ESOP and fundraising for startups are such good fits for cryptocurrency that few acknowledge.

Having to trust your employer to treat you ethically when the time comes is such a terrible bet. I've been fucked on more than one occasion during acquisitions, since then I do not accept ESOP at all.

Conversely I have been doing a lot of consulting on web3 projects lately and it is such a breath of fresh air to have actual transparency and liquidity of my compensation.
