If nothing else the next year is going to be interesting.  I tendered my letter of resignation last Friday.  Since August of last year I along with my business partner and investors have build Tangible Cryptography, LLC from an idea to an enterprise executing almost a million dollars a week in transactions.  To date we have done this without any full time staff, just a lot of out of the box thinking and clever back end automation.  It is time to make a leap of faith so starting in April I will be working full time for the company I helped build.   I have lots of exciting ideas to bring to the Bitcoin community and soon Tangible Cryptography will have both the funding and resources to make them happen.  When I first read Satoshi's paper back in 2011 I never imagined that the next chapter of my career would be connected to Bitcoin.  It has been an exciting couple years and I am confident that there are only bigger and better opportunities over the horizon.

congrats man, I did that move long ago, was the best thing I couldve done. Albeit at a way way way way way smaller volume, but it has made me happy.
Working on your own creation is always the best.

Congrats, C&T.

I'm hoping to do the same thing, but if I keep picking up new buyers of barn wood (three today), I'll never get out of this business to get into some Bitcoin enterprise full time. BTW, I'm still developing such an animal (<---keyword).

Great stuff!

I *sacked the boss* back in 2006 and even though I've been fairly low on funds from time to time since then I have never regretted it.

If it wasn't for having done that I seriously doubt that I would have paid any attention to Bitcoin at all and now I see it as being a major part of where my future lies.

Kudos to you! Sounds like an exciting year ahead of you! Sounds like the dream, no? Start your own company from the ground up and pursue it full time. Mucho respeto! Wink

You have a wonderful sense of timing.

Congratulations! I took that leap in 1975 and never looked back. Wisest career move I ever made.

I have been very impressed with fc4bc; any chance you might share what sorts of possible future projects TC might pursue?

Also, while I am asking questions, what is the difference between fastcash4bitcoins.com and fc4b.org?

Congratulations D&T. Bitcoin will definitely be better off with you on board full time.

I took the same step a couple of years ago and never looked back. Currently not working as a Bitcoin entrepreneur, but trying to work towards unloading my business day-by-day activities onto someone else so I can focus on new ventures.

No there is some NDA stuff in there.  The paraphrased version is something like

Quote
resigning ... last day ... thankful ... generosity of the company ... trust and confidence you have shown ... this is something I need to see through ....
