Cryptocurrency Jobs : How Can You Make a Career in This Slowly Evolving Digital World?

  “The earliest adopters at scale of crypto were gamers.” 

-Brock Pierce

There is no doubt about the number of times we have seen, heard or read about cryptocurrency. I am sure you would have heard terms like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Blockchain etc. While all of this may seem interesting, we tend to brush it away without realising the huge impact it is going to have in our lives. If you are looking for some cryptocurrency jobs then this is for you.

The future is about cryptocurrency and those people who have already started working with it are the ones leading this rare race. But it is never late to start and even though it may seem risky, this is going to stay.

Let’s straight get onto the literal definition of cryptocurrency- It is a digital currency in which transactions are verified and records maintained by a decentralised system using cryptography, rather than by a centralised authority.

To simplify it, we can say that cryptocurrency is a type of currency that uses digital assets/files as money. How is it different from the traditional currency? The biggest point of difference is that it is not backed by any third agency and by third agency we mean the government or the bank.

The control of each cryptocurrency is managed through a distributed ledger, usually a blockchain, that serves as a database for public financial distribution.These are digital assets that you can purchase to make investments and although this may sound weird, but the first ever crypto transaction was made to buy a pizza and yes you read it right.

The blockchain technology that backs your cryptocurrency is as secure as it gets.You can compare buying cryptocurrency to yielding farming-you invest money into a crypto coin and then collect interests and fees from blockchain transactions.

However, just like other investments, your capital may be subjected to risk and there is no 100% guarantee of profit but some believe that it is worth it if you face some losses in the beginning only when you crack the logic and trick behind it.

The right way to think about the blockchain is that it's going to replace the entire Internet.
