Top developers do not lack income opportunities, so why jump into the crypto space? There are mainly two reasons. One is that project teams offer highly competitive compensation—equity + high salary + option incentives. These days, the incentives to attract top engineers are indeed upgrading. The second is that individuals may fall into certain pitfalls, such as gambling tendencies or other risky habits, making high-risk crypto projects seem more attractive. But frankly, as more and more smart people enter this field, it itself indicates that the crypto ecosystem is growing.

The second situation I have some feelings about. Gambling with your head really can make people lose clarity.

Honestly, I've seen the second situation too many times... A bunch of people who think they're smart end up becoming gamblers in crypto.

Basically, it's about having enough money. These days, who can resist the temptation of options?

The second situation is really heartbreaking. I've seen too many talented developers lose everything because of a single mistake.

Really, I've seen the second situation too many times. Some older brothers go all-in on crypto out of greed and end up losing everything.

honestly the second point hits different... been there, lost that with margin calls back in '22. watching devs chase those juicy token packages while their health factor slowly deteriorates is just 💀 history repeating itself
