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.

We all have bills at the end of the day, and I'm a firm believer that there are no moral companies. I'd love to drop everything and work for a non profit who only does good, but turns out my bank still expects me to pay the mortgage.
