1. I don't think there's much evidence of demand for crypto maxims beyond speculation right now. Tokens and equity are a nice lever but a) web2 has versions of these (youtube ad rev) and b) status and distribution born from network effects are more powerful. Incumbents can and will be disrupted though: Instagram disrupted Facebook with Photos. TikTok disrupted Meta with short video. The list is long. 2. The indicators you listed are very important, I've screened for those primarily. For bay area style tech companies credentials can help get an interview but otherwise not critical. The best credential is a working url to something you built, or open source contributions and an active github. 3. If you want to go into crypto, go direct into crypto. Lots of green field work and you can apply or use AI at the same time.

1. I should've articulated what I was trying to say earlier. Here it is: when is there a tipping point from the transition between web2 to web3? What features or things does web3 offer that web2 doesn't that would create that massive growth for web3? 2. came to the same conclusion and i'm glad we came to the same conclusion. 3. musk started Zip2 and x .com (not twitter, the financial company I think) that merged with PayPal and later went into SpaceX and Telsa. Should I do the same thing except start with AI, get the network and skills, and then go into crypto?
