Want to get hired in crypto? Show you’re genuinely excited.
In a fast-moving space like crypto/blockchain, enthusiasm is not optional. It is expected.
Bottom line: You do not need to be loud. But you do need to show up.

• Yourself
• A regulated custodian
• A shady exchange with no phone number

As a parent, you learn quickly that you shouldn't make any threats that you're not willing to follow through on. Once you give in, they know they can break you.
