Former Twitter boss and Bitcoin: Satoshi Nakamoto fan but Web 3.0 critic
While Jack Dorsey is an ardent supporter of Bitcoin, he has a different position on the web. He has publicly displayed his skepticism towards the web3 since he resigned as CEO of Twitter. In particular, he has criticized the hold of venture capitalists on the web3, explaining that despite appearances, it would still belong to them as much as the classic web.
Theoretically, web3 is supposed to belong to everyone, so no one should own it. Web 3.0 refers to a decentralized version of the world, including public blockchains, metavers, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized finance (DeFi), among others.
Jack Dorsey sees Bitcoin as the future native currency of the internet. Through these job postings, Block is building the various blocks that will undoubtedly contribute to the global adoption of Bitcoin.
