The government is a system, it's not supposed to generate jobs. The only jobs produced by the government are those to help sustain government. I'm not finding any relation to the positions you listed relative to what functions the government are meant to execute, can you please explain?

If you're suggesting that the crypto space would somehow make government smaller or limit its strength, then yes, you're correct. But that isn't because of "crypto jobs," it's an inherent consequence of decentralization. The government is a centralized authority, crypto doesn't have to be.
In addition to this, if people stop doing government jobs because of the emerging crypto jobs, it would be bizarre, because there wouldn't be need for centralized governments anymore. Boundaries will be destroyed and a merger of countries into a world unitary system of governance is what suffices. Satoshi himself or whomever is in charge of ensuring the successful running of the decentralized core, becomes automatically the government. i.e. the decentralized system on which the block chain operates, is a digital government on its own, in that it has positions or jobs for persons who understand its importance, thus keeping it relevant. The same applies to government jobs in our own physical and centralized space. Without the jobs to keep the system functioning and running, then the system might collapse. Unless other world centralized governments adopt the full use of crypto as legal tender, then the relevance of one over the other cannot and should not in anyway be overlooked.

No, and the key here is service.  Blockchain can keep a ledger on just about anything, be utilized for payments, voting, etc.  However, blockchain can't perform the services that are needed to be performed by a person, in person.

It is ridiculous if cryptocurrency jobs are taking away a government's jobs. Governmental jobs and workers will be here to stay, there is no magic pixie dust that cryptocurrencies will be able to solve any meatspace problems. Both will co-exist in their own way, and those kinds of sector won't be hostile to compete with each other.

The main thing is, there is a significant difference between both sectors, so both will be distinguishable. As already been said, the direct threat would be the central bank, but still, I doubt it will lose its importance.
I agree, governmental jobs are a requirement for a government to continue existing. What crypto does is making sure that business' do not pay very low salary to people. I remember back in the day when I was doing my current job in the crypto field, but it was very early days and I was still looking for a 9-5 office job those days, and the offers were usually half of what I make here, and that's why I rejected them all, and even laughed at the face of few of them for their offer.

At the end of the day, I managed to make sure that this job is the best job I will ever have, and ever since that day, I have been so so so happy everyday that I have my job.

I won't argue with the fact that cryptos and blockchain created new, much needed jobs. It's exciting that there are things people can now do and get paid for which wouldn't have existed otherwise and were unimaginable 50 years ago. But the jobs aren't always privatized and decentralized, of course: in fact, they're usually the opposite. A person working as a community moderator would work for a specific and usually centralized platform, will probably have an employer and stuff like that. Some can be self-employed, but that's not specific to crypto jobs either.
Also, while these jobs op listed will find their people, it doesn't mean government jobs aren't relevant anymore. Public sphere will still exist, and so will authorities of all sorts. Crypto jobs can even be government jobs if it's a governmental wallet app, for example, or a governmental crypto exchange.
So it's not all as easily divided into centralized and decentralized.

Crypto jobs are actually an open opportunity for everyone but they will not make the government irrelevant in the future. The government will still be firm despite the existence of cryptocurrency. It only reduces unemployment which is actually lessens the burden on the government which is a helpful thing. It's just that no politicians or government sector could take control of these job opportunities.
These are mostly IT related jobs and seeing the level of unemployment and the craze for IT jobs, if such was to continue in future and if crypto became a formidable force to reckon, I feel there will again be scarcity in the number of jobs in crypto sector because of the huge supply of unpaid workers ready to start this type of work. Also poor wages will follow because of the same reason.

The fact that people rarely go for challenging jobs that have life risks, difficult work hours is what makes those jobs well-paying and crypto will not solve those problems. For the time being, OP's post can only be called a pipe dream.

The situation would change drastically if salaries would start to be paid out in crypto.

I am afraid that this is not really realistic. The crypto community is creating a lot of new jobs, but these are not reducing the number of government employee. When it comes to the government and it's jobs there is no supervision. It's politicians who decide how many jobs they need and how much they are going to get paid. It's pretty ridiculous how large the government sector became over the last 20 years. The parliament is becoming larger each year, the support staff behind each politician also increases and gets paid more and more. Just this year the EU politicians decided to link their own salary to the inflation rate. In no private company are we seeing the salary increases we are seeing in the public sector. The funny thing is that the always so divided politicians all agree when it comes to raising their benefits. There is no way politicians would reduce the number of government jobs.

I really really hope that it will come true. Currently, I am living in Toronto and I am going to start my own business and open an offline crypto exchange. Authorities really made me sick about this idea, cause you have to prove anything and provide full-scale documentation on yourself. As well, the time when you are waiting for an answer  - consuming as hell. I was wondering to ask for help to services that could provide law consultation to help me with my Canada MSB License and maybe it will boost the process.

There are even more jobs related to cryptocurrencies than the jobs you mentioned here, and they can be quite different from each other as well. As an example, I am a developer, and my job is connected to cryptocurrencies, but I do not have any part in writing smart contracts myself, instead, I write web applications to analyze cryptocurrency prices and applications to exchange cryptocurrency between other platforms, as you have mentioned earlier. I think that soon after a few years, both sides will be able to find a way to get adopted by one another in terms of the governments.

