Gaat Twitter het nu echt maken?

Rol van de nieuwe Chair ook COO Salesforce

Dorsey, 45, was serving as both the CEO of Twitter and Square, his digital payments company. Dorsey will remain a member of the board until his term expires at the 2022 meeting of stockholders, the company said. Salesforce President and COO Bret Taylor will become the chairman of the board, succeeding Patrick Pichette, a former Google executive, who will remain on the board as chair of the audit committee.

Wat gaat de nieuwe CEO doen?

In his first public appearance since taking the reins of Twitter from co-founder Jack Dorsey, Agrawal says his top priority is “improving our execution” and streamlining how Twitter operates. His comments, made at the Barclays technology conference, come after activist investor Elliott Management shook up Twitter’s board of directors last year and pressured Dorsey to step down from his part-time CEO role. Dorsey remains the CEO of Block (formally called Square).

De crypto wallets; Metamask is king of the hill op dit moment

Eenvoudiger kunnen we het wel maken maar makkelijk nog niet

  • Crypto wallets are no longer niche. Three years ago, there were 31 million crypto wallet users; today, there are close to 80 million. While there’s a long way to go before web3 reaches its full potential, products like MetaMask are far from esoteric. It has 21 million users alone.
  • MetaMask is a big business. In 2021, the company surpassed $200 million in revenue. That is thanks to its “Swaps” feature, which allows users to exchange their cryptocurrencies without leaving the product.
  • Consumers have different expectations. Clients like MetaMask were built with developers in mind. That made sense given crypto’s origins, but as less technical consumers start to dabble in web3, a higher premium is being placed on design.
  • Building defensibility is tricky. Because crypto wallets pull data from the blockchain, there is no user lock-in. In a matter of minutes, a user can switch from one wallet provider to another with no loss of data. That means providers have to find other ways to build defensibility. Winning over developers is one.
  • Competition is heating up. Right now, MetaMask is king. There are plenty of rivals gunning for the throne, though. Coinbase offers a wallet, and Block (fka Square) is likely to follow suit. Insurgents like Rainbow, Phantom, and Argent are not to be underestimated.
