Working on Ethereum could be similar to working at a Google: lower risk with broad impact right away. Working on a token is similar to working on a startup: higher risk and lower initial impact but higher upside potential.
I think whether it's a good idea or not to take the startup plunge comes down to the responsibilities of the individual. If you have a family to care for or a huge mortgage payment, then quitting your steady day job to launch a startup probably isn't the best decision to make.
For a long time, I've ranted against naming your startup community 'Silicon Whatever.' Instead, I believe every startup community already has a name. The Boulder startup community is called Boulder. The L.A. startup community is called L.A. The Washington D.C. startup community is called Washington D.C.
I've been very fortunate to be at the startup of a lot of different things. I was the startup of the Pancrase organization in Japan. Became a big figure over there. Then I was in the UFC and was at the startup of that, and I was a big figure in that. Twice. Not only in the beginning but also when it was taken over.
True opinions are a fine thing and do all sorts of good so long as they stay in their place; but they will not stay long. They run away from a man's mind, so they are not worth much until you tether them by working out the reason. Once they are tied down, they become knowledge, and are stable.
In the startup world, 'not working' is normal.
I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don't talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble.
There's a rule in Hollywood: stay away from water and stay away from snow, and I had both.
Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.

I try to stay away from the craft services table on set! That's probably why I am able to still get work in this business: I stay away from junk food.
God is working on your problem. Stay calm. Stay sweet. Stay out of fear and keep on keeping on.

For a long time my family believed that all of us working together could provide my sister with a happy life in our midst. My parents, strong believers in family loyalty, rejected suggestions that Rosemary be sent away to an institution.
If you have an idea that you can't get out of your head, do a startup. Otherwise join a startup.
Gotta stay in the gym, stay funny, stay sharp. I just love working.
