Let's be honest, this is a crypto exchange. "Line go up" is the only philosophy these people adhere to.

> Also, I find it really bizarre that those neo feudal lords see their companies as just a life stock to count. They don't even count people, just see them as numbers to reduce/scale up. Modern tsardom, but instead of being tied via official decree you're now tied by your lifestyle and family.

People don't work somewhere like Coinbase if they're concerned about morality or mitigating the harms done to society.

Even better, as an exchange, they don't even necessarily care whether the line goes up, down, sideways, or in fucking circles to quote the Wolf of Wall Street. As long as it goes somewhere, and customers are charged fees.

Ironically, if they adopted a Wall St boiler room culture instead of masquerading as an innovative tech company they'd probably be doing a lot better.

I fail to see how this is specific to a crypto company. You’re drawing a correlation that’s not backed up by any empirical evidence.

The GP post describes a common problem in _most_ workplaces in the market today. It’s not specific to crypto, AI, or anything in between.
