Summary
Coinbase and X: new feature to offer crypto jobs from Twitter profile
Popular crypto-exchange Coinbase has announced its partnership with X, to integrate a new hiring feature directly from its Twitter profile.
Essentially, through the new feature, Coinbase will be able to expose its crypto job openings to all users of X (formerly Twitter).
The job listings will appear on Coinbase’s profile, simply as the user scrolls through their social network account from mobile, desktop and more.
A new way of bringing together companies looking for staff and users looking for work, which could in some ways compete with LinkedIn for instance, the social network for professionals.
Coinbase and crypto jobs on Twitter which is becoming the everything-app X
The new feature that Coinbase will integrate on its X account to offer new crypto jobs is the first step in a vision that was announced some time ago, which is to make Twitter an app for everything.
It was November 2022, right around the time of FTX’s crypto-exchange collapse, when Elon Musk, who had recently become Twitter’s CEO, shared with the general public his plans regarding the bluebird social network.
And indeed, Musk had already announced at the time that he wanted Twitter to become an app for everything, even comparing it to other social networks.
Specifically, Musk had stated that Twitter would make money from content creators and that it would also focus on video, which are business segments that TikTok masters.
Not only that, at the time Musk had also talked about including debit card payment processing and linked bank accounts, much like what happens with PayPal.
His dream takes its cues from another social media outlet, WeChat, used by more than a billion people to find news, hail cabs, and order food.
After the rebranding to X, now the first unannounced step is to consider the social network as an employment platform, meaning a meeting point between companies offering jobs and users who are looking for them.
Rumors of the issuance of a cryptocurrency denied by Elon Musk
Speaking of Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX recently took to the field to put an end to rumors about X issuing a crypto.
Despite his professed love for the DOGE crypto, Musk reportedly said precisely that X will “never” launch its own crypto.
This denial hopefully sheds light on the slew of low-cap tokens now using names associated with X, Twitter, or Musk himself.
To give an example, X/TWITTER, ELON BUYS TWITTER (EBT), CryptoTwitter (CT), TWITTERDOGE (TDOGE), and many others, are projects that exist only to capitalize on the tech mogul’s popularity and influence.
