GigaBTC 🌽⚡️🔑 on Nostr: So I did something I thought I would never do; I took a regular job and am no longer ...
So I did something I thought I would never do; I took a regular job and am no longer self employed. A strange feeling for me because I’ve worked for myself since 2008.
Why? Because the path I chose since 2017 mining #Bitcoin requires a lot of capital and I was spending most of my time developing sites and raising money. It gets frustrating trying to convince those with fiat resources that they should invest in mining.
Along the way I met the owner of a large multi-site landfill operation. The goal was to mine Bitcoin on the waste methane from the landfills. It took years and the impacts of Covid to orange pill him.
I am now the lead for all information technology in the organization and we are going to mine Bitcoin on the landfills. I don’t have to raise money because I have the budget.
I would have had a hard time returning to a “normal” job without Bitcoin mining being a part of my work. I am excited and also nervous about what the future holds. Thanks to all the plebs who helped and tried to help along the way.
