    I’m going to be controversially somewhat mixed on this. There are a significant amount of people who go into the financial sector, make a decent amount of seed money, pair up with some other highly motivated people who also are passionate about a thing, and then start up a business. It can be an excellent networking opportunity.

    Sure, there are certain megalomaniacs in this world, but I feel that most people want to seek out opportunities that fulfill them.

      I agree, it’s a waste of talent but I’m not going to blame anyone for taking a high paying job, especially if they have an exit plan.

      Sure. That’s how you get a thousand different conferences talking about how to Level Up Your Crypto.

      It can be an excellent networking opportunity.

      Between people obsessed with getting a monetary high score.

      Also, consider how many of these “networks” of oligarchs always end up having a Jack Abramoff or Matt Gaetz or Jeffrey Epstein in attendance.
