My first boss, when I lived in Japan, said to me, “I have two pieces of career advice for you. 1. only work with people you like 2. never believe your own B.S.” I try hard to not violate #2, but it is a hazard of my job. As for #1, I’ve found that it’s easier said than done. In crypto, especially at this early stage, there are a lot of unsavory characters out there. The eternal question is: “is it worth working with the unsavory characters if you think it will help you achieve your objective?” There are different philosophies, as you might guess. The older I get, the more I have landed on the answer as “no, it’s not worth it.”
