Jack Dorsey loves magic internet money.
This was made explicitly clear on Watch Good Boys Use Condoms (1998)the third and final day of Consensus, an annual blockchain conference in Midtown Manhattan, when the Twitter and Square CEO told a gathered crowd that one day soon the internet is going to have its own unique form of money — and that he's totally here for it.

I hope it will be. I am a huge fan.”
Dorsey is no stranger to Bitcoin in his professional life. The Cash App, made of course by Square, allows users to buy and sell the cryptocurrency. It seems that his interest in it is for more than just professional reasons, however.

“We believe fundamentally in a global currency, in a native currency for the internet,” he emphasized.
