Well, friends. Today it was my turn in the barrel. I got laid off from my fiat job along with most of my coworkers. I’m not interested in returning to that world again, and want to build the next phase of my career in bitcoin. I want to put my years of experience in creative, design, branding, and marketing to a better purpose, to help integrate bitcoin, the Lightning Network, nostr, and the ideas, values, and vision we share into the culture at large. If any of you have ideas, a business, or a connection that I should make, let’s talk. Or feel free to tag someone in a reply. 💜⚡️🤙

A lot of people say sorry. That’s bullshit. This is awesome. You will be moving in to something worthwhile and what you enjoy. It will be a pleasure to get up and go to work. When you have passion and enjoy what you do there is no other road but success. Congratulations. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💜🧡💪
As one door closes another opens. The Bitcoin and Nostr community are lucky to have you and your attitude as part of it. I know that you’ll find the next phase as rewarding and fulfilling as the opportunity aligns with timing. 🤙💜
This is land of opportunity brother! You’re in the right place for your future dreams. Someone here will help to point you in the right direction. I admire your forward thinking!
Huh, maybe we all need to laid off from fiat mining jobs to wake the fuck up. Best of luck in your next life journey 🤙✊

There is opportunity in the decoupling, best of luck!
Mate feeling ya ! Life on life’s terms right…. Going through some similar struggles myself. I have something that maybe of interest I’ll DM you tomorrow morning if that’s okay with you?
Seriously though if anyone is interested I do have an idea for a transactional decentralized platform. Which has not been done yet it would be a dream to make it a reality but i'm not coding capable to make it from scratch. It would have multiple payment methods including lightning.
Oh man, I’m sorry Daniel. 🤜🫂 Wishing you luck on the next adventure and phase! You got this!
I’m sorry Daniel 🫂 But it sounds like you are ready for the next phase and excited to work on something bigger 😍 I’m send you all of my hugs, kisses, and positive energy. Wishing you luck on the next adventure that will soon present its self to you! ❤️
No suggestions just a hug. 🫂 It may not seem like it but this is probably the best time for you to start something new. Sending good vibes 🤗
🫂 If you have some savings, take a moment to reflect on your good fortune to be out of the fiat mines and to be able to take a leap and follow your passion. Life is energy. What you give flows back to you. Consider doing some volunteer work in the Bitcoin space (maybe bitcoinerjobs.com ) while you look for a paying position? Stay in the flow. 🤞✨🙏
Oof! Didn’t get that part while I hung around on the nest … I know it’s a little bit cliche … but I’m sure you will find something that more aligned to your vision soon … that’s why things end, for new things to start …

Sorry to hear man. 😕 Hopefully you’ll end up in a better place because of this.
Sorry/not sorry to hear of the lay off. Sounds like a stepping off point for your future freedom-from-fiat-flight-to great heights. I grieve for your colleagues who may not be as poised for take-off as you. My thoughts are with you ♡ as ever, from one of your biggest fans.

