LinkedIn News’ Post

Crypto-related job postings skyrocketed last year, according to a recent LinkedIn analysis, pointing to disruption across industries. Job postings with titles containing terms like “bitcoin,” “ethereum,” “blockchain” and “cryptocurrency” grew 395% in the U.S. from 2020 to 2021, outpacing the wider tech industry — which saw a 98% increase in listings during the same time period.  While most of the job postings were in software and finance, other industries are also seeing a rise in demand for crypto talent. These include professional services like accounting and consulting, as well as the staffing and computer hardware sectors. What kind of roles are companies hiring for? Some of the most common titles included blockchain developers and engineers. Hiring demand surged last year amid an influx of funding. Investors worldwide poured $30 billion into crypto and blockchain startups in 2021, according to PitchBook data. At the same time, public interest in crypto exploded as high profile evangelists like Elon Musk praised the technology—and crypto companies entered the mainstream, as evidenced by the newly-christened Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.  Despite the burgeoning growth of the wider industry, some experts have expressed skepticism around the long-term utility of the technology and claim that crypto is a bubble. Weigh in: Do you think the crypto industry will continue to grow? If so, can it sustain this breakneck pace? #TheWorkShift #Economy #LaborMarket #Crypto #Blockchain 🖊: Taylor Borden 📈: Danielle K.

Yep! Blockchain is enabling the next iteration of the Internet - Web 3.0 - and creating a new economy: the token economy. Job growth in the industry will continue IMO.

As a longtime fan and investor I’m happy to see that crypto is here to stay. When institutional investors like Goldman Sachs and savvy billionaires make a complete turnaround to support this world changing technology, you know there is no turning back.

(sorry for my english, my mother tongue is french) To answer some people. The value of a crypto is the confidence in the currency and its scarcity effect. The blockchain is public, decentralized (anyone can participate has validator or a miner. Unlike the currency (US, EURO, ARGENTINA PESO ...)that we can print infinitely, crypto example bitcoin has a limit of 21 million tokens. The blockchain is not only used as a digital currency. It is also used to develop the Metaverse, NFT, decentralized apps (dApps), own real estate... For those who can remember, in the early 2000s many people were wondering on the internet. Now it is essential. The blockchain is like the internet in the early 2000s. Check why Facebook changedis name to Meta(verse)? Why Jack Dorsey (Twitter), Elon Musk, Cathie Wood, Blackrock, Microstrategy are so interested in it. In a few years, bitcoin (around an annual return of 160% for 10 years) will be worth more than gold (market cap of 10k billion and a negative return) and will be considered a safe haven.

I have been contacted by several people regarding some of my posts as to why I am not impressed with the Cryptocurrency scheme. I tell them I have lost money by sending it to people who tell me they will teach me how to profit in crypto. I just had one text me again and after telling him that I have lost $6000, he says "Oh, for a mere $750 I could profit $9500". Apparently, they find someone like me and hone in through a funnel thinking OOOO, here is a sap, let's bleed him for more of what he doesn't have in hopes of making a big profit for ourselves. This has turned out to be the case, this is one of the biggest snow jobs I have witnessed. Take it from someone who has lost. DON'T SEND ANY MONEY TO ANYONE WHO PROMISES YOU PROFIT THROUGH CRYPTOCURRENCY. YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN. 😡 😡 😠 😡 😡 😡

I have been dealing with the company Coinbase. They have been giving me the run around since November. My account was locked by their system because of some suspicious activity. They continue as of the time of writing this to have me do various tasks they claim are for their security. After I complete them I will get another list of tasks to do similar to the previous ones. They have kept $500 in their control and all I want to do is cash out. I am still locked out of the account. At this point, I am out a total of $6000 trying to invest in cryptocurrency. I am posting this to inform others of this Ponzi scheme. I have no recourse to my knowledge. I am just out the money. The most frustrating part of this is I was going to use the profit that I would have made to keep our house which isn't going to happen because of these dishonest people. All I want to do is tell everyone who reads this to know what my experience has been, nothing more.
