Okay, so if your time felt wasted, that must mean there were better uses of your 20s.

But, how else would you have driven towards your goal of building a new financial system?

Indeed, working hard towards a goal is never a waste, it can often be a learning experience regardless of the end result. And that learning is extremely valuable and also takes time.

What if the end result is harmful to society?

I guess that would depend on your own personal moral backbone as to which direction you would go at that point. Undoubtedly you’ll learn something either way, but hopefully someone would adjust for their next effort.
