This:
Often, when I speak with everyday Bitcoiners — plebs, if you will — they share with me that they’re torn between carrying on with their “fiat job” and getting more involved in the Bitcoin space on a professional level
You don't have to do that.
In fact, working in and for bitcoin is very arduous... strange, fast-paced world, filled with gut-wrenching price falls right after being paid (#873594) and the trouble jumping between fiat and Bitcoinland (#852354).
Corva has you covered:
instead of feeling that you have to drop whatever you’re doing for work to join the Bitcoin industry full-time, consider being a bridge to Bitcoin and bringing the Bitcoin industry to what you’re already doing.
Just add bitcoin to what you're currently selling. Or better yet, keep mining fiat and shovel that shit into our lovely orange coin. That's perfectly fine too.
