Don't do the mistake of trying to set aside your classes for cryptocurrency or any single niche.
You say you worked as an consultant? A 17 year old consultant? You might have been exposed to crypto for a long time but what gives you any business credibility that you'd go out and consult people on what to do with their business money?

If it seems like I am being harsh with you then there is reason behind that. For a long time in my early career I was doing the wrong thing and that made me habituated to just one way of working. In cryptocurrency space there is abundance of hype marketing and jobs that in other industries have no relevance. Say for example if you spend you days managing a discord group or a telegram group, what experience do you take away from that as a professional? a kid could do that kind of job, and that is exactly what you are.
Give more importance in skill development at this time of your life rather than going to conferences. Without proper skill you will be nothing. And I wish you listen to what I say and make something of yourself someday.