Good luck! SilentLink looking for some design work. Maybe a need for a bitcoin focused design studio. image
Ah man. So sorry to hear that. Best wishes as you create your own post-fiat destiny! 🤙
Shit man. I’m very glad to hear that you’re already looking to a brighter future and new doors will open. I’ll keep my eyes and ears open. 💪
Quel courage, ravie pour vous de savoir ce que vous voulez désormais surtout dans votre propre projet socioprofessionnel . A partir de vos expériences vous avez toujours la possibilité de poser pour analyser vos compétences transférables qui sont souvent plus utiles qu'un diplôme
Find your Bitcoin job as you wish, but put some time into creating digital content. People are on their phones constantly! Mostly watching utter drivel Bitcoin content is unfortunately still niche to the masses, so maybe a more general topic Gaming, bodybuilding, food, diet. View quoted note →
Un nouveau départ dans ce que vous aimez réellement et vous serez plus épanoui je vous l'assure. J'accompagne socioprofessionnellement toute sorte de public dans ce sens.. je vous encourage à travailler sur la mise à plat de vos diverses expériences puis d'en faire une synthèse qui sera votre passeport. Vous serez très fier de ce travail personnel sur vous-même
Vous savez j'ai noté une certaine désolation dans les notes, sachons que nous avons tous divers parcours souvent d'ailleurs la plupart des changements d'orientation socioprofessionnelle se fait entre 30 et 40 ans. Il y a plusieurs phases dans un parcours socioprofessionnel..Encore heureux que ce changemernt ne soit lié aux divers risques de vulnérabilités sociales de la vie dans un contexte c'est plus complexe pour rebondir
Travailler d'abord sur la mise à plat de vos compétences, professionnelles, savoir- faire et savoir-être ensuite suivra l'étape du CV synthétisé et vous aurez de plus tous vos argumentaires pour cibler tout poste de votre choix. N'hésitez pas en cas de besoin tout se faire en échanges via des mails 🫂
Un impératif sinon vous perdez des jours surtout si vous aviez soldé vos congés ou ayiez des congés non soldés qu'ils vous ont payés
Trop juste aujourd'hui pour certaines personnes de vivre décemment ces dernières années pour une personne non propriétaire je vous l'assure avec le coût de la vie qui est plus hallucinant..on se serre la ceinture seul à 2 idem à moins qu'il ait un bas de laine
Dois s'y pencher tranquillement avec du recul et naturellement faites s'il vous plaît en priorité une mise à plat de bourre parcours socioprofessionnel sur chaque expérience entre les prescrit et le non prescrit ..merci
Est-ce quelqu'un à penser à mutualiser toutes ces pistes sur un lieu dédié spécifique au secteur , si non je pourrais aider à gérer toutes ses opportunités et les classer par domaines, lieux sociétés métiers pré requis compétences salaires lieux d'exercices...dm sur mon autre profil avec npup correct celui-ci fut avec Github à l'époque mais impossible d'unir technique mon les 2 profils
Il y a eu un poste très intéressant récemment pour travailler avec Gigi à conditions que vous ayiez les compétences exigées me demande si elle n'est pas pourvue un nostriche dans la cible du contenu et exigences peinait à transmettre sa candidature directement à Opensats , j'avais dû lui répondre de passer par la note ou via @Gigi
Même chose que j'ai dûe renvoyer en note, totalement d'accord avec vous c'aurait été pire suite à une maladie, un accident de la vie ou tous les autres de vulnérabilités sociales ,... où il fait presque tout reconstruire tel le lot de quasiment la plupart des personnes que j'accompagne
Une piste ...vous êtes par contre très doué sur nostr pour l'identification et avez été le 1er à m'en faire un feedback avec ce compte avec une clé naze de Github mais j'y tiens même si j'en ai recréé un d'équerre 🤣🙏

