#bearmarketbuilders

Excited to start regular Bitcoin Builder Calls in our POW Lab!

Hardly any of our members are regular job seekers - everyone has a Bitcoin side project they’re working on. But many do this in isolation and miss regular exchange with other builders from around the world. Tomorrow that changes 🧡

Learn more about the POW Lab here: https://bitvocation.com/pow-lab

#Jobtober is live! If you want to learn how to stop chasing jobs and take daily tiny actions to become FINDABLE instead, join us!

Day one was released this morning and all the daily challenges will be posted on our blog and in our Jobtober Telegram channel, so you can just follow there. https://t.me/jobtober

“Voice notes are the most selfish form of communication.”

Finally someone saying it out loud! (My friends know not to send me voice notes 😄)

Have you noticed how many people have become really bad at conversation? Is it because people are simply not used to sharing air time with another party anymore, and prefer monologues instead?

As the other party - it’s exhausting to constantly be cut off and talked over.

What Could Change in Your Bitcoin Career in 21 Days?

The Bitcoin network is under constant attack, as the recent Coldcard hack and Liquid Network incidents have shown. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated, with increasingly powerful tools at their disposal. That means those of us who hold bitcoin also need to become more sophisticated about how we protect it, and use the right tools to do so.

⚡⚡⚡

We’re happy to welcome

back as a #Jobtober sponsor for the second year!

If you’ve been thinking about how to strengthen your Bitcoin security, 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗩𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 is worth taking a look at. Their approach combines tools like multisig and time-delayed transactions to add additional protection against theft, hacking and physical coercion.

Here’s 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗩𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 in their own words:

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝗲𝘆𝘀. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀.

Protect your Bitcoin against hackers, theft and physical coercion with time-delayed transactions, multisig setup and btc-protocol enforced self-custody. Compatible with Hardware Wallets.

We're welcoming

back as a #Jobtober sponsor and we're super grateful they're supporting us for the second time!

I'm not sure many people understand what they're doing, so let me give you the pitch:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Not everyone learns by reading. Some people understand an idea much faster when they can hear someone talk it through. And for Bitcoin, where the concepts can get pretty complex, that matters.

That’s why I like what 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙! is doing.

They’re a 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗮𝘀-𝗮-𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲. You give them your website, an article, a video, a book, or other material, and they turn it into an engaging AI-generated audio conversation.

Of course, nobody is eager to follow "AI influencers" or listen to a bunch of bots talking. But the goal isn't to build a successful podcast. It’s to create an 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 that you can:

→ embed on your About page → add alongside your written content → share on social media → give your audience another way to understand what you do

And there’s another nice layer to it: your episode can also live in 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥 - 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙!'s Bitcoin podcast feed - alongside other educational Bitcoin content.

So you're not just putting an AI-generated conversation on your website and hoping someone listens. You're creating something that can become part of an actual content ecosystem.

For businesses, founders, authors and project builders, I think this is an interesting addition to the Findability toolbox:

𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱.

If you're a Bitcoiner who loves learning, 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥 is worth checking out!

I find myself listening to it a lot, I don't care whether i'm listening to bots, as long as they are engaging and break down complex topics really well. I am definitely their target group (and apparently a large part of their audience is female). To me, their episodes are tutorials.

𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙! don't only do Bitcoin content, but they are proper Bitcoiners - so much so that they only have a presence here on Nostr. So please give them a follow and share their content, or this post, so they can grow their account a bit. It's a small way to support a sponsor that's helping us make #Jobtober happen.

And if you have something worth explaining, let 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙! turn it into something people can listen to.

Book your episode here: https://podcasted.carrd.co/ Follow and share here on Nostr: nostr:nprofile1qyg8wumn8ghj7m3wwa5kuem49eek2qg5waehxw309ahx7um5wghrzumpwshx7un8qqs8g8fthzzanulkmhrzhyhrslgz39d7lmuc72q5e9sgvw0a4f43rkcs4wwcu Follow and listen on

Very happy that

has joined us as #Jobtober sponsor.

At #Bitvocation we're very careful to only work with aligned sponsors that offer what our community actually needs.

Most of our community members aren't typical jobseekers. We notice this especially in our #POWLab. They are all builders of some sort. Everyone is working on an app or a service or an educational programme. But often it's hard to get a project off the ground, when you're not a developer, or you don't have the funds to pay one.

That's where #2BuildLaunch comes in - a very new company with a very different business model.

#2BuildLaunch builds #Bitcoin ventures with you. You bring the idea, market insight, and network. They bring the team to build and launch it, with no upfront investment required.

Instead of hiring developers, you build together and share the upside through their Proof of Work Equity model.

They’re Bitcoiners too, and they love turning good ideas from fellow Bitcoiners into businesses that solve real problems.

Contact them to discuss your idea here: https://btcjobs.bitvocation.com/2bl

Give them a follow to say Thank You for helping us make Jobtober free 🙏

What exactly is #FINDABILITY? And how do you make opportunities come to you instead of having to wish for them?

We're going to explore all of this over the coming weeks leading up to - and especially during - #Jobtober.

https://open.substack.com/pub/bitvocation/p/can-they-find-you

Gm ☀️

Your network, your reputation, your proof of work - that’s what it’s all about. This is what creates FINDABILITY.

I think this Moonshot Mate might be following the #Bitvocation blog… ;)

If you’re looking for work in #Bitcoin, join us for #Jobtober and learn how to become findable by the recruiters and potential clients looking for you. It’s free!

