Bitcoin literally needs you. We need more people writing code, experimenting with it, just having fun. You don't need to start a company. You don't need a brilliant idea. If you don't know how to start, read the code and submit bug fixes for the software you're already using.

Even if you can't code, there are so many more ways to help than code. Be helpful in forums and improve documentation.

For those that do not have the time or skill to code, it would be great to have a market to hire engineers to fix the bugs and add features that are desired to software they are using. This free market can only exist for free software projects. OpenSats and others are providing that, which is great. I think it could be even more direct and advanced and help to determine the priorities of engineering efforts based on the most desired and wanted features.

“You don’t need to start a company” This x100. It’s likely another side effect of fiat but every idea doesn’t need $5mm and a cap table.

I want to learn how to work and contribute to this environment, and freedom tech in general, but the chasm is wide, and I haven't found a lot of resources to learn. I'm a lawyer with an economics background, I've owned crypto for over 10 years, I know light programming and web development. I've read books on tokenomics and DeFi....but getting to the point where I'm building lightning apps and other things that the Madeira crowd is doing...I don't know how to get to that point, and I haven't found many resources that try to teach beyond the basics of blockchain/basic languages/etc. I have the time, resources, and desire. But getting to the next step...I don't know where it is.

When #BTC was at $25k in August and September of last year, you recall how it seemed like it could only go down, not up. right? Right now, it seems like #Bitcoin can only go up and not down. Yes, the market is just going through its normal motion. Joining the RCL Vip Newsletter group is highly recommended if you haven't already:

Yeah, bounties could be a part of this, however these may be more useful for things more open ended like security disclosures. Hiring someone specific, to add a feature or to fix a bug could be better so that multiple people do not accidently work on it, and there is a degree of quality that is expected from the work. This I think is more towards contract work, however groups of people can all pool money for the job, possibly.
