I completely agree with this line:
“We hardly ever hire from inside of crypto because most people inside of crypto are very inexperienced. You have very, very few people who are experienced who get into the crypto industry,” said Julian Hosp, co-founder of Singapore-based crypto wallet and card start-up TenX.
Even the community is big but seeking out skilled workers would really be hard.Why? because most people who do jumped in are those who do investing or do seek out money making opportunity with less work.

And there’s also strong interest from job seekers: According to data from job search engine Indeed’s main Asian markets (Australia, India, Singapore and Malaysia), there’s been high interest in blockchain roles.

In fact, even though there are plenty of blockchain enthusiasts looking to join the industry, “not many people have the actual skill sets” required for developer roles, said John Mullally, director of financial services at Robert Walters in Hong Kong.
