Hi All,
I was thinking of starting a career in blockchain projects either as a core developer or a DAPP developer.
But looking at the recent slump and disappearing ICO market, I am having doubts.
Please advise me. Thanks so much.

Blockchain developers are one of the hottest things searched for in the employment right now and that won't change. Firstly, understand that crypto and blockchain are two separate things, many companies are adopting blockchain tech without cryptocurrencies. But even on the crypto side there will eventually be a reversal in the markets fortunes, presenting great opportunity for those with the required expertise.

This deep correction has nothing to do with blockchain technology.
Now there are a lot of vacancies for developers and you should not worry about the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market. I think that now is the time when the project that did not spend the money collected on Cocaine, alcohol and Lamborghini survive, but did their own project. More than 2100 coins / tokens, this is 95 percent garbage)

What kind of jobs are hot?
Thanks so much

I think this is a good area for building a career. Blockchain technology is actively used in various spheres of life and will continue to be used. You should not pay attention to the market situation now. It will change.

You can start to create your own product but are you conducting to create an ico? If you are smart enough and you can try to join into the some platforms that offers a job for you dude. I guess you should take a look on the history of crypto. How it was getting plunged in so many times.

Your expertise in this matter is very much needed, Many projects need you, blockchain technology is a change and you stand to advance it, this is indeed not easy, because many projects are now becoming garbage, and this is your job, how you select and offer solutions so many communities and investors are interested

There are many ICOs which raised money still need more important positions. You no need to work in brand-new ICOs.

Blockchain has nothing to do with ICO, so you can start your career whenever you want.
Not all ICOs adopt blockchain technology, even only 10% may actually adopt the technology. And you must remember that blockchain was created not for ICO.

I think almost all jobs and all forms of business will definitely have risks, not just blockchain or cryptocurrency. And it seems you have to start differentiating between the blockchain and ICO functions. Thank you.

If you are sure you want to start a career in Crypto do it, but here you have to really explore crypto and be able to study with people who are more experienced beforehand but of course there are risks and you have to be prepared for it, whatever it is you do with all

I think you should still consider doing a career in cryptocurrency no matter what the market situation is. There is always hope for the development of coins and the increase of price. And when that happens, you're gonna earn a lot of profit. Slumps are just normal.

Might as well set yourself up for the next bull market.  Timing is everything, and right now when the going is tough and sentiment is poor things could be cheap for you.  Why not give it a whirl?  Depending on your other opportunities and all, specific to your situation.

If you would proceed being a dApp developer, I think that is nothing much conflict with the market slump because you are paid based on your services in USD whether you want crypto as a payment, it must be equivalent to the USD you are asking. Besides, with the current technology, being a developer is the most sought after job for they are heart of the crypto industry.

i believe in the cryptocurency and i helieve that we will be able to make a good career in the cryptucrrency wordl if we try hard

it isna good idea tomstart a career at the cryptocurrency world and if you have a good knowledge base you can easily do that as it is not that hard

Well if you have the talent and skills you can apply for that career.

You just have to look on to those platforms that you want to work it. I suggest that start with a working company that's already providing solutions and service to the people. But if you want to go with start ups and ICOs that's your choice. Try to check out blockchain.com careers or coinmarketcap.com's careers.

If you really think it is good to do and your purpose is really be developer, maybe a lot of people will support it. But if your purpose is short money i don't think you need to do it because it will make condition of crypto worse.

I think his career is still, but now many are less successful or don't meet their targets. so the distribution of tokens was delayed.

yes we can start our careers in crypto to invest our time and money for future growth and fulfill our dreams that will be come true hopefully. we can trade in crypto but for that we need of money and experience to earn profits. But if we have no further money for investment then we must have time to invest and keen desires for learning the promotions projects in crypto through social media channel. After completed the task the crypto company paid a lot of coin and altcoin .

Some of the newbies are confuse about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. I am also confuse with that when I was new in this community. Like what you said, companies adapt the use of blockchain technology due to its usage. We can store our files, transaction and etc. using blockchain technology. Hence, it is needed by the companies today.

if you want to make a good project there are no problems, the most important thing is that you don't cheat people, if a good project will sell well

The market for ICO's may be in a very poor state but that does not mean that there is any drop in the need for developers. There are lots of companies looking for talent and that won't change anytime soon no matter what happens to the ICO market. If you have the skills to become a developer I would recommend seizing the opportunity. Blockchains are here to stay and are only going to get bigger.

everyone is in doubt now, but not with people who can read the hype, they will shop as much as possible, but unless you feel indecisive, it's better to keep quiet and wait for the Bullrun market

To be a developer is not as easy as we think, but you will learn well when you always follow every step of crypto and blockchain in the market and crypto tables.

