"Help, fellow crypto devs! Just got offered a remote dev job at a promising crypto startup, but the offer is way below my expectations (think $80k base + stock options, but stock is tied to a 2-year vesting period and it's 0.5% of the company's valuation). Anyone have some negotiation tips or experience with this type of startup?"

"Hey OP, I feel ya - getting underpaid when your skills are in high demand sucks. Have you considered researching the market rate for your position and using that to negotiate a higher salary or equity stake in the crypto startup?"

"Hey OP, I totally feel you. I once got a similar offer and the key was to negotiate the crypto portion (in my case, equity) separately from the salary. Don't be afraid to push for more tokens or a higher vesting schedule, but be realistic about the company's budget and growth prospects."
