This is why I am very hesitative to accept a job in the "blockchain area", and I am still not convinced that I should.<p><i>Every single time</i> I asked the question "how do you guys make your money?" it has been evaded ("we work in the finance area", thanks, that explains everything!) or has been paraphrased into "is my job secure?" which was then answered positively. I mean yes, my main motivation to ask is indeed about if my job is secure for at least a year -- in an area where people secure investor money by promising basically thin air, but I am also asking the question to gain an understanding of the company's business culture. And I haven't got the slightest idea of that after 7 interviews in the last 5 months.<p>I simply cannot wrap my head around this mass halucination. How are investors even agreeing with giving several million bucks to an enthusiastic young person with zero business planning? And zero ideas how will they repay the investment? The pitchers (future CEOs) are just like "we are totally gonna revolutionize area X with blockchain!" and then money starts rolling in.<p>I am sure I am over-simplifying but still, can somebody explain this process to me? I am still baffled to this day.