I think it's a great idea and a great experience for you personally and for your growth. I think ICO will be held always and their importance will only grow, you know in a falling market it is very difficult to begin to invest in new projects.

I think your idea is solid there is definitely a strong demand for developers across the sector and that demand is only going to increase. Blockchain technology is still in its infancy and it is likely to find a place in regular businesses as well as the crypto startups.

Not sure I get it but are you planning to start a project of your own and get funding thru an ICO?
Nothing wrong with that but it might be better if you start working for an existing project already to gain more experience befor having your own.

Blockchains and encryption are the future directions of technology development. You should not be negative about the current market downturn. Your specialty is technology. More attention should be paid to the development of technology. Technology will never go out of date.

Blockchain tech is on is own,a dip in crypto cannot totally affect blockchain tech.Blockchain tech can be useful outside crypto.It is hot in demand now.A good path if you ask me.

There will always be room for blockchain developers etc so you can apply to various projects that have openings. It is indeed true right now there is a slump in the market price wise but there arE more and more jobs opening in this sector so you may do very well as a skilled person in this niche. I wish you the very best and do let us know of any developments and if you find a good job. I know PundiX always is looking for new talent so try to send them a resume or CV.

Crypto is always up and down and this is cyclical. viewed from the present, crypto still has a long way to go and a thriving condition. ICO and crypto indeed in bad condition this time, but this does not illustrate that it would also be bad for some time in the future. but being a developer for blockchain instead of the easy thing because it's a pretty risky position.

Blockchain development is the hottest IT job skills today and knowing various blockchain use cases and the vast majority of what companies want is key to landing a high-paying blockchain job. Some of the hottest in-demand top jobs currently could be found in the following links - https://www.computerworld.com/article/3277617/blockchain/the-top-blockchain-jobs-you-need-to-know-about.html

There is no any risk when it comes to blockchain. You can see that even the countries going sternly against cryptocurrencies like China is pursuing blockchain and many countries are very much positive about blockchain. So the field is very much lucrative and it has much scope for employments. So you can pursue your dream without any doubt. And as far as cryptocurrency, I think the authorities and governments will also accept it in the future and some of them have already accepted.

Yes, they are a profession, but they are quite risky, so maybe during this time we should not invest in them, so giving up early will be more beneficial for you.

I think that it is not necessary to worry, because the market will somehow begin to turn, it’s only a matter of time!

Blockchain specialists have a really great future, because more and more big companies are entering this industry and they need great developers. Blockchain is integrating itself in a big variety of industries and you will get a great salary as a leading dev.

Go for it my friend! Blockchain is not dependent only on cryptocurrencies so regardless if it's used for it or not, it's a good host for any online transactions. It could be used by any businesses that relies mostly in the internet, even banks so don't base your decision on the price of the ICOs or whatever. It's just one type that needs blockchain.

Creating and generating cryptocurrencies is easy because ERC-20 provides you with a convenient service, but if you want encryption to get people's attention, it will be very difficult!

I wish I could do a crypto career but it seems only engineering people or computer IT people with masters get the good jobs with high salaries. Apparently in the US, blockchain developers now get paid higher than AI experts,,, but of course with bear market you can see that salaries are being reduced everywhere, even for management positions.

Marketing and communications,,, also popular with crypto but they do not get paid more than in other sectors. And now probably even lower pay with this bearish conditions.

The career in crypto seems to be one of the jobs that can suck up many investors and have a good future. So I think this will benefit you if you are able to master this, development that succeeded in providing great things and will be a useful experience.

It's a great career to choose. ICO market won't end soon, in fact it has just begun to take over the world. Look at PRG, who knew cannabis legalization would come about like this. Play your cards.

