Often, when I speak with everyday Bitcoiners (plebios, so to speak, they share with me that they are divided between continuing with their “fiduciary work” and getting more involved in the bitcoin space on a professional level.
In general, I tell you that you can start incorporating bitcoin in what they currently do to make a living, however, I have not had a great example of someone who does this who can point it out, until this morning.
When the time comes that the clients of Osteopata Rob Shaw, based in Essex, the United Kingdom (on the outskirts of London), pay them for their services, present the option to pay with British pounds or bitcoin through a <a target="_blank" href="https://musqet.tech/”>MUSQET POS device.

This device reduces traditional payment rates and also allows bitcoin transactions.

(Keep in mind that it does not enter a lesson on the underlying technology of bitcoin or the principles of the Austrian economy while doing so).
Rob shared that here and there a client will act surprised when the option to pay with bitcoin is presented, but that most simply take their choice between the two and will proceed to make their payment.
Rob's efforts have led two of their clients to now pay regularly in bitcoin, and also provides a point of contact for those who have not yet begun to pay with it.
In this way, Rob is a bitcoin bridge.
(And, ironically, it was an organization called Bridge 2 bitcoin That introduced Rob to bitcoin as payment technology for his business).
He is subtly introducing people to bitcoin, giving them the option to cross bitcoin Land in the process.
Some could call this “Acedar de Orange” (a term that I don't like very much because it feels too coercive), but I would say that this is a more refined way to present bitcoin to people. By offering it as an official payment method for professional services, Legitima bitcoin and asks those who are not familiar with him to begin to see him under a new light.
If professionals from all over the world use this approach, bitcoin's adoption will accelerate significantly.
So, instead of feeling that you have to leave whatever you are doing for a job to join the full -time bitcoin industry, consider being a bridge for bitcoin and take the bitcoin industry to what you are already doing.
Be like Rob, be a bitcoin bridge!
