I still cannot repost long form articles, but it does now work if I quote-repost long form articles ... which is fine ... I can work with that, but it has got me thinking a bit harder about relays.

"Keep stacking skills and experiences, not just sats."

quoting
naddr1qv…95mj

Data.

For some, maybe even for most of us, just boring spreadsheets and endless stats you'd either ignore or simply scroll past without any real engagement.

For others, it's a goldmine of hidden patterns that can shape how we 'approach' the world.

If you're reading this, I probably don't need to convince you that the hyper-connected era we're living in is fundamentally defined by data. The invisible architecture steering human decisions, big and small. But I'm not here to get us stuck in the doom and gloom, so let me skip any deeper insights on the “digital goldmines”—too often twisted and weaponized against us—the very people who generate it.

Instead, let's flip the script:

When handled ethically (collected with consent, analyzed with care, and shared transparently, etc.) data stops exploiting and starts empowering. It becomes a force for good, guiding us toward purposeful actions and lighting up opportunities we might otherwise overlook.

In the Bitcoin space, data isn't just numbers, and sure, it isn't the weapon aimed at its users. It’s more like a practical roadmap. A way to, for example, finally build a career that fits your inner-values and passions.

And really, the data is only part of the story. Just the surface.

Deep down, it’s actually about building a future where your work feels meaningful, not like a daily compromise.

For many Bitcoiners, there often comes a moment when they realize that just stacking sats through side hustles or swapping fiat isn't quite enough anymore. They begin craving something more: a genuine connection where Bitcoin becomes their main source of income, not just a side gig or hobby.

It’s the moment when posting on Nostr, scrolling X (or whatever “platform”), and even having great chats at meetups and conferences starts to feel like surface-level stuff. What really pulls us in is actually building in the ecosystem. Contributing real work—and getting paid for it—so we can feel satisfaction of a livelihood aligned with our convictions.

The catch?

Still a persistent myth that lingers—both in mainstream media and in 'our circles' too—that jobs in this space are hyper-technical, and reserved for coding wizards. The unspoken message: "Don't bother applying; it's out of reach."

Well, prepare to have that notion shattered. The reality is far more accessible and diverse than you might think.

From HODL to Hire Me

The data makes that clear. Back in 2024, Bitvocation—a project I've mentioned before in my texts, a go-to hub for "orange-pilled" individuals seeking new careers—released its very first Bitcoin Job Market Report.

Actually, the very first report of its kind ever produced.

Back then, drawing from 1,707 unique listings, last year alone showed a whopping 69% in non-developer roles. We're talking product managers, accountants, graphic designers, community builders, marketers, and more. Over 1,000 positions that could build on skills many of us already have from our non-Bitcoin jobs.

Now, fast-forward to the latest report, since the second edition is out.

Bitvocation's Annual Deep Dive into Job Data & Employer Insights

Promising trends and some interesting surprises point to a maturing ecosystem.

Let’s look at the key numbers:

+6% in total unique job listings year-over-year, quite steady expansion; from 1,707 to 1,801.

+5% rise in Bitcoin-only roles, now making up 47% of all postings; by the way, with an impressive +19% month-to-month growth compared to past trends from 2024, pointing to a shift toward purer, Bitcoin-focused opportunities.

Consistent trend in remote Bitcoin-only positions (809 in total), reflecting the decentralized ethos itself and making it easier for global talent to plug in without relocating.

Now! You might wonder:

What kinds of roles dominate this landscape?

How do they match my background?

And finally, what are the TOP BITCOIN-ONLY COMPANIES hiring?

To start, here’s a screenshot covering the last point.

As for the remaining two (roles and skillset): Well, the data shows non-dev jobs still hold strong (over 70%, and nicely diversified), spanning sectors like mining operations, media and content creation, design, marketing, education, and general ops.

From entry-level positions and unpaid internships to mid-senior spots, there’s a spectrum I believe most of you can find something fitting:

The bottom line?

