I left a startup after 3 months because I felt it was scamming people. But it wasn't even crypto. It was a marketing automation tool and most of the clients were gambling and forex trading apps. The tactics they used were extremely shady and I just got to watch the logs and see the insane amounts of money people would lose with the 'help' of our product.

I took my first offer out of there and it was the best decision I could make. It's always better to work on something that aligns with your beliefs and goals as a developer.

Coincidentally I don't think crypto is a scam. Crypto tech has pretty much been proven to work by now. The speculative products built on crypto could be a scam. But that's not all that different from speculative products overall.
