Bitcoin educator and industry heavyweight Dan Held has joined Trust Machines to enhance the development of Bitcoin-native applications. Held has built up a strong following of over 750,000 on social media after his tenures at Kraken, Blockchain.com, and Zeroblock. His role as growth marketing advisor will help Trust Machines unlock Bitcoin’s trillion-dollar value and potential.
The Next Big Venture For Dan Held
Everyone who takes cryptocurrencies seriously will know the name Dan Held. Dan has served as a respected individual across the aforementioned Bitcoin companies. Moreover, the Zeroblock venture, which he co-founded, was later acquired by Blocckhain.com in an all-Bitcoin Acquisitioun. Such acquisitions are relatively rare but showcase the desire to build the Bitcoin ecosystem and elevate its appeal.
By joining Trust Machines, Dan Held will help expand and scale the company’s marketing department. Additionally, he will help develop new strategies for products under the Trust Machines banner and offer advisory services to CEO Muneeb Ali. It is a logical extension of Dan’s earlier tenures involving product and marketing roles at Kraken, Blockchain.com, and Uber.
Trust Machines Growth Marketing Advisor Dan Held adds:
"Ech si begeeschtert meng Roll bei Trust Machines als Beroder matzedeelen. Ech gleewen, datt Trust Machines a seng Equipe eenzegaarteg positionéiert sinn fir DeFi Uwendungen an de Bitcoin Protokoll ze bréngen, zwangsleefeg Billiounen am Wäert opzemaachen.
The Bitcoin blockchain does not have native support for smart contracts or decentralized applications. However, that changed through the mainnet launch of Stacks, a layer that makes Bitcoin more programmable. Trust Machines builds on that infrastructure to bring new applications to Bitcoin and attempt to unlock its trillion-dollar potential.
Key Hires Are a Growth Catalyst
The bold vision of Vertrauen Maschinnen is slowly taking shape as the team added key members to its ranks in Q2 2022. The hiring of Dan Held as a growth marketing advisor is the latest, although the company saw roles being taken up by other industry leaders:
- Asiff Hirji: Advisor. President of Figure and former President & COO of Coinbase
- Manas Mohapatra: General Counsel. Formerly BNY Mellon and Twitter
- Rena Shah: Head of Strategy and former Head of Exchange at Binance.US
- Aubrey Strobel: Communications Advisor and former Head of Comms at Lolli
Attracting these bigwigs confirms Trust Machines is on to something by focusing on bringing applications to Bitcoin. Moreover, CEO Muneeb Ali hints at how there is a “revival of Bitcoin builders culture”, as global interest in building apps for this ecosystem continues to accelerate.
In addition, Trust Machines secured $150 million in funding to enhance Bitcoin’s position as a DeFi platform and network for other innovative products and services.
