Blockchain technology has made head-lines for the past 18 months as the next-generation solution to many of the technology industry’s problems. As a result, blockchain technology’s job market is exploding. Know as one of the most dynamic technologies of all times, blockchain technology is making its way into university curriculums, company databases and supply chains.
Currently, there is surging demand for blockchain technology related skill sets. However, since there is no tried and tested path to the technology’s success, the world is a little slow in catching up to the technology’s growth.
People wishing to enter a career in blockchain technology will definitely follow a divergent path to that of tech entrepreneurs we know of. Blockchain technology career-seekers can develop their tech-skills outside of a university curriculum as well.
Research into the basics
Advanced technical skills in JavaScript for web-developments and exploring Solidity, a programming language for developing smart contracts are good starting points. Online comprehensive courses are also available for aspiring blockchain technology developers.
Learn about cryptography
Blockchain technology is well-known for being cryptographic software. The technology protects and secures digital assets through cryptography. Advanced training in cryptography is accessible online and is also affordable at reputable sites like Udacity and Coursera.
Applying distributive computing theory
Distributed computer programming is possible today and the best examples are digital currencies. Blockchain technology brought this solution to virtual currencies is a highly refined practice. However, scalability and huge energy consumptions are still being studied and require solutions. This problem is a great area for research for aspiring students in blockchain technology.
Maintain a reputed community presence
Try and reach out to start-ups in the blockchain industry that would be willing to accept your services. Also contact research institutes or sponsors who are willing to support your blockchain technology research; because frankly, there aren’t many blockchain tech-services available which do not require extensive research before application.
Explore DIY options
Blockchain technology enthusiasts should not sit back and await investment for their education; in today’s age and available resources, it’s possible to start your own project. It’s easier to streamline the process through self-research than through a guided program.

Great article! I found it interesting.
Talking about ICOs, after doing your own research, also finding good ICO projects can be profitable.
I want to share with you guys a new exciting project I have just discovered: RAWG.
Look at this article where the team explains:
“Why the games market needs RAWG”
https://medium.com/rawg/wp-bits-1-why-the-games-market-needs-rawg-ccf039c0bae7
The ICO will start in a short period and they are at the moment in pre-ICO phase. This is the site: https://token.rawg.io/. It's a video game discovery platform that converts your skills into goods and services (the site is already working, with more than 57,000 games in the database).
Have a look and get some information while doing your own research!
