You misunderstood the WHOLE point of my answer. I gave you a superior idea to think of, not just a meaningless job. But yeah, keep thinking in small things, not sure where you will end up.

The "make something" part most likely requires me to 1: invent something groundbreaking and ask BTC for it, or 2: start a business and offer a service or product for BTC, both of which are inherently difficult and risky.

I certainly don't want to be a business owner; I've seen the stress it can cause by people, and how horribly wrong it can go.

You don't need to invent something 'groundbreaking' in order to have a business - you just need to make or do something that others will trade value for, and charge bitcoin for it.

2: start a business and offer a service or product for BTC, both of which are inherently difficult and risky

bitcoin and entrepreneurship go hand in hand. almost every major company involved in the BTC space was made by people leaving their fiat job to build.

i see the sarcasm tag but it got me thinking:

maybe source components for people to build their own seedsigners & sell for BTC? they're off the shelf components, and also can be used for other things as well.

become a small parts electronics store selling products?

Hm, maybe I could sell some "best-practices" starter-kits? Something along those lines?

That could be an option, and especially timely considering the bull market. Write a bit about why these particular choices were made, and now you have blog posts for SEO to direct people towards your store. At a minimum, you'd be supporting what you'd believe to be best practices and helping new people get started on the right path.

I certainly don't want to be a business owner;

This might still be true after you do all of this - but it'd definitely be something to put on your resume if/when you decide to work for others as an employee.

Then again: those kind of "bundles" aren't something new, and can be bought bg already established stores.
