Jack Dorsey 的區塊縮減了對 TIDAL 的投資以支持開採比特幣

在周四的一封股東信中，Jack Dorsey 的 Block 確認正在縮減對 TIDAL 的投資，轉而開採比特幣。

Block confirmed in a shareholder letter on Thursday that it is scaling back its investment in TIDAL in favor of mining Bitcoin.

Block 在周四的一封股東信中證實，它將縮減對 TIDAL 的投資，轉而開採比特幣。

“We are scaling back our investment in TIDAL and winding down TBD,” Block wrote in the letter to shareholders. TBD was a Bitcoin-focused arm of the company that aimed to build a new, decentralized internet. “This gives us more room to spiral into our bitcoin mining initiative, which has strong product market fit and a healthy pipeline of demand, and Bitkey, our self-custody wallet for bitcoin.”

布洛克在致股東的信中寫道：“我們正在縮減對 TIDAL 的投資，並逐步結束待定階段。” TBD 是該公司專注於比特幣的部門，旨在建立一個新的、去中心化的互聯網。 「這為我們提供了更多的空間來發展我們的比特幣挖礦計劃，該計劃具有強大的產品市場契合度和健康的需求管道，以及我們的比特幣自我託管錢包 Bitkey。”

Another interesting detail is that Block executives reportedly ordered staffers not to discuss prominent board member Jay-Z. Staffers were warned by management to avoid mentioning Jay-Z in internal company communications, such as email or Slack. Following Block's 2021 acquisition of TIDAL, Jay-Z became one of the company's nine board members.

另一個有趣的細節是，據報道，Block 高層命令員工不要討論著名的董事會成員 Jay-Z。管理階層警告員工不要在公司內部通訊中提及 Jay-Z，例如電子郵件或 Slack。 Block 於 2021 年收購 TIDAL 後，Jay-Z 成為該公司九名董事會成員之一。

Last week, TIDAL laid off a small number of employees, and it is possible that “scaling back investment” could lead to further layoffs. Prior to being completely shut down by Block, TBD was also affected by those layoffs. Could TIDAL meet the same fate?

上週，TIDAL裁減了少量員工，「縮減投資」可能導致進一步裁員。在被 Block 徹底關閉之前，TBD 也受到了這些裁員的影響。 TIDAL 會遭遇同樣的命運嗎？

The order not to mention Jay-Z in internal communications came as employees began questioning his role on Block's board, particularly in light of the escalating allegations against Diddy. Jay-Z and Diddy have frequently collaborated on music and have been photographed together on numerous occasions over the years.

在員工開始質疑他在 Block 董事會中的角色之際，特別是考慮到對 Diddy 的指控不斷升級，公司內部通訊中不得提及 Jay-Z 的命令出台。 Jay-Z 和 Diddy 經常在音樂上合作，多年來曾多次被拍到在一起的照片。

According to Fortune, shortly after Block employees were advised not to mention Jay-Z, Jack Dorsey held a virtual all hands meeting. At these meetings, Block employees are typically encouraged to ask questions, even anonymously.

根據《財星》雜誌報道，在 Block 員工被建議不要提及 Jay-Z 後不久，Jack Dorsey 召開了一次虛擬全體會議。在這些會議上，Block 員工通常會被鼓勵提問，甚至是匿名提問。

However, for this particular meeting, Dorsey reportedly disabled the option for employees to submit anonymous questions. According to attendees, Dorsey began the meeting by expressing his dissatisfaction with his employees' negativity and asking them to reflect on "why they were happy to be there."

然而，據報道，在這次特別會議上，多西禁用了員工提交匿名問題的選項。據與會者稱，多爾西在會議開始時表達了他對員工消極情緒的不滿，並要求他們反思「為什麼他們很高興參加會議」。