According to the latest statistics, a skilled programmer associated with the blockchain earns about 135,000 dollars a year. So decide now))

Your skills is in demand right now and very timely. As a developer, your concern is creating a great platform to be used in the blockchain. It is up to the marketing team that will create widespread awareness about the platform you create. As long as you have a great marketing team behind you, I think you will have a great future in the industry.

It is a good choice to develop your career as a blockchain developer. This skill is in demand by big organization developing blockchain for their needs.

There are very few of them to begin with. Crypto is a big space but the companies that start crypto business usually start with a team already and it is really hard to get into a crypto career because those companies do not hire thousands of people, they are usually maxed at 50 people at most. Now considering you are looking for remote job as well because it is hard to come by a crypto company near you, that number drops even more.

So you are basically looking for remote jobs at a niche work, which means there are very few of them available. I am looking at places like crypto.jobs daily and when you apply to a job there the most common outcome is they do not even reply to your work. When they reply and you talk with them there is a big chance they don't hire you too. Even if they hire you they are paying peanuts and expecting amazing high quality work because they can find someone else to do the same job for cheaper and better which makes sense for them but a sad fact for you.

Listen up If you have the data to become a professional developer. And you are part of the team. You fear nothing. So how exactly your project and your team can earn a lot of money. Tembolee technology that is now on the market is not where they will not go anywhere, they will only evolve. You should not look at any bands.


Well, if you have doubts, then you shouldn’t do anything.

For me to join as one of the development teams is a tough task, especially when the market situation is falling right now, it must be very difficult to find investor interest. in my opinion, it is quite a bounty hunter.

don't let the market discourage you, being a blockchain developer is the best thing you could do right now.

Blockchain technology is not just for cryptocurrency. Right now many company start using blockchain technology and i am believe people with blockchain skill will needed and paid well.

We need a new Ethereum

Ignore ICOs you can sell your developer skills for money in services section and more often than not there are bounties for devs.

To be a developer is difficult, but this is very much needed for the progress of the blockchain, if you have the ability then develop and channel to get new things in your life, optimistic thinking is something that must be done in order to progress.

I think that now it makes no sense to invest in altcoins :(

I think having a career dream on blockchain is very good. According to Upwork's skills index, the blockchain is the fastest-growing out of more than 5,000 skill on the site. Currently, demand is far outpacing supply. ICO market plummeting don't have a big effect on the blockchain.

This is a tough career to start but if you have the determination, the resources, a good projects and the right people maybe you can create a legit ICO that everyone is aspiring for. Knowledge is also a very strong foundation in order to succeed and make the right decision.

indeed, all jobs have the greatest risk and risk is as an investor. but all risks certainly have tolerance to be minimized, even though they still suffer losses. the size of the risk also determines the outcome

Blockchain developers are the most sought after job in tech and not relating to cryptocurrencies  eg in chain supply, medicine, banking etc because getting an experienced and highly skilled developers is not easy to come by thus you can use this available opportunity to become one, you can visit technical section of the forum there are available links to valuable information leading to becoming a developer.

I think if you want to get a good career in the crypto industry, especially in ICO projects, you have to be able to analyze which projects are good. being a little opportunist is also a good choice, look for projects that give contracts that are promising and make sure they pay regularly, for example monthly salary, don't receive mutual benefits at the end of the project, because when the project fails you won't get anything.

Tell me, what to invest now?

if you want to have a career in the coin it's very good, but at this time the price of the coin is down, but then wake up a good coin

Blockchain Technology is quite broad and not only applicable to ICOs or Cryptocurrencies. This technology was already used on different applications to every industry. I think you have to start part-time to test the waters. What can I say is that we are in need of reliable Blockchain Technology Developer which is really needed on the different legit project. We are more than pleased to welcome you and support you on your new chosen field.

The blockchain related job is a good opportunity for now, alot of development has been made for implementing blockchain technology in different sectors, so there will be  alot of people looking for the people to do that job, and with more people that are interested in that job, blockchain could be develop into a better usage, dont worry about the price falling or the disappearing ICO, there are still many job avaliable for blockchain developer

DAPP is an unprecedented market. Even if the ICO disappears, it still has value. You can do some small games. Some simple benefits can quickly promote your DAPP. When the user community becomes huge, you can make money.

If you have the ability to be a developer, you can invest in encrypted creation because it will bring you enough income! But first you have to build your own team!

