#2So don't work for this company? Sometimes people live and breathe the work they do, and are looking for others who will as well. It's up to you to decide whether you want to participate in what they're doing.
Re: “Reasons you shouldn't join us: if you're looking for work-life balance.”
#3Another reason: "You're primarily interested with salary."
Sounds like this company prides itself on overworking their employees and paying them less than what they're worth.
(Which is what a lot of companies do, but they aren't proud of it.)

See, the trouble is there are people in this industry who would work at this place, and that contributes to lower wages and poorer working conditions. Sure, I won't work there but the fact that others will has an impact on me at least indirectly. I think that's sufficient reason to call out this kind of job/company for the bullshit it is.

Isn't that kind of like saying that those guys who always stay past 6pm or come in before 8am are assholes?

A translation of their post is "Don't work for us if you want either adequate compensation for your time and effort, or reasonable work hours."
People who fully invest themselves in their work should be compensated accordingly, and this company is at their own admission not doing so. They are not looking for dedication, they are looking for cannon fodder.

PRODUCT
Blockai is the first universal blockchain browser. A single platform for using the best blockchain apps, with a bitcoin wallet and social identity to make it simple to use.
We’re making it fun to explore and publish on the blockchain, visualized as a filterable stream. The same way that Netscape took people into the world of the web, and built open-source technologies to support its growth, we are doing the same for the blockchain. Unlike Netscape, we have a clear path to revenue with a bitcoin wallet built right in.
We anticipate 1,000s of amazing applications will be built on the blockchain that will change the status quo of everything on the web. We want Blockai to become the main way people experience those applications.

"Something you can be proud of when you're old and reflecting on your life." Yes, I would love to look back at my life and reminisce about all the hours spent at a desk and how my pension is now unable to put food on the table.

This sort of behavior drives down every developer's wages.

Not if those guys are laying fat stacks of sweet cheddar.
