#31. Rewrite everything in Go or Rust for the sake of it.
2. Pretend AWS and DNS do not exist and that the web is decentralized.
3. Read blockchain. Lots of it. Write about it more than you read about it.
4. Success. Let the big bucks rain on you.
But seriously, are you considering getting into this just for the bucks? I'd suggest you check out what Moxie and other respectable folks have to say about this first, e.g:

You can read about many more fiascos online. I think there are a million more interesting things to get into. The nice thing about recessions is that it cuts out much of the BS, and we've already seen quite a few of these startups go down for good.

There's an emphasis on bad NFTs in this article, but some NFT projects encode the traits of the collectible into the token itself, or host images from a decentralised source like IPFS. Bored Apes do this, for instance.
Yes, there's are bad ways to misuse NFTs and do things incorrectly. That shouldn't mean that the entire concept is flawed.

#6Determine what part of the stack you want to be on
Most projects are smart contracts, so thats Solidity and browser frontends like React
whereas in the Solana ecosystem both the node software and the smart contracts are written in Rust
amongst smart contracts there are about a dozen sectors:
Lending
Staking
Insurance
Options
Futures
AMMs
Optimizers
All the way over to NFTs
Within NFTs there are about 5 distinct sectors too, with the most action and capital occurring in the NFT collections space, followed by NFT marketplaces
and then after all that there are Web 2.0 style SaaS companies that provide services to web 3 customers for subscription fees. thats probably the most boring because they cant juice your compensation with tokens or publicly traded shares.
so pick your sector first.

Developer DAO is a good place to start

I have been in the bitcoin/blockchain space since 2010. This joking advice is actually not half bad.
