I don't mean any offence to you or your former employer, and assume it's not so dear to you you'll take it as such, but isn't that really scraping the barrel? The whole sector is really still at the 'proving its relevance' stage, and there are... One, maybe two currencies (BTC, maybe ETH) that people outside it have heard of?

It's like saying you used to work at one of the top 10 flying car R&D centres, isn't it?

On the other hand huge amounts of dumb vc money went into blockchain related companies. I was seeing a lot of top dollar points job ads looking for block chain experience.

Also its not fair to say this is a flying car. The crypto, even the less known ones, are widely used in various illegal markets from drugs to tax evasion. Shame about the lack of other applications.
