To be honest I think it's kind of nuts that companies don't offer freelancers SOME kind of benefit. For example a stipend towards health insurance they get from the marketplace?

That would be amazing. Even if it was just a portion toward the overall cost. I wonder if this will ever be a thing. How do we start moving towards this? Freelancers need to unite and discuss.

Why do you work freelance instead of working Full-Time for a single employer? Is your role niche in that employers only need your services short-term?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

BTC question.

Less than 3 million BTC left to be mined. What happens to the value of BTC once all 21 million are mined? If it’s not really an efficient payment medium, then is there a max value based on the supply/demand? To clarify, once the supply limit is reached what dictates that btc will continue increasing in value if demand should remain the same (as it’s not a practical payment medium)? Furthermore, is there a way to calculate the approx value of BTC demand once max supply is reached?
