Don't underestimate how much people value stable employment. I think permanent employment contracts will always be a thing.
I agree that we'll likely see more of the workforce in contractor type arrangements, rather than employee, but I don't attribute that to bitcoin. Maybe bitcoin pushes in that direction too, though.
100%. We have gone from:
- Lifetime job
- 10 year career
- 2 year stints
- Gig economy & project work
It is certainly easier to extrapolate the same trend. But who is to say that Bitcoin won't actually reverse it and bring back longer-term work? Given that you may be working more and more with people that you connect deeper with. If you're being paid well also... people may not be motivated to and be constantly needing to switch roles to keep up with monetary debasement.

Exactly. That labor trend might just be another fiat distortion.
