Are the professionals in the cryptocurrency and blockchain<\/a> industry as well versed in the technology as we would like them to be?<\/span><\/p>\n The fact that hundreds of altcoins have emerged in the industry in the past decade proves that the technology is not limited to a certain group of people. However, it\u2019s safe to say that the vast majority of people in the world are not blockchain experts; many of them have seldom heard of the term. <\/span><\/p>\n Blockchain technology seems to be an idealistic field; the network allows for decentralization, distribution and transparent interactions among people. Another fundamental feature is that the versatility of the technology makes it conformable to all industries. <\/span><\/p>\n The blockchain revolution is known as the Internet 2.0 for a reason<\/b><\/p>\n Just as professionals rushed to master web development back in the mid-20<\/span>th<\/span> century, there is a race to develop blockchain technology skills in this decade. <\/span><\/p>\n As mind-boggling as the internet seemed back then, blockchain technology is just as baffling to people today. The difference now is that even before professional courses have entered institutions, the World Wide Web has made it possible for us to learn a few things about blockchain technology; this knowledge would have been impossible back in the mid 1900\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n Through a basic knowledge of blockchain technology, a person today can single-handedly utilize the decentralized and distributed power that the technology provides to develop a business and market it. <\/span><\/p>\n How will a career in blockchain technology benefit people?<\/b><\/p>\n Web development was the most sought-after skill a few decades ago; almost every organization wanted to be connected to the internet and develop interfaces for their businesses to interact with their customers. Industries want the same with blockchain technology.<\/span><\/p>\n The rise of advanced machinery in the early 19<\/span>th<\/span> century put a multitude of farmers out of work. In the current market, artificial intelligence threatens the same. <\/span><\/p>\n The next generation has to be ever on the look-out for new technology and skills to master, in order to be satisfactorily employed in the future. Thankfully, blockchain technology is still relatively new and dearths of applications are still being unearthed. <\/span><\/p>\n Data from LinkedIn and UpWork states that there are 9.4 times more job posts for skills in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency in 2017 than there were in 2014. The current annual salary of a Silicon Valley blockchain developer is $158,000 and by 2025, the blockchain industry is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions in USD!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many public and private blockchain projects like Verge, STEEM, and Hyperledger are actively hiring candidates to help develop their platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n What do you focus on as an aspirant of the blockchain field?<\/b><\/p>\n Core blockchain developers say that they initially focused on the fundamental framework and protocols of the technology. <\/span><\/p>\n Developers eventually have to implement the technology to construct a decentralized network and vigorously work on programming. <\/span><\/p>\n Public blockchain networks like Verge and STEEM consist of cryptocurrencies<\/a>, ICO\u2019s and other services that are open for general use. <\/span><\/p>\n Private blockchain networks like Hyperledger are developed for individual companies. The main interest would be to structure the technology to suit the requirements of a focus group of customers. Trade platforms, identity integrations, etc are examples of this field.<\/span><\/p>\n What skills do you need to develop to enter the field?<\/b><\/p>\n Computer science is the basic skill for this industry; programming, understanding the logic of blockchain technology<\/a> and cryptocurrencies, mastering different computer languages like C++, Python, C#, etc and a basic understanding of web development skills in HTML, NodeJS, MongoDB and CSS are paramount. <\/span><\/p>\n Training in security software skills and networking can also give you a leg up in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also enter a consultant\u2019s path in the field by learning more about the social implications of blockchain technology and the economics of a decentralized currency.<\/span><\/p>\n Undeniably, there are other fields to develop skills in; but it all comes down to this: Do you believe that cryptocurrencies are the future of our current economic system? Wouldn\u2019t a decentralized and transparent network be the aim of every organization in the world? If you answered \u2018Yes\u2019 to any one of these questions, it is obvious that blockchain technology will stick around and evolve. Let us be a part of it now, in the technology\u2019s infancy, so that we are not left too far behind in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n","excerpt":" Are the professionals in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry as well versed in the technology as we would like them to be?
