United States-based bitcoin-supporting payments service Square Crypto announced that it recruited former Google product director Steve Lee in a tweet published on June 12.
Square Crypto was announced in March of this year when the organization joined Twitter, and planned to hire crypto engineers and designers to work on the bitcoin and crypto ecosystem, paying them in cryptocurrency.
"Hello everybody! My name's Gary and I'm here to say, I love blockchain in a very big way!!!".
A significant portion of the respondents reacted by correcting him and noting that he should have said bitcoin, instead of blockchain.
As the next - and last - tweet sent by the account notes, Lee is a former product director at Google, an angel investor and a volunteer project manager for bitcoin development.
His LinkedIn profile further notes that he has also been a software engineer at technology giant IBM and a product manager intern at Yahoo.
"Bitcoin, not blockchain. Very excited about this opportunity!".
As Cointelegraph reported at the beginning of May, Square saw a new revenue high from bitcoin sales through its Cash app, while profits from bitcoin sales remained low.
In February, Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey - also the founder and CEO of Square - said that rolling out the Lightning Network on Square's Cash App is a question of "When, not if."
