At what point does the cost of basing your business in the U.S and Europe become a severe disadvantage? Seems to me we may now be approaching that inflexion point.

This is an interesting thought experiment. I am in Canada and was indirectly thinking along these lines today as I was walking through the downtown area of our town. The area was bustling today as we have many folks from the city already arriving for Christmas. It was nice to see all the local shops, restaurants and cafes filled with patrons.

Ever since I sold my business almost 2 years ago now. I have been keeping an open mind and open eye to what business I might start next, which I plan to at some point when the itch to do so it greater than the itch to not do so. I saw a small vacant commercial space next to a boutique hotel and I started thinking about what I could do with that space but was resigned to thinking about business licenses, permits to redevelop the space, the cost to build out something, financing, all types of insurance, hiring, payroll, taxes, and so on. You get the picture. I started to think more about the barriers to entry than what was possible.

Maybe just a sign that I am not that motivated to start something again or that something with a physical location shouldn't be considered. But also maybe a sign that even for seasoned entrepreneurs starting certain businesses just doesn't make financial sense and aren't worth the hassle anymore.

I know this isn't really what you were getting at but thought it was adjacent to your point.

It’s absolutely what I was getting at. Love hearing insights like this. The regulatory burden for all businesses is increasingly prohibitive.

Go to Colombia, Paraguay or many other traditionally ‘backwards’ countries and all you need to do is pay the money upfront and if you’re motivated you could open a store next week. This I suspect was how it used to be in the West, very agile and entrepreneurial. That feels alien now. Opening a physical store/restaurant/hotel in Canada, Europe or U.S these days requires probably that you want to do it for the passion, not for a decent living or for the profit motive. Especially given the paperwork involved & setup costs involved.

200 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined 16 Dec 2023

If you can even imagine it, there were periods where you didn't even have to pay the money upfront. If you felt like starting a business, you just started a business.

oh, I can! It still working like this in some places: you just DO it and accept cash - people used to work at home too, just sell the surplus in the first place.

Business is quite a big word TBH, how about just doing what you are good at and enjoy, and it also provides value to others at the same time, so much easier to understand! Now it's about MBA ( title ), PPT, and many fancy numbers to fool others, or even creating problems to sell solutions, madness.

I went to a waving village before and was told all the retail shops weren't even there 20 years ago, and most people used to work at home and then sell their products, then slowly opening small workshops; but then everything is moving to big factories now, and these manufactures are competing for marketing or price instead of quality or craftsmanship, and roughly 7 people are left still doing waving the traditional way out of the whole village! quite depressed to see how fiat money is ruining traditions.

then I got to meet two craftsmen and spent some time with them, we made some nice products together, and I paid them in cash; if more people value quality and appreciate people's passion instead of marketing, and say what they mean, mean what they say, maybe things don't need to be so complicated at all, the whole reason why having all this corporation setup is mainly to protect yourself from dishonest people, but then if we are really being real about the "law", the whole corporation thing and law are actually protection for the "bad guys."... but that's another topic.

I just feel that maybe Bitcoin can reshape our understanding of business, corporating by contracts, not by laws. cc @Lux

There are definitely some sole proprietors who provide off the books services, but the idea of having a brick-and-mortar store without state permission is very foreign to us. I'm glad you've experienced that degree of freedom first hand.

Totally. I mean that is similar to how things are now (with the ‘cloud’) just not in name.

When working for yourself and maybe a few corporate clients, this is definitely optimal.

When serving tens of thousands of individual users & a few employees, B2C, the archaic systems are still somewhat rigged towards a physical location. You often need the legal protection that a business provides.

Anyone found a good workflow or way to manage browser tabs?

Stressful to have so many windows open, but I always think 'what if I close and forget something'? Surely A.I. has solved this already. Given it's Friday already, I'm mulling force closing all my browsers windows right now and starting over. But will I regret it? 😅

'what if I close and forget something

just close them, the act of closing itself make you don't take anything for granted, like you know @nemo is gonna delete everything so you pay more attention for those deep and fun stuff:)

I wipe my browser history and laptop from time to time, just to make sure I backup everything important, otherwise I'm the one to be blamed.

I just had the best Boza in my life, and yet it costs only 15TL, about 1200 sats - it took some walk to find that old shop, but it's so worth it!

I often wonder if these people are doing charity, you have a few shops like this but then you have many average ones but doing everything they could or even tailor for tourists, with average/bad quality but with a way higher price.

And many things work like this in our society, e.g.

the real interesting people barely use social media, yet you see many people with a "fun" life posting in everywhere;
the best products are made by people who love making them, and yet you have all the fancy brands focusing on the packaging and marketing.

and many more, I guess the cheat code is to see through the surface and verify what is really inside.

Just a few days ago, I realized I have been wasting my sats on Domino's pizza all this time, while I could have just used another pizzeria (L'Osteria) that I knew people who have been living here way longer than me really like. It's bigger, better quality, closer but still cheaper and more personal. I can show how patient I can be since they can be quite busy but still be very nice and acknowledge that I have been waiting for longer than they initially told me. One time they were so busy, the guy taking orders and giving out orders to guest waiting on tables, he had to literally ask me if I already paid because he just couldn't tell anymore. I simply said no. He was happy since I just simply told him the truth and then I simply paid and asked him: "Busy day, eh?"

He looked at me, smiling: "Yeah, you could say that."

Then he didn't give me 5 cents of my change and said: "Something tells me you don't need these 5 pennies."

So there is even some personal social component going on with this place now :)

Thanks man. I have definitely gotten stronger. I usually bust out the 20 reps in the first set without a problem now.

I think my goal for 100 will be 20-20-20-20-20, and then I'll keep it at 100 total but work on increasing set size (such as 40-40-20) and movement technique (diamond push-ups, etc.)

I'd like to work on pull-muscles next, but it's hard to find a convenient exercise for this that doesn't rely upon equipment (like a pull-up bar, rings, etc.)

Yeah it does, thanks.

Similar to the push-ups, I'd like to commit every day with ever so slight progression. It'll have to be something I can do anywhere, anytime. I am leaning towards bodyweight rows with a set of gymnastic rings I can take with me wherever I go. All that's needed is a place to hang them, which can be a bar, a tree branch, etc.

We can also start a new challenge once 100 is breached.

I was thinking squats, weight loss, something like that.

The important thing is that we do it every day and shitpost about it in the saloon.

I get it. Personally, I find it useful to post about it for accountability. I am so balls deep into this now that if I don't post within the hour, people start asking where I've got to. That's tremendously useful to me and I probably would have bailed by now if it weren't for that kind of feedback.
