MODERATORS
I disagree. It's very difficult to make money like that. A bit easier is bug bounties, but a real fixed income job is much more easy. Another, smaller problem is limited payment options with crypto. It means you'd have launder it into real money.
Just to clarify, I meant it's easier to make money as a teen hacker nowadays than it was back in my day thanks to crypto. I edited my original comment to clarify that
oh, i see. thx for the clarification
