Going to help to one of my friend for buy bitcoin in person. He just started to learn about bitcoin 2-3 months ago but already changed most of his fiat saving to bitcoin. I always amaze on people who are so open for new things. He is one of them. He called me few months ago that "I remember you said some cool things about bitcoin and although I don't really know what it is after all it made sense. Don't you wanna meet one day to discuss how this works". Obviously I did not rejected to meet with him and introduce hime to Bitcoin. I really enjoyed the meeting especially the first one because he was so open to listen and try to understand. The end of our first meeting I told him that do not trust anything what I said. Go on, dig deep, do your own research and verify the things which I said. He liked that and he quickly started to do his own research. Few weeks later he calls me again. I pick up the phone then he says "you know what?! This bitcoin thing makes lot of sense. This is something that I am searching for since long time. I loving this options that I can verify things. I am in! How can I buy some bitcoins?(he means sats🤣)". Since then he can not resist to send messages everyday about how cool this thing is. HE IS GOING DOWN IN THE RABBIT HOLE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Loving to witness this

Hiring is hard. Based on my own experience and talking to others, I take some solace in the fact that even the best still never get it right every time. I would hazard to guess it's like baseball, where if you're batting .300 that's still pretty damn good.

Is it possible the terms of the contract may have skewed the outcome? In other words, were candidates less motivated to give their best effort because the outcome was uncertain? In your defense, I also would expect people to do their absolute best to secure the best chance of landing the full-time job, but it sounds like the uncertainty led some people to keep one foot out the door so to speak, and keep exploring other options for themselves as a hedge. It makes a lot of sense but I would not have factored that in ahead of time if I had been in your shoes.

Some of this reminds me of the behavior of consultants, where making short-term wins usually takes priority over the long-term goals of the client. And while a consultant always has an eye on selling more work to the client long-term, the reality is they'll always be playing the field for the best opportunity available.

One question: did you use references at all? In my experience that has usually been the most valuable source of info for making a hiring decision.

Such an interesting account, thanks so much for sharing.

Just a pleb here spitballing, the Fedi devs have confirmed they have the containers to potentially launch Fedimint as an app on node in a box devices like Umbrel or start9. Imagine launching a fedimint for your family, friends, or social group. I love the idea of me and a few others in my family serving as the Uncle Jims to a family bitcoin treasury. Hello generational wealth that is instantly distributed geographically and across multiple people and devices.
Mutiny and other wallets will eventually deploy fedimints, allowing offline lightning receives (among other things). Imagine sats drop into the federation while you are offline and then when you come back online they drop into your Mutiny or other wallet. Now if you have a self custodial wallet if you are offline and someone tries to send you sats and you don't come online in time you just miss those sats. Problem solved (of course with some tradeoffs, nothing is perfect).
Worried about a government crackdown, $5 wrench attacked, and youre more than tin foil hat type? Have a family, friends, or other trusted social group form a fedimint stash without a trusted custodian. Collaborative multisig has some great benefits, but maybe you don't want to dox the amount of bitcoin to a company that could be forced to turn over a private key, xpubs, etc. This could be especially great if you have family or friends in different countries.
Just some of my first pleb ideas.

I don’t think they are shitcoins. Contrary to the belief you need dollars to get goods and services. Most shitcoins are worthless only bought to get more usd why? To buy things!.

If I offered everyone who voted yes $1 million USD or one million XRP tokens everyone would choose the USD. Why?

Because we all still need USD!

Shoot you use this voted upon shitcoin to buy bitcoin.

Until people stop accepting USD for payment of goods and services it will never be a shitcoin.

Don’t let the politics and the fraud lead you to believe the usd is not serviceable in any way like 100% of the shitcoins you see on coinmarket cap.

I believe the usd will turn shitcoin when no one wants it for goods and services. Until then I refuse to call something a shitcoin that has tangleable value in the real world.

Shitcoins are worthless. If you think you USD is worthless then send it to me and I’ll buy food, energy, water, and bitcoin with your shitcoin usd.
