Not sure how many jobs were created. But, I left my full time job to become full time bitcoiner.

No one can give an accurate number. I estimate full time jobs created it is in the thousands and part time freelance jobs are in tens of thousands.

250,000 jobs? What are they smoking? That's probably more than there are active and regular users of Bitcoin itself. Even the biggest and bloatiest crypto companies like Coinbase can't be employing more a than a few tens, or maybe hundreds, of people. |

I would probably say it's around 10-20k jobs created in the bitcoin/crypto currency field. More jobs will be created in the future once bitcoin gets more popular. |

I think I saw a job posting for JP Morgan where they were hiring one crypto person. If a giant bank is only bringing on one person, I wonder how many new jobs there could possibly be?

More jobs will be created in the future once bitcoin gets more popular. actually i think it would make sense if you include every little job(not just big one), and if we consider that there are more than 2.5M people that own bitcoin, we end up with 10% of those working on those jobs although I'm not 100% sure if it's fake or not |

Curious ... I write for a bitcoin website and I get paid in bitcoin. Does that mean that bitcoin created a job for me? What if it's just freelance and I already have a full time job? Interesting conversations.

on the flipside, soon as price hits sub $100 ... most of those jobs will be history. The Bitcoin ecosystem is gonna shrink to nearly nothing.

That's actually a very fair point. I wrote for Inside Bitcoins and they had to cut the editorial budget because the price had dropped to a point that many people were just not going to the conferences like they had used to. Though it could be argued that many of the applications being built are not impacted too much by the price; it's just us long-term holders. |

I just finished a small gig the other day...see thread here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1016939.0 Honestly if the price dropped to 100USD I'd do the gig all over. But at 50USD I'd have to have an expense account. fdyl |

More bitcoin companies will be built in the future and that's mean more bitcoin related jobs. It's just a matter of time until you see "bitcoin specialist" in job category section of job networks like elance or odesk.

Companies like Xapo are creating new services: basically banks for Bitcoin. All their security measures will need for new jobs to take care of people's Bitcoins.

The real question is how many jobs with bitcoin eliminate. The financial sector stands to lose a large percentage if/when bitcoin goes more mainstream. Here's to hoping for that day.

Not many if things keep going the way they are for Bitcoin. Lower prices, scam after scam after scam.... whos gonna trust that shit? The ratio of scams to actual good commerce in Bitcoinland compared to fiatland is hilarious. |

that would be hard to tell because theres no data surronding this but what I can tell you is when microsoft and other big companies decided to accept bitcoin they had to employ people who are used to the system and know how to use it.

And 3,500,000 jobs were created in 2014. Bitcoin 20k jobs? Id like to know how many coinbase employes I feel they probably have the most, or bitpay. If I were to guess... 5k jobs is to many. |

If you also think about it, there have been a lot more jobs than we can imagine.
Jobs within ISIS, for someone to help them, with their ransoms, and setting up bitcoin storages etc. There are a lot of other jobs as well/ Conferences/Silk road cases/etc which are directly a result of bitcoin. So there is no way to estimate it.

There is not and I suppose won't be an estimated number of jobs bitcoin created. It is just too hard to count accurately or even approximately. I know, however that bitcoin indeed created some opportunities for people and give them jobs. While it is hard to link directly bitcoin with number of jobs created as now I think it is more that people are imagining. As for the future when bitcoin will be even stronger that number will increase. |