Cryptocurrency careers are starting to weaken and not as strong as in 2017, which has a lot of cryptocurrency development and even many platforms that use cryptocurrency as an alternative payment, but this year there are many issues and many news that cryptocurrency is prevented from being used in several certain country.

I'm also very suspicious. I also do not know if the market exists and overcome this difficult period

Do not be sad when the market is falling down. It is not your very concern but instead make use of your time finding good ico team to enhance and to utilize your skill to be more useful in the project.

Blockchain developer has a more higher demand right now due to immersive adoption of cryptocurrencies and many are opening with the projects. And their salary rate is good. So if you are the one, make sure to know more about the related stuff and love your work. The cryptocurrencies needs a good blockchain developer.

Hi All,
I was thinking of starting a career in blockchain projects either as a core developer or a DAPP developer.
But looking at the recent slump and disappearing ICO market, I am having doubts.
Please advise me. Thanks so much.



Looking at the current conditions it seems that blockchain requires reliable and potential developers, where developers will have an important and active role in developing and having a future. If you want to channel your talents then do not hesitate with your abilities, but try and act then this ICO situation is not an obstacle for you.

I think you still can start that thing now. I believe this isn't the end of cryptocurrency.
It's journey is still long way to go, So starting to work on cryptocurrency is the sooner the better.

Crypto is indeed being in bad condition. but the road and the future of crypto is still long. be a part of blockchain or other crypto section will still be things that produce. Moreover, in these conditions, if it wants to enter in the crypto certainly become a good beginning because this is a starting point that matches to follow.

the current destruction did indeed make everyone feel fear and doubt that this was involved in the field of cryptocurency,it's just that we ourselves will not understand what the future be like cryptocurency..
indeed it is in a bad time, but for the next year we cannot predict what the fate of cryptocurency will be, automatically there are 2 possibilities of up or down..
for me personally it's better to pause and wait for next year we will see the fate of cryptocurency..

Looks like this may be the only way to make money out of crypto at the moment  :(

Serioulsy though I think that is a great idea as companies will still push forward withthis technology no matter what the wider marketplace is doing. I think you will set up a good career for the future this way.

I visited the bitcoin technical section but could not find the links. Please post the section or the links. Thanks so much.

which you have to do make it an interesting concept, without ever being made by someone else who has benefits for many people, and does not need to think about the results obtained.
find the right time to start everything from scratch.

career in the world of cryptocurrency you should first be able to learn to become a DAPP developer or blockchain project and of course you should be able to provide the best solutions to world economic problems not only to make projects remain less useful that will make the cryptocurrency world worse.

You can try but the chance that you will leave in plus is not so high. The market seems to be in ruins right now, and I wouldn't risk everything I have right now and try to find another job.

I think that when people choose his profession they should look at three factors:
- they should like doing things which are required in this field;
- there should be a smaller than in average amount of candidates and bigger amount of job proposals in that profession;
- it should not be a short-term decision, the chosen profession should survive for at least next 100 years.
Second and third factors are good for Blockchain developer, but you should be sure about the first.

The market crash has nothing to do with starting a career in block chain. I think having a career as a developer pays well in crypto space, since there are over hundreds of altcoins that are existing and more and more are created as time goes by.

Creating a career or/and making money and passion to some area of interest is completely different things, this things are important parts of success and rarely come together.

Hope so that you will make a right decision with that since we are in the bear market all inside the crypto space is kind of neutral as of now, but who knows that it will still going to be at the highest.

Creating its own coin is a smart move. But it would take a big time, considering some brainstorming activities on the functionality and features on the coin. And it is more expensive. Better to join in a good team that really needs your skills and potential. Rather than making your own coin.

even during a recession, there is work, because the support and creation of projects have been working for more than one year, besides both the stock exchange and all other cryptocurrency objects are supported by the developers
only you need to look for work not here

it seems, a career like this will only last as long as the moment of the blockchain and cryptocurrency is very profitable, and that's when developers look for people who have the above abilities on average as part of their team, if a market like this, it will be very difficult later because investor interest also decreases

We need to see cryptocurrency for what it is,  it is an amazing new protocol for decentralized application not what the mainstream media want us to believe it is.  Nice you internalized ideas of cryptocurrency,  you will be able to find an area of interest you could develop a career in!

