Hello friends,
First of all I'm sorry if this isn't the best place to post a request for advice. I looked and didn't find an advice/questions section.
Before asking my question, here's some quick context about myself.
I've been a software developer for about 9 years now and I love tech and programming, although I like business as much or more. Always had the dream to have my own business as my main income.
I've been investing on/off crypto for the last 5 years and in 2021 I decided to create a DeFi protocol. It was somewhat successful in that bull market and I was fortunate enough to walk away with around $500k.
After that success, I created some other projects in DeFi with not as much success and none of them were something that produced recurring revenue. I want to distance myself from crypto (as a dev) because deep down it is an industry that I don't really believe in and it's really hard to create recurring revenue.
With this context, my question is quite simple.
What business or investment would you advise me to follow in this case? Or what would you do if you were me?
I have money and time I can invest, but no idea what to start. Given my background I could start a SAAS business, but that seems so saturated and kinda old news with all the AI innovations coming out lately. Or should I just stop bitching and try to replicated my previous success in crypto?
Thanks in advance and please shoot if you have any questions
