My main guiding is to remain as flexible as possible during times of uncertainty so now I'm always weighing every big decision against whether it improves or hinders mine and my immediate family's flexibility.

Hey Brian welcome to SN.
I can appreciate you had a nuanced situation with your team + investors + product market fit.
But let's not be naive...
Supporting bcash was aligning OB with a concerted attack on Bitcoin and the sovereignty of its users, many of whom were OB early adopters. Any built up loyalty + reputation you had from users like myself was lost.

As much as I would like them to go away, I'm skeptical they will go away this cycle?

My German friends are disproportionately (out of all my euro friends) fully bought into green sustainability climate change virtue signaling circle jerk propaganda.
They're also the most susceptible to Bitcoin energy fud.
I put it down to them being at the top of the eurozone fiat cantillon pyramid to the point that the majority are completely detached of economic reality.

There was a Bank of England committee meeting the other day with MPs, the BoE governor and other members of his team that has some really interesting insights. A few of my takeaways:
  • Autumn forecast is for double digit CPI.
  • Incoming food crisis is really really really bad ("apocalyptic" scenario in the governor's words).
  • Some number above 400 thousand of labour has not returned to work. Participation rate is down and not recovering like it did during GFC.
  • Something above 300 thousand of those are due to long sickness, the exact cause of which is not known. Speculation is long covid or people with prexisting conditions refusing to go back to work.
