I could not agree more. Perseverance was a principle I was recently meditating on, so it's interesting that it was your response.

When people have asked me how to get involved, since the very beginning of my entry into the Bitcoin space, this has been my thought:

Make two lists. 1 of things you like doing, and 1 of things you're good at. If you like doing it, you should be able to do it for a long time, and if you're good at it and do it for a long time, you'll likely find a way to make money doing it eventually.
