I have 1 month left of my fiat mining job contract!!! I don’t actually know what I’m doing next. All I know is that it has to be bitcoin related, it has to be untethered from selling time for money.. I want to earn bitcoin. Instead of selling my soul to the fiat slavedrivers, and buying bitcoin, I’ve realised that the easiest way to do that is to provide value to bitcoiners. By serving other bitcoiners I don’t have to persuade them about paying in btc. I know they already understand low time preference and building quality. If i only accept bitcoin as payment it self-selects the right customers!

🚨 PSA 🚨 No one is tracking which post you pause on as you scroll through your Nostr feed. Your attention is not being weaponised to show you more of what you subconsciously want in order to place an ad right after it to hijack your monkey brain to buy something you don’t actually need. Have a nice day.

how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding: 1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now 2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend 3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets 4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time 5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users 6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists 7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees. 8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing 9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A 10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start you don't ~ @levelsio on X
