Trading and criptocurrencies: is this a good field of specialization? Thread poster: Martina Sottile

Hello everyone. Recently, I have become more interested in the field of trading, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain. I also worked on a translation project for a trading company a few years ago and I found it complicated and fascinating at the same type. Have you ever worked as a translator in this field?

I studied various aspects of trading for a couple of years and even passed two tests to receive a national-level certificate authorizing me to engage in securities broker, dealer, and manager activities (no crypto, I'm too old). 90% of it was through self-study: there's no way I'll go to those trading gurus.

My point is that the translation market for trading and crypto is probably not serving any good end but is instead producing content designed to lure immature minds into shady schemes. Maybe I'm wrong

I think you need to cast your net a lot wider, or you'll have a long wait. I've never been offered a job about cryptocurrencies. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Trading and criptocurrencies: is this a good field of specialization?
