… I've worked for a number of startups that, in retrospect, had terrible business models. Does that make me a "true believer" in their viability? Maybe, but then I learned better. Or maybe I joined because I needed a paycheck and they had a good offer. Either way, my performance as a developer had nothing to do with the viability of their business model. Even if you make the argument that "crypto is a terrible idea as a technology, so anyone who engaged with it is stupid", well, again, in a long enough career you maybe make a wrong pick every now and again, especially early on in your career when it's harder to distinguish hype from reality. A good developer would learn from this and be a more valuable employee as a result.
