@sl007 Caution though, the bluesky lead seems to be positive towards blockchain pyramid schemes.
So better don't apply if you hate to be involved in that space (like I do).

I am _very_ aware of this and personally I would never apply.

I trust everyone who would apply to ask what they want before they apply at the bird.
My hope is just that some will not give up to lobby for the good.

@sl007 Coincidentally, I'm currently looking for jobs, but was already skeptical whether to apply because of my lack of experience. Seeing the threat of being asked to deal with $MagicBlockchain was the coffin's nail then.

Same feeling. Not saying that never something good will come from blockchain. *Maybe* it will. In tech world sceptics far dominate proponents right now. But in the biz world just casually mention blockchain as a big corporate and the big $$$ flow in.

Twitter might well have blockchain somewhere around as marketing strategy, while still developing a solid protocol that potentially disrupts our current #fediverse

Wonder how many tech + biz savvy minds are at it at #twitter

@humanetech @sl007 If you look at Jack Dorsey, he's completely down the rabbit hole already. He's alluding to the coiners conspiracy myth that the deviation of the US$ from gold standard is the source of everything bad happening since, and claims "crypto"'s gonna save the world.

Yes.
I hoped he reads my answers before he wents to bed …
Pretty sure, he did :)

@sl007 @schmittlauch

I'd bet he did not. First tweet: 1800 replies, second tweet 359

He probably tweets via an indirection or something, where a campaign team puts his messages out to the world, and filters out useful responses.

Billionaires and their crazy dreams, right? :D

But they can afford to bet on the wrong horse and then still pivot in time, or be well-positioned even.

At government + central bank level all around the world they are investigating digital currencies and here blockchain or similar in concept technologies are deeply investigated. Making a jump to that horse, supporting, becoming a dominant player can be twitter's future too. And attach an interop thingy from their own shop.
