Q07. What kind of people do you look for to help you manage relationships and meet your goals?

A. In the “old economy” this would be a classic business development role. But there is nothing classic in this space, so I’m looking at transferable skills, mainly communication, intellectual capacity, entrepreneurialism, enthusiasm. I think the more experience you have the more things you need to unlearn, but we also don’t want completely inexperienced people as well. So probably who’s done some consulting and/or business development, maybe their own business in the past, but they’re kind of “out of place” in a sense that they really should (or want to) be in the crypto space.

I have a few ongoing conversations with people in the UK and what I see is that when we start to talk about crypto, I just let them be for a few weeks and then they come back either confused or obsessed about crypto. Which is a great filter of course.
