Cryptocurrencies in competitions
Over the past three years, several public competitions in Brazil have required knowledge of Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain as requirements for candidates.
For example, Banco do Brasil in its 2022 announcement required candidates to be aware of Bitcoin mining, especially with regard to validating blockchain transactions.
Organized by Fundação Cesgranrio, the competition was notable for its record number of abstentions, with 47% of candidates missing the tests, yet marking an important step in the integration of the subject into public competitions.
Moreover, Caixa Econômica Federal also highlighted the importance of knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in one of its public competitions.
Another example is Banco de Brasília, which opened a public competition requiring candidates to have knowledge of cryptocurrencies.
These examples show how understanding Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrencies is becoming increasingly relevant in the job market, especially in sectors related to finance and technology.
