What would you recommend is the most secure way to make money in this world of crypto/blockchain, web3?
Almost nothing is secure, besides having a stable paycheck with having a developer job.
Also, what are some of the things that I should learn first perhaps to build up a foundation? some sort of roadmap.
You simply learn the basics of programming, then create small personal projects until you get good enough to join a development team. It's just going to take time not something that you can achieve overnight.
thank you for your response
Yes, that is what I meant, the basics, you know, with programming, it goes liek this: you learn , variables, loops, functions, objects, etc, then perhaps, make your calculator, and other smaller projects along the way, you know you are getting good, and you have the exact roadmap of where to go after what section or set of skills you have acquired.
That is what or sort of thing I had asked
