JAKARTA - The massive crypto transaction in the country is one of the real implementations of the use of blockchain technology. The presence of blockchain technology makes crypto one of the promising investment asset instruments in the future.

Through blockchain technology, it has had various positive impacts today, not only as a means of investing in crypto, but further away from that, there are several benefits that are felt, one of which is career opportunities.

According to William Sutanto, CTO INDODAX, that the future use of blockchain technology can reach various types of industries, but of course clearer and measurable regulations from the government are needed. He stressed that deep understanding of blockchain technology is very important, especially for those involved in this industry.

"Blockchain is not only about cryptocurrencies, but also about how data can be regulated and secured more effectively. By understanding basic principles and blockchain work mechanisms, we can take full advantage of its potential," William said.

"Blockchain technology has been widely used in all kinds of industries in the global sphere, ranging from financial, supply chain, to game. Hopefully, the Indonesian people can create new things and use cases in the industry so they don't fall behind with foreign countries. Starting from the development of blockchain tech itself, where initially there was only layer1, then layer-2, and now layer-3," he added.

On the other hand, blockchain technology has great potential to transform various industries.

"Blockchain is a digital revolution that can increase efficiency and transparency in various sectors, ranging from finance, logistics, health, to government. This technology opens up opportunities to create a more transparent and efficient system," added William.

Meanwhile, on the side of William's career opportunities, he also highlighted the many career opportunities that arise from the development of blockchain technology.

"There are many career opportunities in the blockchain sector, ranging from technology development to consultation and analysis. Understanding blockchain can open many doors for young professionals in Indonesia, giving them the opportunity to contribute to this fast-growing industry," he said.

He explained that career opportunities in the blockchain industry are not only pegged in the IT sector (developer only), but still require other sectors such as companies outside the blockchain industry, namely Marketing, Sales, Business Development, Social Media, and so on.

"The current situation where supply (people who understand blockchain) is still small, and demand (the blockchain/projects companies) are many, becoming new job opportunities that can be said to be a lot for friends who are looking for work. And not only that, there is even the opportunity to work remotely because more blockchain companies or industries are abroad," he explained while giving a public lecture at Pelita Harapan University.

In addition to the 101 Blockchain Program which visited campuses, William continued, his party also has an INDODAX Academy that can be accessed for free through YouTube channels, websites, and INDODAX social media platforms.

Not only seminars or workshops, but also includes various interactive activities such as panel discussions, practical classes, and crypto trading simulations. This aims to provide a comprehensive learning experience and allow young people to experience the crypto market atmosphere firsthand, "explained William.
