Starting a startup is sort of like having kids. It's a tremendous responsibility, not something you should do because of burnout.

You don't actually have creative freedom. Your freedom is limited to what makes money right away, or what pleases investors. If you meet an angel who wants blockchain, you better get to work on that chain.

Maybe freelancing is the way to go, or working at a startup.

But if you want to start a startup because it's on your bucket list, then go ahead. Make sure you have some runway. Recession is a great time to start companies, because a lot of really smart people will be looking for jobs, and you'll be contributing more to society by creating them.
