And I mean, for better or for worse, I have a fiat job right now. It's not a choice made from the heart, but from necessity, and as unproductive and uninspiring as it is from my personal standpoint, it is better than the alternative - which is - to starve and be homeless.
#V4V is nascent, most people haven't found #nostr and if they have - they don’t really zap much, #Bitcoin is still seen as a speculative and/or savings asset only - a circular economy as such seems to not really exist yet.
And in all honesty, if I was really providing as much value to people as I hoped and thought I would, I'd probably have found a way to at least support myself from doing so.
Alas, I haven't, and alas, the grind continues. Mining the fiat, buidling the Bitcoin infrastructure, shining the light in the darkness.
The road less travelled is not for the faint of heart.
One step at a time,
Onward.
