I worked at blockchain companies for 4 years and this is not true.

The ratio of degenerate engineers is maybe 30% but business people is 80%.

People I have worked with were much better compared to other companies I worked in like aviation or consulting

Same here. I’ve met a lot of smart, passionate people in the space that are very respectable.

		I absolutely believe this, it attracts developers that can see the idealistic potential. It is worthwhile to do your part for an ideal future. The fact that you your vision is undermined by a determined group of profiteers doesn’t diminish the value of what you can accomplish toward an ideal future.

All it takes is for the engineer in charge to be degenerate and the others willing to go along with it, that's how you get a Meta, etc

I don’t think I’ve ever worked with anyone in engineering who I would consider degenerate aside from the occasional crypto supporter. Even 30% seems like a scary high percentage of degenerate engineers.
