Isn't that the main selling point in any job interview?
I'm not arguing whether programmable money is interesting or not, but this is a space unfortunately that talks about doing interesting things and then goes to work for Facebook. The vast majority of us here are working on significantly less interesting things. Software development and programming is a world full of hype and "change the world" rhetoric and people doing things for the money. Why does cryptocurrency get an outsized amount of criticism for being a part of it?
- verdverm 5y agoBecause it is where all the Snake Oil Salesmen are currently hanging out. The industry which dominates their employment usually gets the bad rap. There is certainly a difference between offering salary and literally telling someone that they will get rich working for you. I've only encountered the latter while talking with the crypto crowd. The first and primary talking point is always about how much money you will make. The change the world attitude has waned as the realization has set in that there are many issues when bridging with meat space and all that is really left is finance applications.
