Lots of people dont take crypto seriously because it’s new, and it’s digital money, so why should it be seen as something serious? Reminds me of fate early days of having a career in sports, no one used to take career sports seriously. 40 years ago, imagine telling your parents that you want to be a professional soccer player, no one will take you seriously, because we have other professions like doctors, engineers, pilot, professions with integrity. Soccer is a form of entertainment, so it wasn’t seen as a serious profession to take.

Today, athlete earn more than what doctors and engineers earn, all thanks to media, internet, social media and other means that make sports rewarding. Now, everyone wants their kids to be into an athletic profession because, sports pay people a lot now. See crypto like that, currently, not a lot of people know the potential of crypto or see it as something serious, they see it to be a dumb money that shouldn’t be taken seriously. Having a crypto job is seen as a good choice, because, you can be a product designer, project manager, blockchain developer and build a career in crypto. But can you build a career from making money in the crypto ecosystem through interaction, like airdrop hunter, DeFi and the rest of them?
The answer is yes and no, its yes because, lots of people have been doing it, lots of airdrop hunters have made life changing wealth through crypto, few weeks ago zeta airdrop paid some people upto $40k worth of zeta, that is massively impressively. Why is the answer also No? Because, crypto is highly risky, nothing is promised, it’s not like your regular job where you receive monthly salary, things happen, airdrop can disappoint you, your wallet can get hacked. The profit is not promised, if you dont grind and stay consistent, you dont get rewarded.
