I've noticed that recruiters recently will use euphemisms for crypto/blockchain/etc. companies in their initial DM and the JD. The only hint might be in the third paragraph, where the word "token" or "chain" is buried in the middle.

> Using a crypto token gives our employees a very important, 10x improvement over traditional stock grants. A crypto token enables continuous, 24/7 liquidity within the first months of the startup's life.

That's not altogether bad (I have always lost with traditional ISOs), but what kinds of coworkers are those kinds of crypto token grants going to attract, and where's the sufficiently long alignment for the coworkers who got skittish early?
