Every economic era rewards different skills.
Agriculture rewarded farmers.
Industrialization rewarded factory workers.
The Information Age rewarded software and data.
Web3 is no different.
Kaito proved something interesting, It didn’t just build a product.
It created an economy where projects could efficiently distribute opportunities to creators, KOLs, content creators, video creators and ambassadors.
Now memecoins dominate attention.
The question is:
Where is the equivalent infrastructure for the trench economy?
Today, most of the value flows to launchpads, trading bots and platforms like DexScreener (Dex Paid).
If projects can’t efficiently discover and reward the people who create value around them, how do new opportunities emerge?
Maybe the real question isn’t:
“Why are there no jobs in Web3?”
Maybe it’s:
What infrastructure does the current market regime need to distribute opportunity?
You are probably jobless in Web3 because you misunderstood how the market creates opportunities.
One pattern I’ve observed from studying the Web3 job market is this:
Market regimes determine which skills get rewarded.
When protocols dominated, Engineers, KOLs, Analysts, Community Managers/Moderators and content/Video Ambassadors were in demand.
Then Kaito created an economy around creators, KOLs and attention.
Today, memecoins dominate attention.
The opportunities didn’t disappear.
They shifted toward traders, bot developers, trench KOLs, launch infrastructure and analytics.
Most people are still positioning themselves for yesterday’s market.
This is one of my Philosophy Analyses.
My hypothesis is : Why are so many people unemployed in Web3 despite high market activity, and could the answer be that attention has shifted to a new market regime whose opportunities reward a different set of skills?
@Baheet_ One thing I’ve noticed is soon
When researching using x(grok), post from your thesis get used as source instead of normal google and publishing platforms
Have you noticed that?

Just imagine if RWAs dominated attention instead of memecoins.
Guess how many jobless Web3 X users would suddenly become employed.
Threads would be written.
Communities would be managed.
KOLs would promote products and secure partnerships.
Content creators and video creators would have campaigns.
Researchers and analysts would have projects to study.
Traders and investors would continue doing what they do.
The talent isn't missing.
The infrastructure that exposes opportunities is.
Kaito proved this, It didn't create creators.
It created infrastructure that efficiently distributed opportunities to them.
Today, the trench economy has attention.
The question is:
Where is the infrastructure that distributes opportunities around it?
Who’s building this??
@drdash960 This will give u clarity
As a data analyst I can analyze any market conditions this because I have the understanding of the skill and how it can be applicable to any industry web3 or web2
So yea, you just need to think deeper, take your time.
@Lamza_01 You don’t have to build alone, there other builders looking for good thinkers like you
Ask from your network of friends who can build
It’s so easy.
I think opening opportunities to all sort of ppl in different demo graph is accurately better than a set of talent getting all deals.
The question is whether the memecoin economy eventually develops similar infrastructure for traders, researchers, builders and promoters.
This research is getting interesting lol.cus I’m seeing possible opportunities.