If the market gets better soon I think cryptocurrency will still be sought after by many. Surely it would be more and more people will learn cryptocurrency. But if the market I still like crypto thinks this does not look good for the future of crypto.

According to statistics blockchain developers are in very high demand at the moment and this occupation hasn't been affected by the market crash and is likely to increase in future as more and more businesses adopt the technology so it is a worthwhile avenue to pursue career wise but cryptocurrency and crowdsales are separate to this but generally incorporate blockchain technology into their protocol, platform or service

Blockchain is going to be very big in the upcoming decade, so it is for sure a great future job for a lot of people. I have no doubts that such people would be required by the big giants, because they are already starting their blockchain developments.

you know, with this crypto system we can't be sure about careers, not to the extent we can rely on it in the usual system. but to start, it's a great idea because we can't really know unless we try

I think that this is a very profitable business! Make your coin. Perhaps your coin in the future will enter the top 10 cryptocurrency.

do not need to hesitate, because indeed this is what is needed, market prices have to go down to do the next bull, and this is an ordinary season for cryptocurrency,
and my advice is to keep doing what you want to do on the blockchain, even if it's a career.
and don't worry, crypto will still be there.

My friend, I think you will not be difficult to find a decent project to work and earn great money. If you have knowledge in the field of blockchain you will definitely be accepted. I would like to work in the field, but I am no programmer, unfortunately((

If because of this kind of crypto condition into doubt then maybe you can be sure, not ready in this field. When he wanted to become a part of the team of developers including crypto certainly should be able to accept any condition that occurs because it is a risk. Crypto indeed things are uncertain and the results could not be ascertained, when doubts began to come naturally make the decisions taken to be wrong.

You have the advantage of your career if you know the blockchain technology. Because the demand for the blockchain developer right now are big. And in terms of their salary wage, they have big amount of that.

If you want to be part of a team of crypto certainly this could be a good time. Crypto was falling and will certainly need something thing that can change that. It's when there are on this condition however doubt then if returned there in conditions like this again will make a thing that cannot be bypassed.

Current market prices should not make your intention for a career disappear.
learn more about blockchain and find a great team then start your project when you and your team are ready to start it.

If you want to start a career at Crypto, this is a very good time. Even though the market price is now declining and you can use it to invest. Investing in the coins listed in the 10 best coins, in my opinion, is very good. Because more have a greater chance to make a big jump.

Friend it's time to start a career here. Developers are very necessary for this market. First, you need a practice that you can get in the mass ICO. They're looking for people like you. And in the near future you will gather a team and be able to offer people your innovative project. Start!

i just believe crypto will make good career and famous in the whole world hope for best...

Yes, now there is a decline in the market and interest in Crypto. Maybe you should move in a different direction. Otherwise, you may waste your time.

Yes, in a sense, this is a crypto career. Only earlier it was easier to climb the stairs, earning only activity, and now it also needs merit.

Currently, many ICO projects in 2017 have to shrink their activities. As the market goes down, and the money they earn during the ICO is also down. That is why a lot of blockchain programmers lost their jobs. Think about the job market before you start

Share please your opinion
What are the +/- for each one and Why will this one survive?
Maybe there is something that you see and other don't

There are many websites where you can look for vacancies.

The cryptocurrency industry can provide tremendous opportunities to gain knowledge and improve yourself as a specialist.
I can give an example of my friend. He took up the development of trading bots for exchanges, and he manages to earn very well on this.

I think it is very prospectively now to work as a blockchain developer. Many universities open such faculties for their students. My view is that you should find a job there. It's our future.

Yes, now is not the best time for ico, already half a year already. therefore it is better to wait until those times when ico will be in trend again if it ever comes!

I am sure that a good programmer can always earn money. And for this there is no need to work in the cryptocurrency market.

Despite the decline in the market, it is still a hot topic and it will be relevant for a long time, so if you think to start doing it, then start!

Indeed the market is in the state of dropping period, but that doesn't means the market is die.
There are still many chance for the market to recover again, so yo could always start your career in blockchain technology.

I thin you even could start it right now, and you could contribute to the development or fixing the market to be better in the next year.
That the future of crypto could be even better that what it was.

the ICO market slumped. because most ICO projects are not reliable anymore. everyone hopes that if the listing occurs there is a pump in front who will wait, on the contrary, when the ICO listing on the stock exchange, all projects on average experience dumping. that makes everyone a little deterred by the ICO system

Being a DAPP developer isn't for ICOs only.

