What kind of solo work do you mean? It seems to me like anything without some local client is getting into a global competition for peanuts, but I would be happy to be set straight!

You can launch DAOs that automate anything these days and take a small percentage from the users of it. Just automate any small aspect of what people do and auto-liquidate proceeds for USD* so that you aren't accidentally speculating on anything, your users can pay for the liquidation too.

*Your oracle server/cron job can incorporate a broker's API to get actual USD, your DAO can only get surrogates such as USDC which is redeemable 1:1 for USD at certain brokerages.

It's a boom town. Anybody can make 3x more than what a FAANG would pay annually, and that's being generous.
