What happened

Three bitcoin-industry employees (Coinbits and Relai) lay out a five-step path into bitcoin work: learn the industry, establish a brand, create proof of work, network hard, and follow up. Concrete suggestions include Saylor Academy's free Bitcoin for Everyone course, three 'hard books', contributing to open-source projects, organizing meetups, and building a portfolio by working for free. They warn that generalists are 'a dime a dozen' and that the industry is desperate for specialists in domains like mining, lightning, custody or banking.
