New primitives
Innovation here is rampant. We are barely tapping into the uses of this tech & there are new frontiers discovered every day

Determination
Making money here isn’t easy.
In crypto, you either make money or end up learning a lesson.
Don’t let a few bad trades bring down your confidence & instead reflect upon these decisions and apply what you’ve learned in the future

Patience
Having a long term outlook in this space is key.
Alpha doesn’t always come around a lot, but when it does it rewards heavily.
Missing out on an opportunity is better than pulling the trigger & being wrong.
Remember, all it takes is one trade.

Not only will it be useful in a variety of fields outside of crypto, but it will also place you years ahead of your competitors.
Additionally, demand for developers has gone exponential, & established solidity devs/auditors are making upwards of $200k/yr

Learning your way around Github & following the contributions of these devs will get you in on quality projects first

Go out on your own
