120M.

Yes, that is speculation. But so is your ability to scale 10x (but at least somewhat within your control).
