When Bitcoins first started, it was seen as a form of geeky adventure. Nerds and geeks were viewed by non-IT people with different lens. But perhaps those nerds and geeks who started mining for fun half a decade ago and hoarded thousands of bitcoins are now the new millionaires.

Who's laughing now? Perhaps the overweight geeks hiding in the basements with thousands of bitcoins will be overwhelmed by hot chicks in this time and age

You seem to be very slow to pick up on whats now been the situation for many years
who you call geeks, most will call programmers or coders
and potential of earnings for compitent programmers is unlimited

but you are now very very late to the party, like others mentioned too many at it these days so you need to have exceptional work and workrate to stand out from the crowd

Just look what 2 "geeks" in a garage done in 1997

Programmers and coders were one of the lowest form of IT jobs apart from from tech support in some societies I have been to more than a decade ago.

Now programmers and coders in those same societies are highly sought after. The world has changed.

You must be in some socities that are also behind the times, also its not finding people for the IT work but finding capable people,
and if you are a good programmer you will not work for cheap or will not work for others.
Of course programmers would be highly sought after if any of those that actually know what they are doing know they could be earning more elsewhere or by themselves, also these jobs werent needed by companies a decade ago.

The thread is not about the current demand for IT jobs, but the amount "geeks" can potentially earn.
