Over the past three to four decades, technological advancement has been a powerhouse for job creation across industries. While automation often gets blamed for displacing workers, the data tells a different story. Technology doesn't just replace jobs—it fundamentally transforms labor markets, creating entirely new categories of work that didn't exist before.



Think about it: the digital revolution spawned countless roles in software development, data analytics, digital marketing, cybersecurity, and countless other fields. The internet economy alone birthed millions of positions globally. Even as certain manual roles shifted, the tech sector's explosive growth has continuously opened doors for new opportunities.

This same principle applies to blockchain and crypto ecosystems. Every major innovation wave generates new skill demands and career paths. As the Web3 space evolves, we're witnessing similar dynamics—demand for smart contract developers, DeFi analysts, NFT creators, and blockchain infrastructure roles keeps multiplying.

The takeaway? Technology doesn't kill employment. It reshapes it. Understanding this pattern helps contextualize current market shifts and emerging opportunities in rapidly evolving sectors.

That makes sense, but it feels a bit too optimistic. Now it's getting insanely competitive.

Well said, the idea that automation kills jobs has long been debunked. Now, in crypto, it's the same story, with new roles emerging all the time.

Technology is not the culprit behind layoffs, but rather the alchemy stone for career rebirth. The launch window for Web3 has just opened, and new roles like smart contract developers and DeFi analysts are already taking off. Don't panic, this is just an orbit adjustment.

That's right, I just can't understand what those people who keep shouting that AI will cause unemployment are thinking. The same goes for crypto—every time someone says it's doomed, but in fact, there are more opportunities instead.

That's right, that's the principle. But the environment in the country is different, so we still need to focus on developing technology.
