Topic: Is Blockchain a Good Career? - page 9. (Read 2931 times)

If most of the world really look forward to use the blockchain in various platform in many fields then we can make the blockchain popular with so much ease to workplaces. But now? I can see that people are still in doubt, obviously because of the cryptocurrencies coz it still being doubted because of failures that many projects brought to the image of the community. However, taking into blockchain and IT world isn't easy you need a huge amount of time to learn even you have your IT degree.

Self learning is hard, really, you need to ask for others so might as well find a good group in several channels.
With over 9000 programming language, these are the basic and most used ones but I advice to take courses on what you really wanted. For me PHP is the most front among all the languages.

We are now in a generation where the technology is advance and using a blockchain. So,I think if there is a blockchain education much better because it will be a good career for sure.Also if you are a very skillful in terms of blockchain technology ,you can earn much because for sure the salary is greater than the normal salary of a worker now that receive in fiat money.

We have the same goal but I stopped chasing it since I can't focus on teaching now if I will be teaching myself this career. I am not that good in anything that relates to programming. I know someone that also wants to make Blockchain as his career and as far as I know, he is an IT graduate so I think he is good with that. I am not an IT or IS graduate, I don't also know anything about software development. Your possible salary is good but the best thing there is that if you really wanted that career, that should keep you going.

I guess people should be generally trained on decentralized technology (probably combined with currency/tokens) and it applications, rather than just Blockchain. Blockchain is synonymous with decentralized networks and crypto... There are some non-blockchain based technologies in this space that are focused on decentralization and currencies/tokens.
I think the schools need to focus more on main principles of Blockchain/decentralized-tech, so students don't lose track of the goal of Blockchain and similar tech. The principles have lots of benefits to societies if combined with decentralization.

I strongly agree if we master the blockchain it would be easier to find work, because not many people learn about the blockchain.
So there is still open work related to blockchain, so don't be lazy to learn blockchain technology. Because many companies dare to
provide large salaries, if we understand about blokchain. I have no doubt this blockchain now delivers good career. Because the demand
for blockchain is increasing, so many companies need experts in the field of blockchain technology.

Being young and new industry means that the pioneers in this industry will be under appreciated, there will be fewer people who knows about the blockchain industry, you will be faced with hardships and the pay will not be much (I do not know much about the pay rate), but with all this in the way, the endeavor is rewarding because you will mark a milestone in the industry being that you will become pioneers plus you are doing a job that you love and are happy.

There are opportunities to those who fully deliver the job, as long as you have the skills to offer with
possible clients and you can bring outcomes.
Many people who wanted to make a living from this career are also upgrading their knowledge they are
not limiting to one skills but to offer the whole bundle.
The chance of making more prospects and build reputations always depends from what you can provide
and how reliable you are.

There is no way, blockchain career will be most sorted for in the future based on its decentralized nature which is the kind of freedom that people have been looking for. GO language, RUST, Pyton and C language has been on top that is widely used in blockchain space, other programming languages are also important but speed and security is the most important thing to consider when developing in blockchain space

Im trying out to be a self taught blockchain dev even i do have different line of course but it turns out that it wont really be an easy path.

Main programming languages that would need up to learn since majority of famous projects now do use up this prog. lang.

C++
Simplicity
JS
Python

It wont really be an easy stuff but would really be worthy since blockchain development is rising as years goes by.

I agree with you, blockchain offers one of the best career and good jobs out there but most of blockchain jobs are temporary and seasonal and for you to have a thriving career in crypto community, you must be well equipt with high level programming knowledge to help people develop the kind of techs that fits there demand. So basically, if you don't have much of programming skill,  there isn't much of a career for you in blockchain industry 

The bitcoin market started with the technology nerds but then the rest of the people joined after that, the economist and stoke traders are all here in the bitcoin market and what you think about the rallies we had in the past, it was possible simply because the financial fund houses are investing heavily in bitcoin and so was the reason we saw huge rallies in the past and now the entire market landscape is changed completely from what we started in a short period of time.

As for taking blockchain as a career, anything that is new to the market is always a good career choice.