With all this in place and more opportunities yet to be unveiled as the space keeps expanding will government jobs still have much relevance in the society?
I may not be totally correct but I think that in the future, the so-called government jobs will still be relevant because the would have either would have incorporated the different elements of crypto and Blockchain industry or they would have adopted it fully. The government will partner with those in the industry and we will see the creation of jobs in this space.  That is why it is important to skill up to prepare for what is coming.
It should be painfully obvious that government jobs are still going to be very relevant in the future and if anything I think they could become even more relevant than what they are right now, the only thing that we need to do is to see how many people were working for governments a century ago and see how many people are working for the governments now, even if we saw this in terms of proportions it is clear that there was a massive growth in the amount of people that governments hire, and as people become more and more dependent on the government then I think this tendency is only going to accelerate in the future.
Why people been really thinking that it is something that could be replaced into those government jobs that had been long time existed? Why cant people just accept that both things could exist from one another?

People are really just too hopeful or positive specially to those crypto supporters for this thing to happen which if we do see it sensibly then it cant really be just possible as long certain industries
do exist then there's always those typical jobs that would be offered.

We should be grateful if ever both things been offered or vacancies which is really a beneficial thing for us to those who do seek out jobs.

It will remain relevance but the rush on it could have reduce since there have been enough provisioned for alternative in cryptocurrency which is more secured and private than the centralized ones, government need to understand that people are much concerned because they have no choice other than to go for the available ones with them, but ever since the introduction of cryptocurrency and bitcoin booming allover the world and it adoption increasing among youth providing them with divers opportunities, it is no doubts that the role of government jobs and opportunity hunts woth them has no alternative than to decrease drastically with the influence of cryptocurrency.

Either way, digitization will cause the landscape to change in many government agencies and the impact of blockchain will not only be felt on emerging technologies like cryptocurrencies.

In my view, As long as the blockchain economy continues to grow and develop, there will continue to be greater demand for developers to work in the crypto sector. It's not just those in power—there are plenty of jobs available for those who want to interact with blockchain technology in other ways too. Blockchain is gradually becoming a part of our lives and is not likely to disappear any time soon hopefully the government will open its eyes to this and this I think is inevitable.

Lol! What an unrealistic expectation!! Crypto jobs are just an extension to IT jobs and nothing out of the world. Government jobs will remain super relevant till the time the world will have governments. People need police forces, people need administration, people need military. Government jobs will never become irrelevant.

Crypto currency can probably challenge the banking jobs to some extent but nothing else!

The difference between crypto related jobs and non crypto or government jobs is most crypto jobs requires high qualification in some specific fields (like devs, programmers etc). Non crypto related jobs on the other hand have jobs in all relevant fields you can think of. There are opportunities for both high and low qualifications.
So before there is going to be such shift from government jobs to crypto jobs there should be enough of crypto jobs available for all fields and qualifications.

i think that crypto and government work will complement each other in the future,, that some positions will disappear is natural considering technological developments will certainly eliminate a lot of jobs,, but that does not mean that crypto and blockchain will replace government work or maket it irrelevant

What I believe is there are groups of people that want to get into crypto jobs, whilst on the other side, there are groups of people that wants to get hired working for the government.

It's all in the interest of people and wherever they'll earn a lot with such easy job and basically it's sustaining their needs, I think that they'll hop on it just like a usual job worker that hops on different companies until wage being offered is higher than the previous ones.

If there will be new generated crypto jobs, those vacancies that will be left by some government workers will also be filled eventually by those who are hoping to get to work with the government.

Crypto is becoming more centralized day by day, unlike bitcoin, you can see how some centralization is evolving with altcoins like ethereum. If ethereum is not that centralized, many stable coins have been created, most of them can be freezed on noncustodial wallet, that is centralization.

Making a project centralized or decentralized is completely the choice of the project owner, As such everyone will have a choice to either be in the centralized crypto project or move to decentralization

Quote
If some the government officials leave office, other people will replace the the government officials and become the government officials. People needs job, some are underemployed, some people are looking for government work. How many job can crypto provide people? Even many people are still unemployed today.

The answer is simple, people are aleaus available for government work, and any other work that is not like someone is underemployed.
Other people will always want to fill up when  government official leave or retire from duty but if crypto jobs pay higher won't this individuals  want to give their best to what pays them better.

Crypto had vast opportunities it just that many people aren't aware of this offers and they stick to the regular daily jobs they are used to
I think the question was "will crypto jobs make government jobs irrelevant in the near future?" According to a point raised by @charlestim, it's a matter of how well some of this outlisted jobs provided by crypto can pay, because no matter how stressful and demanding some government jobs can be, there are still people willing to step in when one retires from the job and I feel some are not crypto savvy enough or just do not have the interest to learn a thing or two about crypto so as such still prefer govt jobs.

Well the list posted as "jobs" by the OP are all related to the crypto industry and not in general. Who is going to run the crops to get the feed for the public? Who is going to work their ass off trying to save a life from dying? These are jobs that need more people not shilling shitcoins and all. While these listed "jobs" can be a source of income, they cannot be a primary source and neither are governments going to be interested in them such that they become irrelevant.

Crypto is still in its baby days, rather what we need to merchant acceptance of crypto and further salaries paid in crypto, then such topics would actually make sense. But that can only happen with first point happens, that is people are able to pay for services for crypto and get them done hassle-free.
