Your friend who’s been diving into the crypto world since 2017. Picture me back in the day, hustling as an electrical apprentice, then jumping into telecom with Telstra for five years, wires, deals, the lot. I thought that was my lane, but crypto flipped the script. Now, I’m chasing a dream gig in this wild space and it’s got me hungrier than ever. Crypto’s not just coins. It’s jobs, it’s telecom getting a Web3 makeover, and it’s a shot at something bigger. Let’s unpack how I got here and how you can chase your own crypto dream too!

Rewind to 2017. I’m scrolling Twitter, some guy’s yelling about Bitcoin being the future, and I’m like, “Yeah, right.” But it stuck. I dug into Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana "my $18 Solana buy stash is still a keeper" and soon I’m flipping NFTs to snag my first house. Telecom was my bread and butter, five years cutting deals with partners but crypto was calling. I’ve been grinding to break into this industry ever since, chasing roles where I can mix my account exec hustle with blockchain passion. It’s not just a paycheck. It’s a whole new game, and I’m all in!

Here’s the kicker. Crypto’s jobs go way beyond coding. I’ve been hitting up virtual meetups on X and Warpcast, connecting with people from Base and Sonic, and it’s wild how many gigs are out there. You can even check them out for yourself! Business development? Check someone’s gotta pitch dApps to companies. Account execs? Yup, think managing partnerships for chains like Sui. Even my telecom skillset, Customer Experience, Client Discovery they all fit right in. X is buzzing about openings in 2025, from marketing to ops, and it’s not just startups. Big players are hiring too. It’s like my old world, but with a blockchain twist!

Speaking of old worlds, telecom’s where I cut my teeth, and guess what? Crypto’s crashing that party. Back at Telstra, we’d sweat over cross-border payments—slow, pricey, a nightmare. Now, stuff like Acctual on Arbitrum’s settling invoices in seconds. I wish I’d had that then! Loyalty programs? Forget points—airlines are testing NFT perks. Supply chains? Blockchain’s tracking gear, no fakes allowed. It’s my past meeting my future, and it’s got me rethinking every deal I ever closed. Crypto’s not just a job—it’s rewiring how we connect!

So, how am I chasing this crypto gig? It’s hustle, pure and simple. I’m on X daily—building my following, vibing with my journey. Hitting Warpcast, LinkedIn, the works. Virtual meetups are gold, I’ve pitched myself to teams, no suit required. My telecom grit, five years of “yes” from tough clients definitely helps, but I’m learning too. Solidity? Nope, not me, but I get the biz side. I’m eyeing roles where I can bridge Web3 dreams and businesses of tomorrow, Onboarding correctly and shaping the future of adoption, and it’s paying off, chats are flowing and network is growing and I know its only a matter of time until the we're apart of an amazing team, I can just feel it!

Wanna jump in? You don’t need to be a tech wizard. I wasn’t. Start where I did, get curious. Scroll X, join a Discord, see what teams like Base are building. Got sales chops or client skills? That’s your ticket, crypto needs talkers, not just coders. Hit up virtual events, I’ve met legends that way. It’s not about coin flipping. It’s about landing a gig that fits, whether it’s pushing dApps or hyping a chain. My Telstra days taught me grit, yours could too!

This is where it hits me. Crypto’s not just buying and selling, it’s a whole damn world. Jobs are sprouting and I’m chasing a dream I didn’t know I had from 2017. It’s like my old telecom tools got a jetpack. Maybe it’s not about the cash, but the chance to build something new. What’s that spark for you?

Maybe Crypto & Web3 Jobs will help bring the world onchain, one dream at a time! I’m feeling hopeful, and I bet y’all are too. What’s your crypto gig vibe or how’s your old world meeting this new one? Drop your thoughts below, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
