“Bitcoin and DevOps: How Cryptocurrency Changed the Approach to Security and Infrastructure Management”

With the rise of Bitcoin and blockchain, DevOps practices have also started evolving. Bitcoin, with a current market cap of $1.76 trillion and a daily trading volume of $145.15 billion, is not just a currency but a global network that demands reliable and secure infrastructure.
For DevOps professionals, security has become a top priority. They use containerization and monitoring to safeguard data, as distributed systems where any failure or vulnerability can lead to financial losses.

The blockchain supporting Bitcoin has a capped supply of 21 million BTC, of which 19.78 million BTC are already in circulation. This adds stability to the decentralized network, making infrastructure management critically important.
DevOps engineers are increasingly tasked with securing distributed ledgers and working with cloud technologies, which wasn’t as common before. Skill requirements for DevOps are growing alongside the crypto market, shaping new approaches to security and infrastructure.
