One year ago, I walked out of my corporate job and into the wild west of crypto freelancing.

Today I make a living working with top web3 teams, creating content and helping people stay safe onchain. 🛡

Here are 15 things I wish I knew before going full-time crypto in 2024 🧵

🛡️ I teach Web3 wallet safety so you don’t learn it the hard way

1. You don't need a huge audience.
Clients come from the right followers, not from vanity metrics.
A tight 4-figure following in the right niche can open every door you need.

4. Have an emergency fund.
Freelance life = variable income.
One slow month shouldn't force you back into a 9 to 5.
Your buffer lets you pay taxes, cover surprise expenses, and buy tools without worrying about rent.
Give yourself some financial breathing room. Your mental health will thank you. 🧘‍♂️

3. Get paid in stables.
Learn this before the market teaches it to you.
If you're paid in volatile tokens, and they drop 50% overnight, you're still taxed on the full amount.
🇩🇪 readers: That's "Zuflussbesteuerung" and it hits hard if you're not careful.

2. Your network is your net worth.
Sounds cheesy, I know.
I had already built a bit of a presence before quitting my job, but the real growth came after. Crypto is still small, and those relationships snowball once you start connecting with people.
