I've hired Bitcoiners who were also into crypto, and it's not a problem at all. What's important is alignment on "Bitcoin": they must get it and value it.
In fact, I've found these to be the great hires:
- they learned a LOT about the value of Bitcoin while at the company. They all sold their shitcoins eventually, and they end up being grateful for the learnings we gave them.
- being into Bitcoin & crypto is also a sign of them being open minded and in the early phase of the journey. this isn't bad
- finally, it challenged us to see the bigger picture and remembering what Bitcoin is all about: powering individual freedom. If they see crypto as an avenue for that, one must respect it.
What matters in the end is natural talent, hunger for growth, and having a basic understanding on the value of Bitcoin.