I think this is a solid forte if you'll ever be creating yourself secure in the future with this or you can expand to become a blockchain developer which will become in demand.

According to the survey of demand for workers in the blockchain industry has increased by 40%, of course this is a good opportunity for someone who understands clearly this technology. Although the market conditions are currently declining, it has nothing to do. Because you will be paid in Fiat instead of cryptocurrency. So what are you waiting for?

The crypto market situation is not bright at the moment but still there are plenty of career opportunities. Development has not stopped and blockchain specialists, software engineers, project leaders can easily find good job offers.

Crypto in under the developing process and still a lot of opportunities inside, most specially for software engineers. It is really hard to find good jobs in crypto if you don't have any skills applicable in there. But you can't just depend on crypto only, better to look another job outside if you have not luck in crypto.

Good developers and good experts in the blockchain area will always have a stable salary and a good income, but this is only if you really have a good experience in the development in this area. Although now you can actually observe some decline in the need for such specialists.

At present all have decreased. But you don't need to hesitate. Because many other projects that still survive in these circumstances depend on how you respond to this and face this situation. We don't know what will happen after this situation. You should not be discouraged by this situation because this is precisely why you learn how to deal with difficult situations and your ideas will be more brilliant for a solid strategy.

You might wait further till the market provides you more opportunity to continue the project you are hoping to. And also, do consider the news and do some fundamental analysis of the situation in order to be sure of your decisions.

Doubts have many people that are working here. Use your doubts wisely when you choosing an ICO or Bounty. It will help you to not make a mistake. If you decide to start work here then go further without hesitation.

On Blockchain there should be no doubt if you have decent skills displayed on Crypto if you want to become a developer, of course market conditions are not so affected because your concept is different and does not depend on the market, if I think you better do your best.

I assume that being a solidity dev is still good money.

If you are good enough then you will earn s lot of money, crypto developers are really wanted, so your salary will not be affected by market condition ;).

Career of crypto is fully bright in the future and no body stop to this revolution which is shining like the star in the sky. Block chain is the new and fast way to record the all entry on the ledger for whole life and not need the keep the data of past transaction.

developing ICO or making the ICO project itself is very good, even in my opinion, I see that now when altcoin prices fall, this is an opportunity for you to make a project, if you can, because of falling prices Now this will make it easier for investors to invest, and rest assured that when the altcoin increases, the price of your tokens will also increase and benefit from it.

lately there are many FUD news that cannot be justified. so if you easily believe in the news that is now, it will be easy t fall into the wrong decision making. being calm and prioritizing search are important

Don't get discouraged by the current slump of the crypto market. You should apply to startup projects that have successful ICO's and have an actual product. The Aelf team is hiring some developers in their developer bounty and they have a very competitive reward. You should try to check them out and be part of their team.

It is good to see people have interest in revolutionizing technology, such as blockchain technology.
Do not be discouraged by what is happening, inasmuch as you have good things to deliver.
Your deliverables and milestones are much more important and will go a long way to determine if you will succeed or not.

Train for the future. You get experience now to get more money later.

Theres no need to worry about ICO markets, ICO market is different with blockchain. You can create blockchain technology without ICOs and it can be implemented in every aspect. You have made the right choice because blockchain developers are very in-demand right now and have a high salary.

began his career as a developer or even a team is not easy. It would be better to start from a simple thing to understand the condition of crypto to produce or gain experience first. It's not easy running things in crypto and if one step then your career is going to be bad on crypto.

Don't doubt your career, as long as you choose the right industry, you won't go wrong. The temporary downturn in the market is normal. You are very good at developing DAPP, I am very envious of you. I can only be called an investor.

This is a very popular direction and if you are a good specialist you will find a successful income, despite the decline in interest in ICO.

Starting a career in blockchain then worrying in ICO not having a good time, its look like you are just after the money, tech evolve weather the market is good or bad

If  the situation in the coinmarketcap there are still many successful ICO. Blockchain developing career is not only tie to developing for only ICO. It is a broad field with diverse opportunity.

I don't think this is a good choice.
but you could consider about blockchain engineer!
the key technology is blockchain, not DAPP
