I think you’re in the best possibile position, actually. You’re still learning valuable generic skills about the technology, you’re not just doing crypto, so I wouldn’t worry about your employability. Regarding the backlash, do you derive this feeling you have from Twitter? Because in that case I would just suggest to ignore everyone who’s either super invested in crypto and the absolutist critics: both sides are just good at polluting the discussion with either toxic positivity or superficial criticism. A good idea could also be to avoid Twitter altogether: it’s the most toxic social network I can think of, and it’s very good at convincing everyone that opinions there actually matter something in society.
