I disagree. A bitcoin standard eliminates unproductive jobs. Influencers may still exist, but not as a necessity or as a way to earn bitcoin. To be clear, I believe people will be working only productive jobs that advance humanity, while working a smaller percentage of their life than their parents. How do you influence others when they’re working 20 hours a week and their life only improves?

I don’t disagree. Under a Bitcoin standard, as you said, only productive jobs with real value will exist. That’s what I mean when I say, “we can debate the merits of what qualifies as a fiat job.” Most influencers are indeed fiat influencers and would naturally disappear under a Bitcoin standard. That said, some will remain. We already see examples of this on Nostr. I’d consider @Nostr News Network a Nostr influencer—they curate content and publish it for us to see, and we zap them for it. If we continue to find value in what they provide, we’ll continue zapping them. Then again, maybe we simply have different interpretations of what an influencer actually is.
