I think Dorsey left a Bluesky a long time ago. is Dorsey's social media of choice. He's obsessed with Bitcoin. They're obsessed with Bitcoin. He gave them a huge Bitcoin donation...
Block is a various serious company run by various serious people, and we should treat their staff reduction as an equally serious problem.
Block has made a contrarian bet on bitcoin at a time when many payment companies favored stablecoins: cash-like digital tokens that became regulated in the US last year.
Block’s strategy was spearheaded by Dorsey, a “bitcoin maximalist” who has said he believes the digital currency will eventually eclipse the dollar.
He over hired during Covid, like every other tech company. AI is just an easy scapegoat to use to fire people now. Block still has more employees than pre-COVID after this cutting of 40% of the workforce.
Dorsey also has a history of over hiring. Twitter losing over half its employees when musk fired them and it not missing a beat is evidence of that.

Oh, we're rewriting history, now? 😂🤣 Twitter went down more in the 6 months after acquisition than the rest of its history combined.
To be clear, Muskrat blew holes in the hull of a sinking ship when he took over, but they absolutely had too many people.
No it didn’t lol.
