The government paid him well for every coin of crypto he did not mine. The more crypto he did not mine, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn’t earn on new GPUs to increase the amount of crypto he did not mine.

I need to get into the business of being paid to not mine crypto. Sounds lucrative, and I have the skillset already.
Here I am, not mining crypto for free, like some sucker!
if you’re good at something, never do it for free

Good book, I would recommend it!
One of my absolute favorites. “Help the bombardier!”
That’s a sweet gig, if you can get it. I heard you have to now show you can grow but choose not to.
I would totally read that book.
