You made money from your side project. Where do you invest it?

@jared_nusinoff1 Nice! Do you accept payments for your side projects in crypto?

@hugh_dawkins crypto my startup (getmash.com) is built to enable streaming money with Bitcoin + Lightning network for tools/apps/digital experiences. We have a few side projects related to it launching shortly – everyone on the team is doing them. We earn a %.... and it is all in bitcoin of course. We do have to manage the balance sheet to match expenses of course, but we have a strong preference. Note "crypto" is a shiny object term trying to co-opt halo/attention of freedom money, which is Bitcoin. It's our only conceivable and real chance at it. Somewhat of a miracle. Happy to share helpful content for you to digest if you are curious (lots of disinformation, like everything these days!).

@jared_nusinoff1 looks great! It's definitely an exciting space and a ton of innovation is being driven off the back of it. Excited to see more!

@hugh_dawkins if you ever want to chat, share your thoughts on how something like this could fit perfectly with something you build... holler anytime! I'm available. We are doing heavy lifting for early partners (e.g., direct implementation work, even thought it's just a JS snippet + tagging).

@jared_nusinoff1 Will do! I'll keep it in mind for future builds :) Cheers!

@heffendi That's the way! Crypto is definitely a great option if you have the spare $$ :)

@hugh_dawkins I'm thinking of exploring NFT's and DeFi, but being a non-tech person it kind of intimidates me :(

@heffendi i'm sure there are plenty in the PH community who could help advise you on where to get started - put the word out!

@jorcus Nice! At what point do you start taking money out for yourself? Or are you happy just to keep putting it into the business forever?

@hugh_dawkins Won't put it forever. If it's still growing, will reinvest. Probably I will be able to pay myself that time. A certain percentage of the net profit will be paid to myself. This means that the more profit I make, the more I get paid. It is more humane and more motivating.

@jorcus seems like a sensible approach! Thanks for sharing :)

@hassanshaikh a big goal! Best of luck!

@hugh_dawkins thank you!

@jonathanm Well said! Highlights the importance of having a clear north star for the purpose of the project. Yes! Been focused on Notion templates/products recently and starting to branch into a few other projects related to the creator economy.

@hugh_dawkins Very cool! I discovered Notion thanks to PH, it looks interesting. Good luck on the projects sir will be following :)

@patingergen3 love this approach. I also tend to prefer ETFs over individual companies.
