A friend asked me why I decided to do DeFi. It wasn’t about chasing tokens; it was about career durability. I’m a software engineer staring at a saturated market, and I want a skill set that still feels scarce in ten or thirty years. DeFi is remote-first, which matches how I want to work, and it rewards people who understand how money actually moves—not just how to ship another backend API.
