@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.

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.
