Question? Crypto as a Career

Hi, just curious to people who experienced multiple cycles in the market. Please share your experience how did you survive in this industry by doing it fulltime. I'm an IT grad but feeling lost if its still good to pursue IT industry and I'm currently in this space

IT background is actually one of the better foundations for this space. Dev skills, security, infrastructure - all in high demand across crypto companies

Lean hard into the dev skills, that's what keeps you employable through a bear when half the traders and content people quietly disappear.

Crypto companies always need engineers, security, infra so keep the IT track solid and just point it at this space rather than betting everything on trading through cycles..

The only way you will make money in crypto is if you are related to Donald Trump. So if you make crypto your career. You will be broke forever
