In crypto, you learn about so much more than just crypto.
CompSci, economics, politics, philosophy, history, writing, marketing, community building, etc etc.
Crypto will turn you into a more well-rounded person.
It's part of the job.

No paper better explains why crypto is so much more than just numbers on a screen.

Our Wealth Problem.
Wealth for our parents used to be:
• Get decent grades
• Went to college
• Get a 9-5
• Buy a home
• Save money and retire
But no longer is this the most viable or interesting path to pursue.

Long gone are the days where you could pay for college with a summer job, get a gentleman’s C, secure a comfy 9-5, and pay for a home by 30.
Inflation is making it a lot harder to "make it" these days.

This couldn't be farther from the truth in crypto.
In crypto, it doesn't matter where you went to school or who your father is.
All that matters is your knowledge and portfolio of relevant work.
A true meritocracy.

If I told an older person I was to go into finance or consulting, they would congratulate me
If I told them I was going into crypto, I would get confused looks
That skepticism is only given to careers on the cutting edge
If you want to be where the innovation is, choose crypto

Your portfolio should be tailored to the job you want.
If you want to be a researcher/analyst, write articles.
If you want to be a dev, build projects.
If you want to be a designer, create graphics.
You have to put in unseen hours.

If one needs to go to college to make it, how do they pay off the debt?
The answer is they have to major in a marketable field that has the potential to make some bread.
Aka, STEM or finance.
If you really like that stuff, congrats man.
If you don’t, you’re fucked.

What is the key innovation of crypto?

Absorb as many tweets, articles, telegrams, and discords as you can.
And never stop learning.
In a field as fast-moving as crypto, you can never be complacent.

People aren’t stupid, and they’ve figured out that in order to keep up with the rising costs, they need to get to higher income brackets.
There is an over-saturation of college students.
Making it harder for anyone to actually land a job.

1/ Learn, learn, and learn some more
Because crypto is a meritocracy, you need to out-merit others to make it.
How do you do that?
By knowing more than them.

The problem with finance is that it's purposeless.
You're working your ass off and you don't even really know why.
I'm telling you to choose crypto instead.
You'll still make the money you need, but in a much more interesting and meaningful work environment.

5/ Get Involved
It's possible you're going to have to do some free or cheap work before you get paid.
Freelance write. Contribute to a DAO. Get an internship.
It really doesn't matter what you do.
What matters is that you prove yourself.

However, in crypto, the upside is limitless.
You're still early enough to meaningfully shape the future of the space.
The ceiling is as high as you're willing to work to make it.

2/ Start Investing
Getting some skin in the game is one of the best ways to get motivated.
It will also teach you things you can't learn otherwise.
You'll become comfortable on-chain, using dApps, and bridging.
Think of it as your hands-on "practical" education.

3/ Build a Portfolio
Applying for work in crypto requires more than just a resume.
You need a portfolio of work that shows your abilities.
It's how you show off that knowledge you've been grinding for.

Why do you think so many of the elites dislike crypto?
It's because crypto is a movement against government mismanagement and overreach.
A movement for sovereignty and against authoritarianism.
And it might represent our last chance.

Key Takeaways:
• It's a hard world to make it in.
• Crypto is an attractive alternative to legacy fields like finance.
• The only thing that can prevent you from having success in crypto is your work ethic.
• The ceiling is as high as you make it.

The question is then, "what does somebody who is not into STEM do to make it that isn't selling their soul to wall street?"
One possible answer would be investing.
But let's be real: most traders lose money, and you're no Warren Buffet.

2/ Accessibility
Finance, law, and consulting are not careers you can just walk into.
It's exclusive.
You're not getting the job if you didn't go to a top school, major in a relevant field, and land internships.
Resumes matter more than ability.

Historically, the wage slavery of choice for college grads not into STEM was finance.
It makes sense. It pays well and gives "options".
The only problem is the job sucks and many absolutely hate the work.

For the vast majority of people, investing is only profitable over a long time horizon.
Obviously, this isn't helpful for "making it" in the short-medium term.
You're still going to have to be a wage slave for a while.

3/ Upward Mobility
Choosing a legacy field like finance is choosing a slightly higher floor but much lower ceiling.
The story of these fields is already written.
Sure, you might climb the corporate ladder.
But you're never going to change the game.

I've been a freelance writer for almost 2 years now. I've written for millions of people, made friends, and made more money than I ever could've dreamed from a first "job".

4/ Variety of Study
In legacy fields, you only learn as much as you need to do the job well.
Finance? You learn about finance.
Law? You learn about law.
Consulting? You learn about powerpoint.

10/ The Tornado Cash Situation
I don't have a specific read for this one. The scariest situation of them all doesn't need one.
The sanctioning of code. The arrest of a dev. The blacklisting of addresses.
It was the reminder we needed that the fight for our future is now.

1/ The Technology
Finance is stale. It does what it does well, but it's not on the frontier of anything.
Crypto, on the hand, is on the frontier of technology.
How do I know this?
By people's reactions.
