Since no one mentioned it - this seems to be a major and real problem in the crypto job space. In their job market it's more believable that a 'stealth startup' is reaching out and doing a code challenge from an unfamiliar email or repo, and crypto devs are likely to have a wallet or passwords accessible on their system. They are willing to go above and beyond the regular spam or AI conversations to get access.

(Don't work in crypto, but there's a crypto company with the same name as the one I work at)

Also, to be into cryptocurrency, you kind of have to be gullible to begin with.
