Crypto salaries in 2025? Here’s what each role earns. 🧵
Crypto still pays 2–5x more than Web2, but not every role is equal.
Here’s what the data says about salaries across dev, comms, marketing, and more:

Unpopular opinion:
Crypto died in 2021 and we have been trading the corpse ever since.
There are no more pigs left to slaughter since everyone became aware that crypto as a whole is a scam.
The belief system that made this industry work has completely collapsed.
At least in 2017 people actually believed in those crazy ICOs or whenever a new chain would come out.
There was genuine excitement, real conviction behind every project.
Nowadays it's like: "Oh a new chain? Wow another VC backed scam to dump on retail."
The shift happened fast and it's permanent.
Nobody believes in anything anymore, I respect the SPX6900 community for trying to change that but sadly they have failed.
Crypto topped in 2021. Everyone I know peaked their NW then and since then it has been down only with no exceptions.
Most of you just aren't willing to admit to it, respect to gainzy for actually doing so.
Look at Su Zhu, he peaked at billions in 2021 but could barely make $40m this cycle.
People think pump fun is extractive but they have only managed to extract $700m this cycle.
Those are rookie numbers if you compare it to OpenSea in 2021 who extracted BILLIONS.
We have gone from a gold rush to fighting over scraps, the only winners were VCs and exchange founders.
Crypto can be compared to the Japanese stock market in the 1980s. Yes there's an ever expanding money supply globally, but it doesn't necessarily have to trickle down to crypto.
When there is an aging population, like there is now in crypto, that doesn't result in more buyers.
In fact, anyone who would have bought into crypto already has and lost all their money.
There are simply no new buyers and it makes sense, who keeps returning to the same casino that makes them lose every single time?
You need a few big wins occasionally to keep going, but what we have now are just people consistently losing.
Bitcoin is the only exception and will survive since alts/BTC is perma down only and won't reverse anytime soon. Even Vitalik knows Ethereum is cooked.
I guess everyone knew that BTC maxis were right but our thesis was that we could gamble and outperform BTC with alts.
We were wrong.
Crypto is dead as an industry, pack it up if you're trying to make money here. Extract whatever you can and leave.
Luckily if you accumulated skills in crypto like running a start-up, you can apply that to other industries like AI easily.
The entrepreneurial experience transfers, even if the money doesn't.
Good night CT🌙
I’m always looking for projects that make my crypto experience better.
@MitosisOrg might be one of them, because managing funds across chains is overwhelming and honestly, I can’t keep up.
If I can earn, trade, and stay liquid without juggling a million wallets and platforms that’s a win and hopefully the edge I’ve been looking for.

What’s the real yapper paycheck?
Breaking it down starting with @Novastro_xyz
Weekly, $5,000 in USDC is split between the top 20 yappers → that’s $250 each if split evenly.
An extra $2,500 in USDC goes to the top 10 Chinese yappers for them, that’s $500 total in USDC.
On top of that, 0.75% of the $NOVAS token supply is distributed weekly.
If $NOVAS = $0.01 and each top yapper gets 375,000 tokens, that’s another ~$375.
So if you’re in the top 10 CN and $NOVAS holds that price, you’re looking at:
$250 + $250 + $375 = $875/week.
This is all hypothetical.
If the token pumps, great. If it tanks you worked for $USDC.
Outside the top 20? Rewards drop off fast. Many get nothing.
