To a degree yes it does, since they will almost certainly have to work in a team with other people.
Being involved in crypto related things is a huge red flag that the person is most likely deeply immoral, greedy and opportunistic, which are traits that will most likely make the person hard to work with for the other team members.
I think throwing them out entirely might be a bit extreme, but stamping them with a big fat red-flag and moving them to the bottom of the pile seems totally reasonable to me.

This is a huge assumption to make about someone's character when all you know is that they were employed in $CRYPTO_COMPANY_X FROM $START_DATE TO $END_DATE. You are forever tarring someone you don't even know. If you are involved in recruitment it might be worth taking a look at those guesses you are making. Godwin's Law: Let me put it to you this way, would you immediately dismiss or red-flag someone who previously worked at IBM?
- newaccount74 4y agoIf the companies didn't matter, why would you put them on your CV?
- guntherhermann 4y agoBecause they matter to the people you're getting hired by. Are you for real?
- newaccount74 4y agoIt was a retorical question. The companies on your CV obviously matter. Some companies will make a good impression, some companies will make a neutral impression, and some companies will make a bad impression. And with the current situation, I doubt that crypto companies on your CV will be in the first category.
