At the beginning of the new year, an in-depth conversation with a friend sparked some thoughts: in fact, no industry is truly immune to change.
AI and automation are eroding white-collar and administrative jobs — this is not alarmist. Robotics technology is also reshaping blue-collar and manual labor sectors. In the short term, it's about efficiency gains; in the long term, what about? The occupational structure is quietly being rewritten.
What will happen next is anyone's guess. But one thing is certain: the traditional employment landscape will inevitably be reorganized. The question is not whether it will happen, but who can adapt to these changes more quickly. Web3 and the decentralized economy may offer new pathways for this transition.

Algorithm eating up white-collar workers is just the first phase of the launch sequence; the real orbital breakthrough is still ahead.

Basically, it's forced to upgrade—either keep up or be eliminated... Web3 still has room for imagination; it depends on who gets on board first.

Instead of waiting to be eliminated, it's better to start experimenting with new things now. Web3 is definitely worth getting on board with, although the risks are also quite high.

Really, traditional employment is still dreaming; little do they know the world has already been accelerating.
Although many people criticize Web3, at least it offers us new possibilities, doesn't it? Compared to being replaced by algorithms, I prefer to actively control my data and assets.
If you can't adapt, you really can only exit.

To be honest, I don't really believe in the Web3 hype either. It just feels like another scheme to scam retail investors.
