This highlights just how popular Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies have become.Freelancer's findings show that premier among the new employment opportunities for freelancers within cryptocurrency is the design of new currencies. The continued move towards mainstream acceptance has not only allowed for more currencies to be produced to go alongside Bitcoin, but it has also led to increased demand to grow the industry at the rate it's moving. The launch of more ICOs is the main mover behind the slew of new currencies freelancers are being asked to produce by companies involved in the market.One of the founding aspects of many cryptocurrencies is that they are open source and so the Blockchain technology they are based on can be updated to create new versions of currencies. Within the cryptocurrency job market, this is another niche area that is becoming more and more popular. Skilled Blockchain developers are being sought out by companies eager to produce their own unique version of a cryptocurrency, or a new currency itself.Not only does working in this field mean people get the chance to do something they love, it also brings other perks too.
