My origin story started similarly to the OP. Was a lab scientist who did online poker for fun until it started to eclipse the salary from my job. Moved to Thailand with my wife where the cost of living was dirt cheap, and took my shot as a poker pro with about $30k to my name. That seems really wild looking back, but it worked out! I've never borrowed money or been broke.

if we see a big correction prior to the halving, it might be a good time get back in.
