Why our future looks bright : the most talented people are leaving tech giants to work full-time in crypto

In the past decade or so, Silicon Valley giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft) have attracted the best talent. Working for one of those big companies was the dream of the brightest of computer engineers, information technology specialists and programmers.

But things are changing fast : everyday, more and more talented people leave their big salaries behind and to go work full-time in crypto.

They see a transformational moment that comes along once every few decades and rewards those who spot the seismic shift before the rest of the world, as written in The New York Times recently.

It's not just tech people. Lobbyists, CFOs, analysts, executives, governance specialists and marketing people are all getting on board. The New York Times recently reported the story of an Amazon VP that left to work for a crypto start-up ; a day after she announced it on her Linkedin, she got over 350 messages of people asking her how they could be hired, too.

“It’s the perfect storm, she said to the newspaper. The momentum we’re seeing in this space is just incredible.”

“It feels a bit like the 1990s and the birth of the internet all over again, added an ex-Google executive. It’s that early, that chaotic and that much full of opportunity.”

The bottom line : the crypto industry is in the hands of the best minds available. Therefore, as an ecosystem, I believe our future is brighter then ever.
