Right now I am keeping my 3D hobby as cheap as I can. Around the time the global pandemic started I got certified as an assistive technology specialist. Hopefully in a few months when everything is reopened I can find work in that field.
I wish you the best with this endeavor and believe there is certainly a market for assistive tech in the future. It makes sense that it would be a growing industry.
I bought my 3D printer with crypto, as well as every part and accessory needed, and then got wrecked and lets just say the market has not been kind to me.
I was fortunate to get everything I needed for the printer before getting wrecked, but now I'm pretty much in the same boat and buying even rolls of filament is not going to be easy for me.
I didn't report my crypto pennies and don't care to. The little bit I turned into cash didn't even add up to tax brackets, and the whole institutional forceful demand for us to report is pretty vile and disgusting to me as a crypto enthusiast who believes it should have helped us detach from the broken monetary system we are enslaved under, but that's another topic entirely.
I would like a flat tax. There's a fan theory I like that states The Joker would rather go against Batman than the IRS because he only commits crimes in which he knows he can claim insanity as an affirmative defense.
