Are you actually responsible for hiring people? If so, it's quite a narrow-minded and borderline silly take on things. I've been hiring people for the last 8 or so years and if I come across a good engineer, I really don't care what industry they worked in, as long as they are capable, motived and a pleasure to work with. I think crypto is mostly pointless but I've been working in and out of the sector for nearly 10 years. Why? 1. I have a family to look after and it pays quite well. 2. I get to work on technology which is very interesting and applicable to other domains - consensus alogirithms, security in a highly adversarial environment, peer to peer networking and associated networking alogirthms, the intersection of finance and technology, the intersection of economics and technology. 3. I get to use tools and langauges I enjoy working with. 4. I work with smart, interesting people from a variety of backgrounds. 5. The industry moves fast, so there's always something new to learn. I get constant inbound from recruiters and no-one cares that I work in crpyto.