Sorry to hear :( If it’s any consolation, trust that the dots will connect and the stars align eventually. Stealing words from Steve Jobs. Definitely try OpenSats! There’s a bitcoin jobs board too, forget exact URL. Put together a portfolio if you haven’t already. Actually, make 2. One normie one and one that describes your passion for bitcoin / nostr. Good to have normie job options - hit LinkedIn and share expertise / case studies. Hit up bitcoin Twitter to share your other portfolio. Best of luck to you! Just be active in sharing and you’ll find something!
Well You Can send a DM @Vitor Pamplona he Can explain why You your note can't translate . On nostr we have now Many languages translated automaticaliy . May Hope he find the bug . You're from Denmark!? You're welcome Happy to share with You and in case of technical matters never hesitate to create a public note'. It's one of bests of the nostr communitie.💜🫂
So j think Vitor works with @Damus too and my note was for @The Daniel 🖖 "s note When so Many people answered. Sorry j loose my english and spanish learning because j stopped to used since so many years in my works and j had to use a good communication in France Paris
Il a tendance à répondre @Vitor Pamplona espèrons qu'en cours de journée des notriches vous apporteront leurs lumières. C'est la 1ere que j'aie un retour sur ce type de soucis mais l'amélioration continue et la créativité , les échanges d'idées pour trouver des solutions existent sur ce protocole sur lequel je demeure en observation et analyses pour l'instant personneellement . Bonne journée et encore ravie pour ces échanges 🙏♾️🫂
Pour la traduction en France il y a une spécificité que se doivent de respecter les exigences de l'académie de la langue . C'est pourquoi certains étrangers qui utilisent leur téléphones peinent à se faire comprendre surtout les subtilités lingustiques qui sont somplexes à maîtriser . Google et Apple s'y plient mais c'est pas à 💯 souvent je rectifie
Did the same last spring. Enough of those jobs. Building new software by myselfuwith generative AI, #Bitcoin and a bit of Nostr. gm :)
Sorry to hear that. But glad your ready for the Bitcoin workforce world. Follow your passion. And not only will it feel like you're not working. You will likely be one of the best in the career you're passionate about.
Well technically, nostrocket will probably qualify as a “DAO” at some point. I fully expect DAOs to emerge on nostr and be useful. Of course most DAOs at this point are just a reason to issue a new token Ponzi
I’m just seeing this now… but I’m very sorry to read this. I’m in somewhat the same place as you… Take some time, focus on and what’s important right now and just know… If you ever buy a shrimp boat. I’ll be your first mate, fren 🙏 image
I’d feel the same! You’ll get through this stronger. Side fiat job can be great to pay bills if needed, otherwise I’d surely be excited for the opportunities bitcoin community presents!
Well 😅 thanks 🤷‍♀️ I guess he wrote in three parts so I just responded to each part. Part 1: He told us that he got laid off - so I just told him I’m sorry that happened and if I was there I would have hugged him so I used a hug 🫂 emoji Part 2: He told us he was not interested in returning to that world again, and wanted to build the next phase of his career in bitcoin. - So I just acknowledged what he said and encouraged it, “sounds like you are ready for the next phase and excited to work on something bigger” and I felt like it’s an awesome attitude to have and that it’s something positive for his life so I used the loving eyes 😍 emoji because I loved what he said. Part 3: He asked if we have ideas, a business, or a connection that he should make… and since I didn’t at the moment I wanted to at least send him my love and positive energy for whatever it’s worth - so I sent him my hugs, kisses, and positive energy. That’s a look into a girls brain 🧠😂
If you seem female someone will accuse you of being a bot or a man pretending to be a woman. The more conventionally attractive you are by western standards the more frequently it will happen.
Lol I feel like this is proving to be true. But these guys don’t even know if I’m “conventionally attractive” I’ve only shown them my legs and stomach 🤷‍♀️ I want to take it as a compliment though 😂 I suppose he felt my text was well written 😍
Those pictures were enough for them to be like she’s hot and is discussing things I’m interested in. Yep can’t possibly exist. You’ll probably be accused of sat baiting soon. Don’t mind them.
😂😂😂 yes it actually already happened to me. But it’s fine, like it sucks, but I also feel for them because sats are quite valuable and while I know they don’t mind zapping other dudes that post something funny or some valuable bits of information (I see it all the time) I suppose they just don’t want to zap a dude who is with a fake profile stealing all of their sats 🤪 I was chill though, I knew over time they would realize I’m really a girl and if I ever go to a meet up and they meet me I know they will all feel super bad for putting me through the ringer and accusing me of being a guy 😅 And to be fair, when I see another girl who is anonymous I also question the profile (to my self though). Like umm am I DMing some dude who just wants to chat and he is tricking me into possibly meeting up and who knows what he wants from me 🥵 It is kind of hard to tell 🤷‍♀️ With time the truth always shines ✨ But the AI thing is new 😂 like I said, I’ll take it as a compliment 😍
Thanks 😍💜✨ I must admit I’m not always so “structured”. If I’m overly excited or texting and walking (at night especially) my brain is sometimes all over the place 🤪
I don’t blame you, it seems pretty far-fetched that they would actually work and remain stable. I think Nostr gives the best chance of success, but that doesn’t mean they will (or should) succeed.
Best of luck in your journey. This rabbit hole is deep but amazing. I just built a place where you can see everything happening in this ecosystem. Really did it because I want to learn more about it all, but its catching on a bit. Mentioning it because there you will find the bitcoin builders who are launching new products and services. Launching = growing. These teams may growing, so check them out. bitcoinlaunches.com

what Bitcoin job did you get? congrats 🙌🏻🫶🏻 I relate and am on the same boat...
Hey Daniel, sorry to hear this BUT exciting times are ahead. No more burden of the golden handcuffs. I’ll dm you shortly. Stay positive. I went through a similar situation last year and going into bitcoin full time has been life changing. Look forward to chatting soon.
