Why It Matters: Dorsey’s Block Inc (NYSE:SQ) has adopted a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) oriented direction. It should be noted that the apex coin is built on open-source software and is consensus-driven.

Dorsey said about Twitter in December that when he led it and the one now led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk does not meet three principles he’d come to recognize as important.