Bitcoin isn't just a protocol, but a living ecosystem. It needs builders in every sense of the word—including storytellers, educators, designers, accountants, salespeople, analysts, organizers, artists, HRs, and different types of 'operators'—just as much as it needs engineers and technical experts.

As the network grows, so does the need for its "human layer". A diverse mix of talents turning code into culture and ideas into actual results.

As Anja nicely put it: “Bitcoin is a network, a community, and (for now) a parallel economy. I believe the Bitcoin job market only works when it's aligned with that reality.”

HERE is the link to the full 2025 report, with all the details, like company breakdowns, location trends, and more: BITCOIN JOBS 2025: THE YEAR IN REVIEW.

Anyway, the goal here is just to pique your interest and share the good news: as Bitcoin continues maturing and gaining strength, the job market built around it isn’t shrinking either.

A quick and IMPORTANT note:

I'm not saying that landing one of these jobs is a walk in the park just because you understand Bitcoin.

Opportunities are real, but seizing them demands upfront effort: your "Proof of Work".

By the way!

Especially cool part of the recent data published by Bitvication?

To complement the job market report, they ran a small qualitative employer survey to better understand how Bitcoin companies experienced hiring in 2025. Though fewer than 20 companies responded, I still found the insights presented very interesting (see slides 28–29, and a deeper dive in this article: “Culture, Agency, and Proof of Work: Lessons from Bitcoin Employers in 2025”).

So, if you're quietly miserable in your fiat grind, daydreaming about Bitcoin-aligned work while telling yourself it's a fantasy—please stop. Nothing is impossible ;)

But. Whatever path you choose, own it fully. PLEASE make sure it is YOUR decision—the one that aligns with your gut, not fleeting hype or outside influence (mine included).

Finally...

To wrap it up, a motto that carried me through my own professional transitions: 'Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.'

Cliché? Not really.

Look closer: It's a solid reminder to find fulfillment over obligation, in Bitcoin or beyond.

So, cheers to all of us in 2026! May we focus on what ignites our passion, building lives of freedom and purpose.

Keep stacking skills and experiences, not just sats.

I have been meaning to look into it. I have been noticing that on some clients relays are broken down into categories ... like read and write. So yeah, i can believe that it looks like a tangled mess of ignorant patchwork. The info you shared on the Basspistol relay also had some relay specific optimization ... it seemed, for GROUPS and INBOXING or MESSAGING DIRECTLY OR something. It looked good so i logged in. Oh yeah, I remember. It is optimized for video and streaming, i think. 🔥 Awesomeness! I will definitely check this out🙌 . Much appreciated

Lots of learning while exploring the Nostrverse again, today.
I love that my login is seamless across clients!
I am still figuring out Nostube,
but at least I used it again today and uploaded another video.
Its like a quiet YouTube
without a recommendation algorithm
Then, while I was poking around
I discovered this great video
that I probably would not have found
any other way ...
and now I'm learning about c4a39f1291291d452405cd8ddd798c4a29a3858c52cd0d843f1f6852cf17682e (nprofile…3uf3)

Oh, yes, absolutely. I did see that this interview is from a year ago. But it was especially relevant for me, since I was getting away from mainstream social media about 3 months back, and decided to try Mastodon ... but it was slow and clunky and not too intuitive, i guess ... but it got me used to the idea of decentralization.

My pleasure! It was your article that sparked my curiosity and was so cool to discover this interview. Its amazing what you are doing in terms of building and fostering communities and opportunities, but also in terms of education around these technologies and concepts like digital citizenship, privacy and sovereignty. As a newcomer this was really helpful information. And as an artist and musician it was really cool to see authenticity and humility in a world dominated by isolation and self-interest and greed. So yes! Absolutely inspiring! 🔥 Keep up the great work! 🙌

Great Article! 💥 So much food for thought. Thank you.🙌

I am still new here, but Nostr keeps blowing my mind.
The experience is so different from mainstream social media.
I keep discovering new tools and functionality and though some
things are cumbersome, for the most part this place is teeming
with possibilities and opportunities ...
and cool people doing cool things.
Most recently I discovered setto (nprofile…9uku)
Not only did he write the brilliant article for Dyne.org (nprofile…jw6y)
but as it turns out he is also a multifaceted musician and entrepreneur who runs the innovative Basspistol platform.

