It's a really interesting time to be working at the intersection of law, tech, and finance, if you're following the cryptocurrency space at all.
Even if you don't like or have an interest in cryptocurrency (I think there are legitimate and compelling arguments to dislike it), the questions it raises about decentralized ownership and decision-making, and cybersecurity ethics/law in open systems where participants have agreed to the code as contract are just so cutting-edge. To my knowledge there hasn't been a successful prosecution of someone who's exploited a bug in an open-source smart contract yet, though it looks like this will be tested soon with the Indexed Finance hacker.
