One thing I've learned over time is that innovation happens in places where you might not have intended, and what turns out to be really high-leverage is not what you would have predicted. This whole process sounds so much like that. The trick is to suck all the juice out of the orange you just peeled.
Imagine the advantage that would eventually accrue, somehow, if SN was in the very upper echelon of knowing how to hire in the modern world, with the affordances of modern tools, and btc as a secret weapon? Or even re-defining the meaning of what it means to "hire" at all?
Bullish.
