Right now, skilled blockchain technologists are in high demand, and consequently, they are earning very lucrative wages. Even as more IT professionals become qualified blockchain technologists, however, the demand isn’t expected to slow down much. That’s because blockchain technology is transferable to other specialty fields, not just cryptocurrency. It’s still in its infancy, but some experts have theorized that blockchain tech may have uses in any situation in which parties need authentic records of ownership, yet wish to avoid third parties. One prime example is the establishment of personal identity. Blockchain tech may help thwart identity thieves in the future by giving strict control of a person’s identifying information to him or herself.
