Sure, but then again I wouldn't work for a company whose CEO thinks "irl_chad" is a cool name, and talks about being seen in Kyiv in "designer and an iced out Rolex"

Well, that was pre war. I was pretty nouveau riche. Then I almost got blown up in combat, and my tastes changed.

And who doesn't eat trash food like McDonalds. I just had McDonalds, what a coincidence.
1) enjoying the technical challenges of crypto is to me like a guilty pleasure. So do I, but I don’t tell the world about it (outside of this HN comment).
2) such a high % of the people involved in crypto are doing something shady or illegal. Personally I would bet that only a slim slim slim monitory of US crypto holders pay their taxes accurately. For any top security clearance jobs in the US, you can’t have any major outstanding debts, because they could be used as leverage against you. In the same way, hiring a cryptobro looks like an unnecessary risk to me.
3) they probably can’t do the job I need them to do. For example, any front end change to our sales funnel requires a sign off from compliance. Can I trust a cryptobro to work in an environment with stricter rules & compliance requirements? Not really.
