This is for you if:
You already know how to develop CRUD and REST API for a monolith.
Relational databases are too stable, and honestly, a bit boring.
Micro-services are a nightmare.
Blockchain database has a unique peer-to-peer autonomous design. You learn Go, Cryptography, Event-Based Architecture, and other concepts required for Web 3.0 vision.
Blockchain Development is the most emerging job position, with unparalleled 33x growth. Source.
High demand and few good developers, means you'll be able to set the price, and terms you're happy with.
Remote blockchain developers can earn up to $200,000. Source.
Web 3.0 core principles aim to reduce corruption in the world and improve transparency in all industries from shipping, manufacturing, trading, and others.
Focus on data privacy. There is no reason your Instagram vacation picture, should be stored in a commercial database for sale to advertisers.
Free speech, a basic human right.
To explore what you can program and achieve with blockchain programming it's best to look at what's being done right now.
Blockchain saves data in an immutable distributed ledger. Every participant can monitor and control its funds independently, safely, and in real-time.
You don't need a bank account to manage your wealth - all you need is a Private Key. If you can safely secure 24 secret words, you can travel the world, migrate to another country, or in the worst case - escape a war.
No centralized entity can restrict you the access to your financial assets depending on your political views and geographical location.
Thanks to the distributed, tamper-proof blockchain records, Companies such as Wallmart, FedEx track their products across the globe.
Cryptographically secured documents, their exchange, and location.

Verify the authenticity of digital messages or documents.
Companies can plug-in into the blockchain systems and don't have to re-invent the security protocols and suffer unnecessary data breaches.
9/10 devs don't understand blockchain (not in the programming sense), but in the "why does this exist sense".
"It's slow", "it's useless" – "it's NOT".
Everything we know about blockchain tells us it's innovative, it's in demand, and it's changing the world. I can't change your mind and how you feel about it, and honestly, I'm amazed you got this far down the page.
When you understand how powerful blockchain is.
When you know it's going to be a learning curve.
When you can see how it'll change industries.
And you're still reading, then there's only 1 thing left to do.