Stay strong friends. What doesn’t kill us…

Nooo! 🙈

Some songs should be left alone and respected the way they are without ever trying to copy them 😩

Tons of #Bitcoin events coming up in September, and we’re getting ready for #Jobtober!! 🚀

https://open.substack.com/pub/bitvocation/p/jobtober-is-coming-back

Good explanation!

Gm ☀️

Looks almost like real bread! And tastes delicious! Not bad for a first attempt 😊

I was today years old when I leaned how to make bread.. Let’s see how the first attempt will turn out… 🤞

Really useful ELI5 style explanation. Worth watching!

Very happy that we already have 3 committed sponsors for our upcoming 2026 edition of #Jobtober.

Building a business is not easy, especially in Bitcoin. Especially in a bear market. Especially with bad news trying to knock our community out. But every year we have stronger relationships and things are becoming a tiny bit easier.

The Bitcoin community can't be knocked out that easily. We all just keep going back to work after the initial shock. What else are we going to do?

The mission hasn't changed. We are still early. We'll do better from now on.

Relationships are one of our most important assets. You think Bitcoin is important? You think time is more important than Bitcoin? What are you going to do with either of them, without relationships?

Whether you’re building a life, a business or a career - you need good relationships. And it all starts with letting other people know that you exist.

During #Jobtober, we help Bitcoiners make themselves more visible, so they can become better #findable by the people (clients, recruiters, builders) who are looking for them. We help them come "online" as human nodes on the Bitcoin network and build quality connections with other nodes.

Building your reputation, showing your proof of work, and nurturing relationships is essential for that.

There's plenty of skilled Bitcoiners in the space, but many of them are invisible. When you're looking for work in Bitcoin, sending your CV around as a stranger is the least likely way to be successful. Building your support network and becoming visible will set you up for "being found".

That's what we teach during Jobtober. For free. To anyone in the world.

If you have a Bitcoin startup or brand that could also use a little more visibility, and you’re offering something that our audience is interested in, collaborate with us as a Jobtober sponsor. Let's have a chat and start a relationship!

It’s very affordable and you’re going to help Bitcoin builders find other builders, so our whole ecosystem can become more resilient.

Initial details here, and we can share more if it's of interest: https://blog.bitvocation.com/p/sponsor-jobtober-2026-help-make-bitcoin

Jobtober will live here: jobtober.com

Maybe the maximalism can be a little less toxic from now on, now that everyone has been humbled. HFSP is suddenly not a funny meme anymore.

#roadtrip ☀️🚗🐶🐶🐶

Imagine living in a world of abundance, collaboration and compassion, where everyone has enough active and passive income streams, and no one feels the need to steal other people’s life savings…

Not great to wake up to bad news like this in our industry.

I used to work for a wallet provider and got to witness first hand how much money people lost on a daily basis. But it was due to ignorance about private keys, not because of wallet security issues. While devastating, at least those people could own their mistakes and book it under "the most expensive lesson of my life. I'll do better from now on."

But in the Coldcard case, it seems people were informed and believed they did everything right, and still lost it all...

Not a great day for our community.

🫂

If you're running a #Bitcoin business from Europe, you've probably noticed that accepting bitcoin payments has become considerably more complicated as the final MiCA transition deadline passed in July.

We've been a happy #Strike customer in Europe until July, but it's become so bad that we have to leave Strike, because their API simply doesn't work for us anymore and automated payments are completely out the window.

We basically have to "attest" every incoming payment before it gets credited, which disrupts the payment process (and the whole purpose of lightning fast payments) and the customer ends up getting an error on their side until we entered the required KYC info about them. This is the case even for zaps of 21 sats or less. It's ridiculous. (I assume the same thing would happen with any other custodian.) The problem is that a) we do not have the info we're supposed to enter about our customers, and b) we consider it none of our business.

To solve this, we have now registered #Bitvocation in Wyoming, U.S., to be able to transact more freely in bitcoin and remove all that unnecessary friction (and maybe become a Strike U.S. customer).

I had thought of doing this years ago, but the process of registering a business in the U.S. as a foreigner seemed way too bureaucratic and tedious (and required sending a fax - yes really!!) So I never did it.

But with this new motivation and necessity I looked into it again and found Bizee.com - a registration agent - and the whole thing went surprisingly smooth and fast!

I know many of our European Bitvocation followers might be in the same situation and have side businesses that need a legal home - so I just wanted to share and recommend this agent.

Depending on what your situation is, there might be many other benefits to having a business in the U.S., so it's worth looking into. For me, as a digital nomad, it solves a lot friction, and it gives my business a home, while I don't have one.

Bizee.com was recommended to me, so I don't seem to be the only happy customer. Check it out, if you need a reliable solution for your business.

-- PS - We also have a referral tracking link, if you're happy for us earn a little commission and support Bitvocation this way ---> http://btcjobs.bitvocation.com/bizee)

No email signup. No personality test. No generic career advice.

Just a practical starting point for your #Bitcoin career.

The further Bitcoiners fall down the rabbit hole, the more they ask themselves,

“Do I really want to spend most of my waking hours contributing to a system I no longer believe in?”

Time to rewrite your career…?

I have restored "default feeds" even though I never made custom feeds. No change.

Any ideas how to fix this, or did every other account simply stop posting? 🤣
