“The mood is actually not all that grim … some of the best ideas and some of the best businesses get built during these times.” — @BlockchainAssn’s @DanSpuller
“I think this is a really good time for companies to regroup and really determine what their core product is. I have not seen any layoffs in product or engineering which is very encouraging.” — @jennapilgrim
“You also need to be very cautious with not getting bloated or growing too fast or bringing on too many, because although that demand is here now, it may not always be here.” — @0xPolygontech’s @Wyatt1155
“I think there’s opportunities for all types of companies. But one industry that particularly stands out to me are those focused on compliance on government relations.” — @DanSpuller
“In this particular environment and market that we're in, we're just a little bit more cautious, and the bar is raised a little bit higher.” — @0xPolygontech’s @Wyatt1155
“If you’re not actively working with the talent to ask them what they need and what they actually want to do, then you kind of lose them.” — @jennapilgrim
“I think there’s a lot more opportunity now for folks nationwide and worldwide to work for a company that they really want to be a part of.” — @DanSpuller
“Heads up: our recruiters are also hanging out on places like Twitter and Reddit as well, outside of LinkedIn. So if you think about that next wave, make sure you’re getting involved.” — @0xPolygontech’s @Wyatt1155
“At the moment, DAOs are opening up opportunities by lowering the barrier to entry [and] getting access. [Making it] much easier to talk to people and giving opportunities to people.” — @r_timcheva
“It might not be that people aren't applying for your job, it's that you have too many requirements and you're not actively trying to fit the talent into the roles that you have.” — @jennapilgrim
“My current job I got through DM Twitter. I was congratulating an old company that got acquired by Coinbase. ... So crypto Twitter is great as well.“ — @discreet_labs' @safetybobsf
ICYMI: EU policymakers largely overturned a proposal from @Europarl_EN calling for money-laundering checks on all transfers to unhosted crypto wallets on Wednesday.
Under the new agreement, verification requirements for unhosted wallets will only apply for transfers to one’s own private wallet, and only when the transfer is over 1,000 euros (~$1,052). coindesk.com/policy/2022/06…
EU lawmaker @OKovarikMEP told CoinDesk the final result had “moved quite far from the initial proposal of the European Parliament.” Back in March, lawmakers demanded checks on all transfers to and from private crypto wallets. coindesk.com/policy/2022/03…
CoinDesk interviewed over a dozen former employees and insiders. Nearly all asked for anonymity for fear of reprisal.
They say execs downplayed some cyber breaches, did not disclose others and prematurely stopped investigations into a $90 million hack. bit.ly/3wkTM46
Employee concerns about regulatory, cybersecurity and business risks were dismissed and ignored by management. They were also blamed for not generating more revenue. bit.ly/3wkTM46

Retention is an important metric for the business of mobile games and monetizing them with #bitcoin seems to suggest an overall improvement to the business of the game. But what about adoption?
