“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
"We definitely need to be much more thoughtful about the way we’re recruiting.” — @r_timcheva

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKr…
“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

Crypto often feels like a family affair.

@Natalia_Ameline is more than @VitalikButerin’s mom. She’s the founder of the educational non-profit @crypto_chicks.

For #FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo, she offers advice on how to make it in crypto: bit.ly/3y9sgq8 Image
When the Philippines went on lockdown, many struggled to put food on the table. Enter play-to-earn crypto.

Those in countries where jobs are sparse can now look beyond their borders.

This is the world of working on a DAO.

ICYMI: EU policymakers largely overturned a proposal from @Europarl_EN calling for money-laundering checks on all transfers to unhosted crypto wallets on Wednesday.

Here’s how the news unfolded 🧵
coindesk.com/policy/2022/06…
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.

Don't just follow the trend; invest in it.

Those who use crypto to make our future work model will be the ones who stay in it for the long run, @KyleSamani says.

These young graduates wanted to skip the nepotism and office politics.

So they joined a DAO.

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: coindesk.com/layer2/futureo…
In 1977, the introduction of an LLC turned people on their heads. Today, it’s a widespread business model.

Could DAOs be this generation’s difference-maker?

Crypto markets may be down, but the industry is still booming. There are still many jobs to be had, but talent is hard to come by.

Do you have what it takes?

Here's a look at how to get a job in crypto.

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: bit.ly/3I2n4Ji Image
It’s easier to cut a straight career path through crypto now than it was eight years ago.

And @GnosisGuild Co-Founder @auryn_macmillan thinks it’s better to get your hands dirty and get lost on the way.

Are we in a new crypto winter?

We surveyed workers in the industry and, despite the cold, a majority said they’re satisfied with their overall job security.

Japanese exchange @Liquid_Global looks like a crypto success story.

@FTX_Official recently acquired it for an undisclosed price estimated at $140 to 200 million.

But … 🧵
coindesk.com/layer2/2022/05…
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 Image
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 Image

🧵 How does crypto go from something only a few people use to something everyone uses without even thinking about it?

@Dan_Jeffries1 takes a look for #PaymentsWeek, presented by @circlepay: coindesk.com/layer2/payment…
Utilizing the Lightning Network, millions of people can send fractions of a bitcoin at instant speed – at the same time. But it does not come without drawbacks.

#PaymentsWeek, presented by @circlepay: coindesk.com/layer2/payment…
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?