Blockchain isn't a career. That is like saying a computer us your career. What blockchain jobs? I am sure you mean blockchain devs. Where are you getting these figures of making 70-140k? How? By running a blockchain? You still have not explained to use how that money is generated. You can follow guides to make your own blockchain btw. Or just fork your own bitcoin blockchain. You do need to know what you are doing but you don't have to be a genius. Put it this way. The effort and time and knowledge it requires to launch and maintain a blockchain is not to work anywhere near these figures you are spitting out. You have to actually do something with your blockchain. Your coin needs to have use and its own value. Blockchain is just the technology, how you use it is how much you will earn. btw I love how you say from 70k to as high as 140k lol dude you can make billions if you know-how. There is no limit to how much money you can make with technology. It is liking asking how long is a piece of string. Thematically so long as the technology doesn't die you can make infinite money. You will die before then though.

Absolutely! The blockchain industry is a young one and has a huge potential of being massively adopted in future. Once we hit mainstream adoption companies would be looking for the services of developers and other talents beneficial to the blockchain industry. I am currently  shaping my skills in graphics just in case a company wants me to be their graphic designer.

You are confusing blockchain technology with crypto coins. Yes all crypto coins/tokens use blockchains but not all blockchains deal with coins/tokens.

The biggest growth and well paying fields using blockchain technology have NOTHING to do with crypto coins - they deal with tracking physical goods such as farm produce/products from field to market, electronics from component supplier to manufacturer to final installation (ssl/smart streetlights perfect example of that), and the recording of and tracking status of various contracts be they financial, trading and even civil property records. For those applications a private blockchain is used as a sort of immutable database.

One example of that involving very large scale lighting is https://www.ledsmagazine.com/architectural-lighting/article/14178583/outdoor-ssl-news-ameresco-supplies-oregon-and-signify-connects-new-york

Do a broad search using "Intel blockchain" or "IBM blockchain" to pull up info on it. And yes, you need to have decent coding skills along with a proper understanding of what a blockchain is/can be to do development work!

That's not correct, anyone can take Blockchain career in as much your are computer literate. There are no new skills to Blockchain career apart from the existing ones. Many of these projects developers don't  have the rightful knowledge about Blockchain and cryptocurrency but because they have been into the system they have now fit into the system. Blockchain career is the best career that will good for anyone to have for financial freedom. Having the necessary skills is enough to make millions of dollars from thousands of projects around this industry.

I'm sure it is. Blockchain like a new, fast-growing and high-tech industry is attracting more and more attention not only from large and small companies, but also from government agencies.
Even if an individual country or company has not yet decided on its attitude and position regarding the blockchain, this does not mean that it can be ignored. After all, this is a phenomenon of the present and future time. Those who do not have time to jump on the train will remain waiting on the platform. It is already now that blockchain technology occupies its sector in the labor market of it technologies.
In a sense, the development of the world of cryptocurrencies can be compared to the development of the Internet. At first, not many people knew how to unlock its potential, but those who managed it first-earned billions. And in the same way, you could not know anything about the Internet, but it spread like a web and penetrated into every corner of our lives.
Undoubtedly, it is very difficult to build a stable and successful career in the field of blockchain. You need to understand all current trends, be able to anticipate the market and understand modern technologies. But the complexity of the approach is justified by the profit that can be obtained not only in decades, but here and now.

There are a few issues, due to the informal nature of "outside the regular system" that some companies definitely try to exploit. That said, it really depends on the branch you're going for, just like people, different companies will go about things differently, some are more organized than others. If you know how to code, learn solidity and you can get solid work in any ethereum / ethereum based project.

If you don't know how to code and you still want to dip your toes in, maybe try community management! Seen quite a lot of projects looking for moderators for their socials, people knowledgeable in the blockchain, though sometimes it's just someone to reply and let them know they're being read / their issues will be forwarded to the correct party.

Hope that helps!

We can say at least that this career would gradually gain popularity as we move forward in future years. Blockchain tech is something thats innovative

which can really be integrated on most industries in the world which would make even more efficient or make it much more better or improved, which means

people who do work with blockchain or do study will really have the advantage, maybe not now but in near future.If you do like to learn up blockchain tech

then that would be worthy shot to take.

Bitcoin trading may and may not be better than offering services in programming/developing due to the market volatility in nature which can causes huge lost of traders but i still consider doing both if have the time and knowledge.

The amount of $ 50,000 is not considered big per year, especially if taxes are deducted from it, which may reach 30%, and most developers get that amount even if they are not familiar with programming.
Blockchain makes hiring easier because there aren't a lot of companies that have enough employees to work on coding, and you also learn some economic things that enable you to earn some money quickly.
Bitcoin trading is better than that.
