To work in crypto at a sophisticated firm like Coinbase, Gemini, Circle (my former company) or my own co, it would be a given you believe in markets and the experimental nature of digital assets given… that is the whole reason to work here!
I am a libertarian, free thinker, capitalist, etc. which is the standard profile in this industry. I have recruited engineers out of Amazon and Google who said they needed a change of pace from the “moralizing” (use your own judgement). It is a very open discussion, open inquiry industry.
So if working for a Cohen company is against your morals, easy to ignore. If that doesn’t bother you, then you passed the first question! Steve is a genius - but not everyone likes Wall Street.

SAC is totemic in a industry founded by other people's money and the carry without any equivalent downside. Speaking as a former prop trader, of cutting edge products including those I've designed as principal, when you're touching the wider economy a entirely different set of rules either applies or someone's gotta be responsible. I don't believe that anyone's understood what "the buck stops here" means for two generations.
