Been there, done that, started small businesses a dozen times...
After 2020 hit? No bloody way in the hottest of hells will I even get close to that again, depending on anything from banks via .gov and paperwork leeches, nor will I ever consider paying a single sats in taxes until I am running a solid business with a healthy cashflow again
Will that ever be possible, for me individually and for many others who walked away? No idea, and if so it might be in a jurisdiction that was never even on my map...
So until then its Bitcoin, Nostr, and all related platforms and tech!
Yeah 2020 was a really big death knell for tons of small businesses. I was running an airBnB biz at the time and couldn't evict my tenants who failed to pay (but I still had to pay the mortgage). Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth...

Next time a couple of friends with crowbars should work...
We might very well get into a future where property is a real risk too, especially in Europistan!
I have the option of just disappearing for longer periods myself, the state would have no idea about my location, which is the only way I really enjoy living...
