 I can respect the ethos of the #nostronly crowd but for those of us who aren’t independently bitcoin wealthy (yet) nor have a bitcoiner job (yet), LinkedIn and other platforms often serve as a brand building tool to purely remain gainfully employed.

@ODELL @jack @jack mallers @NVK hire me and I’ll gladly give up LinkedIn where I thoughtfully serve my 2,400 followers (I know impressive right 😉). 
 What you building that makes you hireable? Any PoW to point to? 
 Only physical buildings. Was in field operations as a project manager for 8 years in commercial construction before getting into sales and helped build a small VC firm using my domain expert to analyze construction tech companies coming into the market.  Now I sell.  

Let me know if you’re in the market for any BIM/VDC services 😉. 
 Any chance you're good at being "in charge of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC)."
If so, slide into the DMs 
 no. 

i am so sorry, but very respectfully,
do not give up a damn thing for them

this isnt a hostage situation
they dont know anymore than you do about anything at all. 
 I hear that! I do procurement for a high tech hardware manufacturer, would love to eventually pivot into a bitcoin focused company and help build great products and drop my LinkedIn and the corporate fiat persona completely. 
 💯 
 LinkedIn is just a glorified resume. There's no socializing that's actually going on there. Don't feel bad about keeping it

Its not that serious 
 Fair point. 
 @jack IS NOT NOSTR ONLY YET. 
 "YET" 
 🔫 fired 
 Classic.   
 Can’t quit his x? 🥲 
 Word 
 With all due respect, I'm not independently Bitcoin wealthy. And I don't really have a Bitcoin job, but I'm still nostr only. LinkedIn has never helped me get a job, neither have any of those shitty platforms. 
 At the end of the day though, if those platforms bring value to your life and you think you need them, then by all means use them. 
 Fair enough. Its helped me quite a bit but I can understand it being hit or miss for many. 
 Financial independence is prerequisite to the freedom .. totally get it ..

Two ways - slog a little harder ( on linked in :-)  ... or cut down your needs .. later is easier if you are alone .. not an option if you have a family to support  
 Yea agreed.  Yea definitely getting over some bad debt habits earlier in life but also have three young boys who have never known the word satiated. 
 Keep faith and keep stacking !   
 You don't serve your contacts. You keep them entrapped. If you don't show them the way to more freedom how do you expect to get rich. Tje degree of freedom representa the actual value a society has available. And no. It's not a zero sum game.

You bring them here and all of us get richer. You encourage them to stay. We all loose. But you loose the most.

The rich dudes here couldn't care less if you bring them 1% more value. The unknownking on EntrappedMe couldn't care less. They don't even know what freedom is. But you know. But don't act. That is the highest price to pay.
