Job opportunities provided by the Bitcoin ecosystem, beyond software development. When you change one of the most fundamental technologies (money), anything and everything that is touched by it will be affected.The user composition of the Bitcoin community is becoming more diverse and the mainstream consciousness is changing over time. There are dentists, hairdressers, and cab drivers who have now heard of Bitcoin. We really need graphic designers, UX/UI designers, and customer service people to contribute. We need accountants who are willing to learn to understand this new form of money. Artists can now bypass the intermediaries and connect directly to their audience.

  1. I have the exact answer to the question: By what value is backed Bitcoin?
    Blockchain based currency is a network backed by miners that is capable of processing, at the moment, about 7 transaction per second and that gives the power to its users of not having to use any intermediary like banks, use the currency they believe is the most adapted to their needs, create smart contract and be totally free. By this definition, cryptocurrency’s value is the power of their network and this power is given to its users by the fact that there are huge infrastructures that are supporting the network. The point of view of this definition of blockchain based crypto currency contains the answer to the question «On witch value are cryptocurrency based on?». This value is all the infrastructures used to mine and process the transactions.
