The claim about people with "A+ credentials" not working in crypto is off base.

Crypto communities do not understand the concept of secession in an organization, and believe that if you earned revenue then the runway should last forever and you should be married to the project forever
It doesnt matter, the same people are launching projects now under different aliases. The market doesnt actually care. There is no way to discern between a project that will screw you over versus one that wont, versus one that will rally 5,000% because that has no correlation to legitimacy or any gatekeeping of checkboxes
I like a long tail, because it means there's a better correlation of profit and skill in being able to (sometimes) predict a company's future. When everything is a bit safer across the board, you can't convert wisdom into money at quite the same rate.
