Oh, one more thing👇

🚫 If to you MiCA is still just the singer 🕺, this role isn't for you.

🚫 If you don't know what a non-custodial wallet is, or can't tell a stablecoin from a token, this role isn't for you.

🚫 If you've never sent crypto to the wrong network, without the scars to prove it, don't bother applying.

🕵️ We're looking for someone who's stared down a block explorer, sweating, praying for a transaction to confirm, someone with confirmed experience in the crypto world who knows the inner workings of the system.
