In a recent speech, Andreas Antonopoulos (author of "Mastering Bitcoin" and "The Internet of Money") said Bitcoin's goal is not just to revolutionize how we trade values, but also to create communities that work to innovate. In other words, you do not necessarily need to buy cryptocurrecies to study the phenomenon and try to understand technology.
Over the past eight years, everything that Bitcoin has meant has been associated by the press and spokespersons of speculative authorities and rapid enrichment schemes. It is only in recent months that the King of the Cryptocurrecies escaped the labels of the "pyramid squad" or "the Ponzi scheme," because journalists and commentators finally understood that it was a decentralized system.
But Bitcoin means more than the end of technology and we also need to learn about the process that transfers money from point A to point B or how to secure the information.
Beyond the economic and financial aspect, we find advanced elements of computer science and cryptography (for the development of Bitcoin we have used discoveries and academic researches of the last 40 years), but also social science notions that establish relationships between the participants and determine them either rational in relation to the advantages of participating in the system.
What I am trying to say is that you do not necessarily need to be a programmer to learn about cryptocurrecies and there are dimensions beyond the exchange markets where jobs are offered.
Bitcoin has become an industry of hundreds of billions of dollars, where business people and companies invest (sometimes irrational) in anything that could bring innovation or increase the adoption rate of technology. It takes journalists to write, critical of mathematics, bankers and businessmen who can enter the payment system, artists to humanize this technologically-traded space, translators to remove language barriers and creative minds to find new uses for the block of blocks.
Do you want a well-paid job in a dynamic environment? Learn about Bitcoin and make your knowledge available to a cryptocurrecies community!
The results will not be immediate and there will likely be a period of volunteering before job offers appear, but this step into the cryptocurrecies space can turn you into a promising start-up employee or a free- a professional who works from home and receives many generous paid applications.
Even Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Cryptocurrecies Ethereum, began by studying Bitcoin on the Bitcointalk.org forums, worked as editor for Bitcoin Magazine, and then, after studying the works of some authors in the field such as Nick Szabo, came up with the idea of creating a platform to support decentralized applications and allow intelligent contracts to be signed between the parties.
The sums I earn from crypto writing for various sites are not very large, but it gives me the opportunity to learn further while I have a decent living. Everything that has been described has taken place over the course of 8-9 months and I certainly would have earned more money if I accepted translation jobs or had programming or design knowledge.
But what I am trying to say is that Bitcoin's industry is like the Internet in the mid-1990s: young, rudimentary and in the process of crunching and accessing the decade adopted by the masses. It took many years for Mozilla and Opera to offer intuitive and accessible interfaces to anyone who does not need to enter HTML code in a terminal.
Similarly, professionals in all fields are needed to help cryptocurrecies grow - and financial rewards are often more generous than other industries already at a slower level of innovation.
Are you a lawyer? Sure there is a project that needs consultancy. Are you a plastic artist, photographer or musician? All of these arts can humanize the cold and code-based interfaces, or they can launch successful advertising campaigns. Are you a financial analyst or consultant? There are a lot of people and companies interested in turning to your services! And if you find a pleasure in writing, then maybe you can create a blog to spread knowledge.
