    Both Bitcoin and Jordan Peterson's ideas require serious investment of effort to understand them in context. Unless you get cypherpunk, it takes time to get what's the point of Bitcoin. And unless you read Carl Jung, it takes time

    Probably not common in the US, but you can always try to negotiate with your existing employer. Networking should help here too. If you live in a place with low cost of living, freelancing must be the most straightforward way to land a part

    I got my last two long-term remote jobs through upwork.com. But probably it's hard to find a job above $20 per hour if you don't already have reps there. Having some rare skills helps though. If you don't mind (remote) full-t
