I understand the game plan. US financial institutions will accept bitcoin into its system but only pay merchants in USD. Bitcoin in, USD out. The bitcoin won't be let out because it is digital gold. Go long bitcoin. The federal governm

Its a walled garden. Cryptocurrency is federal, nation level politics. Many people have been beaten up over currency. It is a massive power to be able to force the the rest of the world to use your money for international trade and only you

TLDR Interviewing.io is different from other recruiting startups because verified candidates get to directly book time slots with engineers at companies. Candidates get verified by taking multiple mock interviews (more data points). Other c
