In 2015, Graber began working as a software engineer for SkuChain in Mountain View, California. She then worked in a factory in Moses Lake, Washington, where she soldered bitcoin mining equipment. In 2016, she began working as a junior developer for the Zcash cryptocurrency.
So lately I have been trying to figure out why people are calling BlueSky decentralized and I noticed that fun fact. It made me realize how cryptocurrencies are something else that was often technically “decentralized” but in reality controlled by a single person or group.
In case it’s also not known, Jack Dorsey who helped found BlueSky is a big cryptocurrency booster.
For me the mistrust on bluesky started when it was so easily adopted as “twitter” alternative, mastodon being just there struggling for that.
In order to achieve that a lot of money and influence have been moved around. People didn’t organically moved, they were influenced to move there. I don’t trust that.
