That might seem big, but this industry is projected to grow even further in the next couple of years. This boom has opened the job market for developers in cryptocurrency. These include smart contract programmers, on-chain analytics specialists, and cryptography experts.

A Wave Of Innovation

The boom in cryptocurrency has created an industry that is bringing innovation to finance with new products and tools. One of these products is Bitcoin ATMs (BTMs).
