I find this article uninformed and fairly misguided.

first of all there is no such thing as bitcoin jobs. Half of the article is dancing around the fact that most "bitcoin" companies are startups. some might have some of their treasury in bitcoin. Some offer payment in bitcoin. All of the have the same problems as every startup under the sun. And most have more problems due to the cyclicality of bitcoin.

The only difference (potentially, its far from the only industry where people want to work in it due to being passionate about something) is that a lot of people in this industry and either already independently rich and have companies because they want to do something in the space since they are bitcoiners or people who take significant pay cuts because they want to work on something they believe in vs random corporate job.

Also the insistence of "it needs to be a real job" is laughable. If anything the thing that could really enable cool "bitcoin" jobs is novel ways people could cooperate and coordinate without the need of permission of the state. the need of some bureaucrat telling you how a commercial transaction between two willing parties must look and what a company looks like. It is basically saying "i'm disappointed because I cannot get paid market rates in bitcoin while having all the social security and other nanny state benefits and promised income until I retire".

This article should've been one paragraph at best if at all exist.