Setto shares his journey from graphic designer to musician,
revealing how his passion for electronic music led him to create a community-driven space for artists, as well as the challenges and rewards involved in promoting independent music through self-hosted and federated platforms like PeerTube.

Emphasizing the importance of community and collaboration,
he dives into the concept of digital literacy and the political implications of choosing free and open-source software over mainstream platforms.

quoting naddr1qv…3kum

I. THE DIAGNOSIS OF A GHOST

Look around you. Not at the screen in your hand, but at the world. Do you feel it? That gnawing hollow in the chest. A sensation that the levers of reality are pulled by hands you will never shake, in rooms you will never enter. You are not alone in this feeling. It is a silent epidemic of our age.

We are connected in more ways than any chapter of known history, yet we have never been so profoundly alienated from power. The political class speaks a language of technocratic etiquette, a closed loop that sounds intelligent but means nothing. The corporate class operates in a dimension of pure velocity, where capital crosses oceans in a millisecond, accountable to no flag, no people, no land. And then there is us. The everyday. The decisions that shape our air, our labor, our food, and our peace feel handed down like a script we never auditioned for.

But the feeling of powerlessness is not a final sentence. It is the spark. To feel like a ghost is to recognize that you have been severed from your body.

The cure is not to haunt the world, but to repossess it.

II. THE CARTOGRAPHY OF DIVISION

Lines were drawn on a map of our minds. We became virtuosos of difference. We can now slice humanity into a thousand shards of identity, nationality, religion, ideology. We are experts at detecting a threat in a stranger’s eyes, a heresy in a neighbor’s flag, or an enemy in a different postal code. We have confused the noble act of discerning right from wrong with a cheap instinct. To a point where the categorization of us versus them is boiling down to me versus the idiots.

For too long, all the attention has been staring at the cracks on the pavement, obsessing over the tiny separation between one piece of concrete and the next, forgetting that underneath lies a common earth. A fragmented people is a manageable people. Race, gender, generation, nation... When we are busy policing our vertical differences, we fail to see the single horizontal line drawn by the powerful on the powerless.

Curiosity, diplomacy, these human capacities to cope constructively with the unknown, have been replaced by surveillance cameras scanning our neighborhoods.

We must admit a painful truth: we are great at building walls.

How good are we at building communion?

III. THE GEOGRAPHY OF POWER

Power has gone global, but conscience has remained local. This is the great asymmetry of the 21st century.

While we clutch our passports and salute our flags, the forces that dictate our destiny have no such loyalty. A financial collapse doesn’t stop at customs. Yet the ultra-powerful oligarchs of data and petro-dollars do not inhabit a country; they inhabit a condition of absolute mobility. They come and go as they please, extracting wealth from one territory and parking it in another, while we, the rooted, are told that walls and razor-wire are the price of our identity.

The nation-state was built to protect the people, but it has become a slave to corporate interest that fuels its economy and a cage that only applies to the powerless. The powerful glide through it like ghosts through a door.

It is time we learned from them! Not to emulate their cynicism, but to match their scale.

IV. THE GLOBAL ALLIANCE OF THE DISINHERITED

The only antidote to a global elite is a global alliance of ordinary people. This is not a call to erase the beauty of local cultures or the love of one’s homeland. This is a call to recognize that our love for our own patch of earth is incomplete unless we defend the earth itself.

This is a call to recognize that our love for our own patch of earth is incomplete unless we defend the earth itself.

We must forge a communion that transcends the artificial boundary. This is the practical spirituality of our time. We must understand that the people in your country and the people in a land you’ve never visited share the same sinking anxiety about tomorrow. We must see that the mother who wants clean water for her child in one continent shares the same primal terror as the mother in another who fears the clouds of war.

