No disrespect to signpost. He knows I'm available for that already. To be clear, doing fine. Everything's fine. Have been known to start my own companies in the past, albeit the more socially acceptable cool (at the time) SV types. |

asciilifeform did the 'companies' thing befoar, lost shirt repeatedly, satisfied that ~impossible for it to end well w/out some kinda meatwot 'link to money pipeline' i.e. political favour |

awt_akris: last time asciilifeform played that roulette, found that even dough aint enuff (unless i suppose it's a bankmanesque amt of dough) , still gotta either sell sumthing or pawn it off to sucker upstream, befoar dough runs out |

Other formulas such as "go to most expensive gym, cigar lounge, hangout" |
| 12:42 |
asciilifeform |
hence, apropos http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-10-11#1030940 , asciilifeform would readily bet (while still has what) but very much depending on the odds. |

awt_akris: 'round here even reasonably well-off plebes have in-house gym. wai would moneybag go to a public one |
| 12:44 |
awt_akris |
Dunno but people pay upwards of $300/mo for gym. Filters out most. |
| 12:45 |
asciilifeform |
filters out the hobos & unemployed, perhaps, lol |

at any rate asciilifeform's comment wasn't re 'what to eat while you bake $product', for this not needs rockefeller. but the 'pawn it off part' does. |

Indeed, friend failed to sell the cash cow enterprise, but fortunately plowed enough into BTC and ended up with a kind of maintenance stipend to boot. |

The restaurant industry had just had a mega forest fire in 08 as everything went splat, and most of my payments clients started their restaurant after that, were willing to try us out. |

we didn’t scam anybody though, just took the smallest percentage txn fee in our market, and charged that as an explicit line item at checkout to their customers. our “differentiator” was simply a lack of price gouging, as no VCs to please |
