18.8.1. "How can I make money in crypto?"
- crypto experts are hired by software companies
+ start up companies
- a tough road
- not clear that even Phil Zimmermann has made money
- and even RSADSI is facing a challenge (hasn't gone
public, not a cash cow, etc.)
- There may be an explosive growth--the phase change I often
talk about--and many opportunities will emerge. But, having
said this, I still don't see obvious opportunities right
now. And starting a company based on hope and ideology,
rather than supplying a real market or pushing real
technology (market pull vs. technology push argument) seem
misguided.
