Jobs für alle! Was sagt Ihr dazu?

Mir fallen ja gleich mal Leute ein - das ist die Chance aus dem Corporate Central Umfeld auszubrechen! Aber Solidity? ETH? Hmmmm - ich kenn mich mit den Tiefen der Ketten nicht aus, aber eventuell wie man Blockchain Themen in neue Höhen treiben kann.

Blurt, Hive, Steem, WLS community folks to rule the world soon?

So it has been said, reported and now also backed-up by facts that Blockchain skills are key to make a career these days! Does that mean all our social community blockchains will lose all its members as they are so strong to become future industry leaders? Or will EOS followers take over the demand and rule the future tech world? Interesting to read, not surprising but a bit as discovered on LinkedIn.
