If you're banking being able to get back into UW in a few years if you change your mind, you should also talk to someone at the school about that. As well, banking on a loophole to get a work visa (the TN restrictions are pretty specific about needing a degree in the field) seems like a pretty risky idea. I have a strong feeling I know what company you're talking about as well (and no, I don't believe it's Github as someone else here does), I have to say that even if the company is full of brilliant people, you should also consider the relative risks in the field that they operate in. Bitcoin can be a risky business, even for the golden child. My overall recommendation would be to stick with your degree. In a year and a half you wont have to worry about whether or not you can return to an undergrad if you wish, nor worry that a visa loophole will come back to bite you in the ass. If something happens and you need to find a new job, you wont have to worry about having to find one that will be willing to risk dealing with visa loopholes. Not to mention that you sound like you still have 2 coop terms left. Even here you could very likely return to this specific company for those terms if you wish, or (my recommendation) take advantage of the terms to explore different options.
