Don’t Quit Your Fiat Job – Change The Money, Not The Industry

There’s some folks who believe that to “work in Bitcoin,” you need to leave your current profession and find a job with a Bitcoin company. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to quit your fiat job, to work in Bitcoin. All you need to do is quit fiat.
The real transformation happens when we changed the money from fiat to Bitcoin. When you stop thinking in fiat terms, and instead start measuring, saving, and transacting in sats.
So, don’t worry if you’re not writing code for a certain Bitcoin tool or managing infrastructure at a Bitcoin startup. That’s not the only path. If you’re providing real value in your community, you’re already doing work that matters. The only thing left is to get out of fiat and get into the real money.
Think about it this way: the “Bitcoin ndustry it is the foundation of the future economy, and that future is happening now. Just like the internet became part of every industry. We don’t need everyone to flock into a handful of Bitcoin companies. All we need is, everyone to bring Bitcoin into their daily trade, their businesses, and their communities.
I think that’s the real revolution, we all are looking forward to: a teacher accepting sats for tutoring sessions, a farmer selling crops for Bitcoin, a local craftsman pricing goods in sats, a local groceries store accepting sats via LN payments. Every job becomes a Bitcoin job when you change the money.
The hardest part isn’t learning a new industry, but it’s rather breaking free from the mindset that your only option is fiat.
So don’t quit your fiat job. Keep doing what you’re good at. But stop doing it for fiat. Start doing it for Bitcoin ( a tool for: freedom, peace, love, hope, care and responsibility), which isn't just about figures. That’s how we all win.

Quit fiat, not your job.

The quit fiat part is a massive hurdle for most when mortgage, taxes, and groceries can't be paid in Bitcoin yet

You can always convert part of your credit score to BTC, but that comes with it's own complications.

Your post is perfect.
I've never heard of anyone trying to leave a fiat job for Bitcoin. If that exists, they're running over a horse with the cart. My main goal is the same as you described: working for sats, introducing Bitcoin to local merchants. I understand that Bitcoin's success depends on people using it as money.
