Hi André, love what you do and especially big kudos for doing not bending your ideas to go into "crypto space" and going all-in Bitcoin and Lightning.
My question might be extremely off-topic (if so please feel free to ignore it, no worries) -- I've worked for a few VC-backed companies in the Valley and now on a small startup as cofounder funded by friends and family investors (we made it to StartX this year and to the last interview round of YC).
I see a huge potential in Bitcoin not only in my career but as a step forward to the current financial situation going on, and have been thinking to move on to companies like yours, Lightning Labs etc. Is it right to think that if the economy and tech continues to go south, VCs might stop backing tech related companies? (maybe not dot com bubble level, but still bad).
The reason I ask is because I'm debating whether to take the risk and orange-pill my career so to say. For now I'm working on pseudonymous Bitcoin projects as portfolio which I enjoy incredibly, but I am afraid that if, as an example, Coinbase goes down, a lot of Bitcoin-related engineers will start applying to the strong Bitcoin-only or LN focused companies and I might lose a good opportunity right now.
I saw it happen when COVID just hit and lots of engineers who were laid off from Airbnb, etc., started trying to get remote jobs.
Thanks!
