As made easily apparent by a mass of recent developments, like Vitalik Buterin’s latest topical update on Ethereum<\/a>, Samsung’s consumer-facing crypto solution, and the swelling Bitcoin Lightning Network<\/a>, now is the perfect time for industry stakeholders to bear down, test, and post stellar results.<\/p>\n

Some firms may have missed the memo, but by and large, an argument can be made that the cryptocurrency ecosystem is stronger than ever, as big names continue to propel human and physical capital at this asset class.<\/p>\n

Jack Dorsey’s fintech company cemented this theme’s potency on Wednesday, as the firm unveiled Square Crypto, a branch dedicated to the growth of decentralized networks through the use of development, design, and marketing.<\/p>\n

Meet Square Crypto<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For the umpteenth time in a matter of weeks, Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s chief executive, has wowed the Bitcoin community with a straight out of left field announcement. On March 20th, the Missouri native revealed that the $32 billion Square intends to hire up to five talents for “open source contributions to the Bitcoin<\/a> and crypto ecosystem.”<\/p>\n

Three to four of the job offers are for engineers, especially those who have experience building out blockchain systems, and the remaining slot will be left for a designer. All positions will be full-time, presumably either remote or in Square’s San Francisco campus.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, Dorsey seems to want to reallocate much of his time to this subsidiary, as it was remarked on Twitter that he intends for those he hires to report directly to him, in spite of his responsibilities managing Square’s 2,000 staffers and Twitter’s 4,000-strong workers. If this isn’t good enough of an offer already, Square will be forking on Bitcoin to those they hire. Sounds fun, right?<\/p>\n

\n

#BitcoinTwitter<\/a> and #CryptoTwitter<\/a>! Square is hiring 3-4 crypto engineers and 1 designer to work full-time on open source contributions to the bitcoin\/crypto ecosystem. Work from anywhere, report directly to me, and we can even pay you in bitcoin! Introducing @SqCrypto. Why?<\/p>\n
