As a generic term, "Self employed" describes an employment status where an individual operates their own business, works as a freelancer, independent contractor, or gig worker. This status is prevalent across various industries, including the Web3 and crypto ecosystem, where individuals may earn income from activities like crypto mining, creating and selling NFTs, or providing services in exchange for digital assets. Self-employed individuals are responsible for their own income, taxes (including self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare), and benefits. While many resources exist to support self-employed individuals, such as tax guides, retirement planning options, and platforms for freelancers, there is no single company or fund named "Self employed" that operates as a distinct entity.
