From Central Bank to Bitcoin: My Path Into the Bitcoin Industry

​Hosted and moderated by Bitcoin House Malaysia.

​Guest: Marek Feder, AmityAge.

​About the Event

​What does it actually take to move into the Bitcoin industry?

​Marek Feder went from working inside a central bank to working full-time in Bitcoin. Join us in Kuala Lumpur as he shares how that happened: the wrong turns, the unpaid weekends, and the moment it finally worked out.

​It is an honest look at a career transition, including what he learned along the way and how contributing to Bitcoin education helped him find his place.

​What We Will Cover

​Marek's path from regulator to Bitcoin educator, step by step

​Where Bitcoin work exists beyond the obvious roles

​Why showing up and contributing mattered more than his CV

​Who It Is For

​Anyone curious about working in Bitcoin, whether you are a student, thinking about a career change, or wondering what the industry looks like from the inside.

​You do not need a technical background.

​Format

​Marek's story, followed by open audience Q&A and networking. Bring a question about getting started, finding a useful role, or contributing from Malaysia.