We have been tricked into believing that our neighbor is our competitor. This is a lie.

Our common enemy is a logic that treats human potential and earthly abundance as disposable resources.

V. THE FLOOD OF COMMONALITY

The need of the hour is to channel our discontent into a massive flood of hope. This requires a courageous, almost reckless, suspension of immediate prejudice.

We must stop arguing about the fine print and start writing a new contract.

Let us reclaim curiosity. Talk to the person you’ve been taught to suspect. Break bread with the one who votes differently. Not to agree, but to rediscover the sound of a human voice beneath the label. We must shift our staring from the details that separate us to the commonalities that unite us: a desire for dignity, a craving for community, a hunger for a life that feels meaningful, and an ecosystem that survives our presence.

The details are a trap for this historical moment. We are beyond the luxury of perfect ideological purity. We need a broad wave, not a narrow stream. The house is on fire, and we are standing in separate corners arguing about the color of the paint. It is time we formed a bucket brigade. Join with the imperfect, the unsure, the hopeful, and the angry.

The only entry requirement for this future is the belief that things can be better.

VI. THE REBIRTH OF WONDER

Let this text stir your hope. Hope is not a passive waiting; hope is a muscle. It is the courage to knock on a stranger’s door and say, “What do we share?” It is the belief that the future is not a product to be bought, but a story to be written by billions of hands.

This is not a funeral march for a dying world; it is a birth announcement for a new one.

Do not underestimate your own agency. The systems of power are vast and impersonal, but they are brittle. They rust when confronted with the laughter of a united community. They crash when faced with the refusal of millions to play along. Let us step into a larger skin. Let us be curious about the next person. Let us challenge every preconception we hold, because our survival depends on our ability to see ourselves in the other.

We are not asking for a savior. We are looking at each other. You, Them, ourselves. The borders drawn to divide us are lines in the sand, washed away by the rising tide of a humanity that finally remembers it is one.

The emptiness you feel is the space where your powers can grow. The age of isolated powerlessness must end.

GoodMorning indeed 😊 Thanks! Yup, i started looking around after what you said in a post about some people not wanting to click youtube links. So, i started investigating and got Nostube working, but in the end that awkward long-ass link is an annoyance and i kinda feel like there should be a cleaner solution that emulates a youtube link ... you know? But, anyway ... it is a minor issue i suppose. Gotta get more vids on there and keep sharing to improve my trust score on the platform. perhaps it is a nudge in the direction of Reads instead of notes in order to use the markdown that is more elegant. Then tomorrow is the market so i will try that out as well. Yeah, this decentralized tech is awesome. I am loving it here. Hope your weekend was fantastic! Have a brilliant day 🙌 😊

Fuck Ed Sheeran and his cowardice and supposed "neutrality". And as always ... Mad respect for Macklemore and

“Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed,” Finneas posted on Instagram.

In his own statement, Rowe wrote,
“As Irish people we know all too well about genocide,
forced famine, and violent occupation. I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and the savage murder of children. I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal.”

There’s a certain pull when human expression moves across borders. Not just the lines drawn on maps, but the ones we carry within us: shaped by assumptions, habits, judgments — the very weight of lived memories and past experiences… Sure, our culture draws borders for a reason, helping us understand where we come from and how we relate to the world around us. But the real magic happens when creativity begins to redraw them, transforming the familiar into something unexpected; creating new patterns in the ‘here and now’. Sometimes, such moments make history. This June in Belgrade may have been one of them.

See, in the Balkans, music isn't just pure entertainment. It's protest, memory, and celebration, quite often all at once. And though none of the artists at the first edition of revolutionrocks (npub142r…294z) were from that region, the very spirit was there.

