Opportunity cost. I have long come to accept the fact that nothing simply goes for something. There is always a trade-off involved in every decision taken and something is made to thrive while another suffers.

You can't eat your cake and Have it

This is perhaps why specialization was widely recommended by economists and embraced by the masses. It simply didn't pay to be a Jack of all trades, and a master of none.

Is there a cost attached to specialization though? Usually the process of becoming specialized at something involves going through the conventional education system and reaching the peak of either education or experience. It seems to me like a fair bit of freedom comes as the price to such a trade-off.

These days specialization is still very important, but there is increasing evidence that the future belongs to the flexible, or at least those who can grab opportunities regardless of how they are poised.

Skilled Enough fun Opportunities

The important thing these days is whether one is sufficiently skilled enough to take advantage of the opportunities presented to us. Specialization still pays a lot of people greatly and is still heavily recommend, especially for medical personnel, engineers and craftsmen.

However the rest of us require certain flexibilities in our jobs that can ensure we are able to move from one job opening to another. Employers know this, and that is perhaps why there is a sort of competition going on to pad CVs in the best way possible in order to beat the competition.

Crypto and Opportunities

The crypto space brings with it a lot of opportunities, and much of it does not require specialization. While there is a certain role skilled developers get to play and profit, it is still very much open to everyone.

We all talk about the low barrier for entry here on Hive for instance. Well what does it take? All it takes to get in here is the base fundamentals of reading and writing and a bit of financial knowledge, which can be built from here on.

What would it cost?
There are very few forgone alternatives as far as the he Hive chain is concerned because participation here can simply be combined with any job description elsewhere or skill acquisition. Perhaps the only true alternative that is truly forgone is a bit of time.

Conclusion

Crypto is too big an opportunity to pass up no matter what you do. It allows us opportunities regardless of what we trade in and demands very little as a trade-off. Let's all get in.
