Preface
From the explosive exposure of NFT and Metaverse last year (2022), and then extending to Web3, the discussion brought about by this series of enthusiasm has indeed led to a wave of career changes. Many people are optimistic about what this field can provide. Due to the salary and benefits, they left their original comfort zone one after another and planned to full-time Web3 and show their talents here.
Unexpectedly, the plan could never keep up with the changes. The original "Utopia" turned into a "Despair Town" due to the chain reaction caused by a series of events (Terra ecological collapse, FTX causing black swans, etc.), and once again let the blockchain, Cryptocurrency, NFT and Web3-related words or work have been bombarded by the mainstream media, and even many critics who had nothing to do with it have come out to slap them. This has also led many people to return to the workplace, and even apply for jobs at McDonald's, while the original cross-circle KOLs have returned to their profession and gradually faded out of the crypto circle.
But does this really mean that the future of blockchain is not promising? This article will share with you which of the top ten well-known companies are still optimistic about the development of this industry and continue to recruit new blood to join. Which job search websites are suitable for everyone to find their own Web3 job. Finally, let’s also discuss what is taught in the “Blockchain Analysis License” that the Financial Supervisory Commission sent five prosecutors to take.

Is blockchain analysis of certificates really useful?
The main reason why I wanted to write this paragraph is because Taiwanese officials have said that "virtual currencies" must be strictly controlled, and the Financial Supervisory Commission also said: "Five prosecutors have obtained blockchain analysis licenses." In fact, I saw this news At the time, I was actually quite complicated. In fact, as mentioned before, because of the problems of centralized exchanges, the entire industry was bombarded, and most people even jumped to conclusions without understanding the entire background. , it is a pity.
There are currently 6 blockchain analysis certificates in Chainalysis Certification Programs, which are:
Cryptocurrency Fundamentals Certificatio (CFCC): The course outline is to understand Bitcoin, altcoins, block explorers, application cases and basic monitoring compliance and blockchain analysis, mostly focusing on the most basic cryptocurrency basics. (Pricing: $699~$799)
Chainalysis Reactor Certification (CRC): Understand the company's data and tool applications, Bitcoin transaction basics and reactor knowledge, and there will also be training, unknown address and Mixers analysis teaching. (Pricing: $699~$799)
Chainalysis KYT Certification (CKT): Mainly teaches the use of Chainalysis KYT and Reactor, establishes appropriate on-chain compliance workflows, and investigates risky areas. (List price: $449)
Chainalysis Investigation Specialist Certification (CISC): Transaction and address characteristic analysis, advanced wallet behavior and various on-chain obfuscation techniques. It also talks about decentralized exchanges and CoinJoins (similar to token mixing). (List price: $1,349)
Chainalysis Ethereum Investigations Certification (CEIC): Get to know and understand Ethereum, and review and investigate considerations for smart contracts and DeFi. (List price: $1,099)
Chainalysis Risk and Regulation Training (CRRT): Includes topics such as "Industry Risks of Cryptocurrency and International Regulatory Guidelines", "Off-Chain Risk Management", "On-Chain Risks and Transaction Monitoring". (List price: $999)
As for whether completing all the above courses will really have a sufficient understanding of the blockchain industry, although this is difficult to say, it can at least satisfy the government agencies to supplement basic information. With the assistance of tools, it may allow prosecutors to get closer to the district. The field of blockchain. However, I personally think there is still a long way to go before real blockchain analysis. After all, the information in this field is updated too fast, and the content taught in license courses alone must be limited; we really need to let more people know about it. What exactly is the blockchain industry doing? To get more people to invest, continued construction and efforts are needed.
in conclusion
Returning to the topic of this article, although it seems from many aspects that the entire encryption industry is being suppressed, whether it is Taiwan’s desire to strictly control “virtual currencies” mentioned above, or the dispute between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Kraken, or Charlie Munger frequently calls for the United States to ban cryptocurrencies and other issues; in fact, this does not affect the fact that some companies are still optimistic about the future development of the blockchain and encryption market. After all, in business, businessmen will run wherever they have interests. It is impossible not to share the developing pie, and this should be true.
It is also because this market is still small, so small that the total market value of the entire encryption market (USD 1 trillion) is only half of Microsoft (USD 1.96 trillion), so there are more opportunities to develop and more ideas waiting to be explored. , and the ecology of many chains has been developing well recently. Anyone who has actually operated Arbitrum should be able to understand the transaction process, which may be simpler and smoother than using online banking.
Therefore, I think it is not a problem for blockchain and Web3 to fully penetrate the enterprise. It is only a matter of time before they even launch practical applications and services, so focus your attention on the application development of the industry! If you still focus solely on investment speculation, fraud, money laundering tools and other issues, you may never know why some people are always able to grasp the trend immediately.
Finally, I wholeheartedly agree that Taiwan should strictly control "Virtual Currency". Please trouble third-party payment, banks, merchants and game points to all be managed. As for "Crypto Currency", I really don't know. How to manage.