While the mainstream turns artists into content and music into background noise, that event brought back the meaning: direct connection, real support, and sound that demands to be felt, not just consumed. That's how it felt at least during the first night…

📅 June 19th. Five acts. Belgrade's historic district and one of its floating clubs, which clearly became the beating heart of the independent scene.

👥 A live audience in the room, and people like me watching online through various Nostr apps.

🎶 Totally different rhythms converging around one important statement:

> The music industry is broken. Artists stream billions of plays and can't pay rent. We're building something different. <

A mission I could sense even from the other side of the screen. And, that's the part I'd like to share with those who missed it.

🎙️ The show began with The Higher Low (npub1jp9…al58) and a handful of his acoustic songs. Honest lyrics paired with catchy melodies that carried themes of strength, truth, and sovereignty.

To see what I mean, check out his catalogue.

🎙️ Then came Joe Martin (npub19r9…eukr) [ϟ♫ EPK Lite ⧉] with his warm voice and story-driven tunes. Young, talented, humble, a rare breed in his style, blending folk and Americana in a way that feels both tender and quietly powerful.

You can find more of that vibe on his latest album, “Alone In Valentine”.

🎙️ After Joe, the energy turned sharper with Longy (npub19pp…p04j) [ϟ♫ EPK Lite ⧉]. His unmistakable punk-rock style and gritty vocals filled the space with an unapologetic edge — timeless sound caught somewhere between grief and euphoria. As expected, it was a top-class performance!

Meanwhile, Aaron of Essex (npub1c39…2lhm) the MC of the event, was warming up the crowd with unique intros and announcements. With his magnetic temperament and significant contribution to the v4v scene (having onboarded more artists than most of us could keep track of), he was the perfect fit for the role.

🎙️ But it was Scardust (npub1xyk…56xr) the headliner, progressive metal band fronted by NoaGruman (npub1dqu…p94g) who really set the evening on fire. Drawing from both older tracks and songs from their recent album “Souls”, they filled the floating stage with wide-ranging vocals, powerful riffs, and a relentless force.

The crowd got into it almost instantly, headbanging and moving hard, while online the chat exploded with comments and bigger tips flowing in like confetti.

By the way, speaking of tips, the venue choice fit the event perfectly. Not only because of its rootsy, almost rebellious aesthetic mixed with retro old-school charm, but also because of the name itself. Coincidence or not, “Zappa Barka”. Here, for those who don’t know, in the v4v music space direct tips to artists are often called “zaps” 😉

The goal for the evening was to reach one million in sats — the smallest units of bitcoin, equal roughly $700. It’s a decent number, yes, but events like this, with five live acts at once, deserve way moooooore. Truly hoping future events in this style will exceed that mark easily.

Anyway…moving on with the lineup:

🎙️ After the raw intensity of Scardust, Roger9000 (npub1wxg…svzl) [ϟ♫ EPK Lite ⧉] took over with his electronic sound. In theory it was a sharp contrast, but in practice it still carried its own kind of fire.

The opening track, "Kyrie", a hypnotic remake of one of his older pieces, created a striking shift and sent a wave of goosebumps through the room.

What followed was more dynamic, the very hits that define his sound, getting the remaining crowd jumping, singing, and dancing along.

In true Roger fashion, his immersive visuals and volcanic energy kept the very spirit of the night alive until the very end — drawing plenty of "awe comments" and a new wave of zaps that helped push toward that one million goal.

I couldn't stay for the DJ set (it was already very late), but I imagine it gave the people who were there in person a nice way to chill after everything that happened earlier.

Huge congratulations to the organizers, the whole production crew, and every musician who made that night what it was.

Electric. Memorable. Authentic.

Indeed: REVOLUTION ROCKS.

Extra love to AviBurra (npub1hqa…t56s) New Music Nudge Unit (npub1ztz…7zxv) OpenMike (npub1a6c…lfrr) lahavcliffshark (npub1y3a…u0x3) Edo, Toni, and all the unnamed heroes (i.e. anyone else I'm not aware of) for bringing it all together.

Can't wait for the next editions!!!
