Most people don't need to work in bitcoin.
The actual viable bitcoin industry is microscopic and much of it has been commodotized. You have mining, hardware, exchanges, and custody. That's it. Pretty much everything else is a gimmick or some deep tech L2 of unknown future.
Open source tech and huge profit margins don't exactly go together. The community doesn't tolerate rent-seeking and many companies in the space are unstable.
Unless you absolutely gotta do it or you're a technical wizard, you're likelier better off earning steady cash flow in the fiat mines

Interesting take. I also think there is another avenue which is Lightning Enabled apps, where there is still a lot of opportunity. Like SN.
