Popular cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has partnered with X, formerly known as Twitter, to unveil a recruitment feature that allows Coinbase to directly list crypto job listings on its X profile. As users scroll through their X accounts on various devices, these job listings will seamlessly appear on Coinbase’s profile. This foray into job solutions could establish X as a serious rival to LinkedIn, the long-standing bastion of professional networking.
L’évolution de X en ‘application-tout-en-un’
This integration marks the first tangible step towards fulfilling Elon Musk’s vision of making X a versatile ‘all-in-one’ application. Musk, who became the CEO of the social networking platform after its acquisition in November 2022, has laid out grand plans for X. The tech magnate has signaled his ambition to diversify revenue streams by focusing on content creation and video, a specialty of TikTok. Additionally, Musk was considering incorporating debit card payment processing and linked bank accounts, akin to PayPal services, taking cues from WeChat’s multipurpose platform.
Elon Musk demystifies rumors about cryptocurrencies
While Musk has ambitious plans for X’s multi-functionality, he recently dispelled rumors about launching a X-specific cryptocurrency. Despite his well-known affinity for Dogecoin, Musk clarified that X has no intention of creating its own digital currency. This statement seeks to eliminate confusion arising from a myriad of low-cap tokens that have appropriated names related to X, Twitter, or Musk.
Coinbase and X: catalysts for the new social media employment paradigm
The partnership between Coinbase and X not only promises to change the game in crypto job listings but also has wider implications. As an unannounced first step after its revamp, X aims to serve as a nexus for employers and job seekers, shaping social media into a new frontier of employment.
