Yes, you want to keep a cool head. I didn't mean just for the cocaine, but for everything else too.
This is because you will find all kind of people there - including a few crooks that are still left from the early days, but also great hackers of the kind that you won't find anymore in regular startups.
But it's no different than any other job IMHO, it just evolves faster and has greater upsides.

I was kind of getting a gut feeling of this very special kind of OG hacker vibe which is quite rare, and honestly that's a /huge/ part of what made me interested in the space to begin with. It's as you say, a variety that you won't find anymore in regular startups, and that's exactly what makes it so exciting. Thanks for sharing, I again really appreciate your perspective :)
