In 2023, I finished and published my first book next to my (very) demanding C-level position in one of the fastest growing e-commerce companies in my country AMA
i spend a lot of time reading peoples profiles for work, and at some point i started keeping a rough tally of which listed skills i could actually picture the person using tomorrow.
the split was not where i expected it. the things that held up were almost never the named tools. they were phrasings like "took a vague problem and turned it into a spec someone else could build from" or "owned the incident nobody wanted to own." the things that aged worst were the specific tool names people added because job postings kept asking for them. a lot of those are now either gone or a checkbox you can clear in an afternoon.
SWIFT just built its answer to stablecoins, and almost everyone misread it. Seventeen banks, six continents, live this month on a tokenized-deposit ledger. The story got told as "banks embrace blockchain." It's really banks defending their deposits. When a customer buys a stablecoin, the money leaves the bank for an issuer's reserve. Roughly $315B has already made that trip. Tokenized deposits give you the 24/7 programmability without the money ever leaving the balance sheet. That's the actual point. So for any new rail, the question isn't "is it on-chain?" It's "whose balance sheet does the money sit on, and what do they lose when it moves?" Still just a pilot, though. Settlement runs on the old rails, and stablecoins are already doing $300B+ for real. Do tokenized deposits win corporate flows, or just fragment them further?
