In a momentous surge, Bitcoin has officially smashed through its previous all-time high, surpassing the $69,000 mark. This milestone comes as Bitcoin continues its remarkable ascent after spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) were approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, leading to a consistent large influx of capital into BTC.


The Bitcoin market witnessed a flurry of activity as BTC surged to its new peak as BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF did over $1 billion in trading volume for the sixth consecutive day yesterday. Bitcoin's previous all time high of $69,010 happened almost three years ago on November 10, 2021, 846 days ago. 

For the month of February, Bitcoin had the biggest green monthly candle in its history, rising almost $20,000 that month alone. To put into context how bullish that month was price wise, the bear market bottom for bitcoin was ~$16,000, meaning bitcoin pumped almost $4,000 more than that alone in February.


Bitcoin's meteoric rise has been fueled by a variety of factors, including increasing institutional adoption, growing interest from retail investors, and broader acceptance by traditional financial institutions. Additionally, ongoing geopolitical tensions and inflationary concerns have propelled demand for Bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs had their second biggest day in terms of trading volume yesterday, according to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas. BlackRock's ETF was responsible for $2.4 billion of the $5.5 billion traded yesterday. Last week, spot Bitcoin ETFs bought over 30,029 BTC, while miners only mined 6,160 new BTC. This massive demand and very limited supply of bitcoin being created every day has been the main driver causing bitcoin's price to increase dramatically.

Yes.

Should you? Probably not.

First off, your employees need to agree to that. Most won’t because they recognize that crypto is risky and volatile, meaning they are putting their paycheck on the line. Also, there are fees when converting crypto to national currency. And an implicit exchange rate for that conversion - and it is never in their favor.

Secondly, your business is going to have to report all of that in national currency, no country is going to let you do your accounting in crypto. So, again, fees, exchange rate differences, as well as a ton more complication.

So, in that world, nobody would want it - on either end.

Is it possible to pay employees salaries, allowances and wages using Bitcoin?

One of the first comments that appeared said “‘How to break into the industry’ should be about how to get that job at IBM, and not what you did after you got it. Or am I missing something?”

After a bit of reflection, I realized that Stefan was completely right! I had skipped over a vital time in the developer’s journey: how to land your first developer job.

Today I want to address this gap and give you five tips on landing your first developer job.

I want to preface this post with the caveat that I was very privileged in my job search. I completed an internship at IBM and from there was offered a role internally at IBM. I did not have to apply for a multitude of jobs to land my first developer job.

Prior to landing a job with LogMeIn (my second role) and subsequently at Spotify, I applied for as many jobs as I possibly could. I did not hear back from nine-out-of-ten companies that I applied for and I struggled to determine why. I had landed my first job without much effort, why was I having so much trouble landing a second job?

The following tips have come out of my struggle to land a role and I hope they help any developer out there struggling to find their first or second role.

Have A Unique & Complete Resume.

Let’s be honest: landing a job interview is difficult in-and-of-itself. We always discuss how anxiety-inducing the technical interview process is but we don’t often discuss how difficult it is to even get an interview in the first place.

When applying for your first role it can be intimidating to know which roles to apply for. Do you apply for a junior developer role? Do you apply for an entry-level developer role? Often the job requirements don’t perfectly align with what you deem your skillset to be, so you have two options: apply only to roles which you feel tightly align with your skillset or apply to all roles you think you generally fit into.

Regardless of which option you choose one thing is certain: you must have a stand-out resume to get noticed. Recruiters see hundreds of resumes and only spend about 7.4 seconds on average reviewing resumes.

A few tips for having a notable resume include:

Use a fun resume design to stand out from the other candidates
Prioritize the most important information at the top
List your contact information at the top
Don’t include a photo
List what direct impact you had on the success of a project in your work experience bullet points
Include quantitative data points to back up your work experience “so what” statements
I won’t be diving into the nuances for creating a technical resume, but I did create a full course with LinkedIn Learning that you can check out for more details!
Here’s what my resume looks like! Remember, we’re in a creative industry so you have a bit of freedom when designing your resume!

When buying a phone, we generally recommend sticking with the same platform your current phone uses. At a minimum, switching entails learning the quirks of a new interface and potentially losing access to purchased apps, app-specific data, or even photo and data services. But if you’re considering a switch, we have some insight on the real-world differences between iOS and Android, gleaned from thousands of hours of using smartphones and tablets on both platforms.

Why we like iOS

![whichiphone-2048px-2662.jpg](https://m.stacker.news/18580)


Fast software updates for many years: The biggest advantage iOS has over Android is its software updates: Apple generally supports new iPhones and iPads with iOS updates for five to six years after their release date, and all of those devices get the same updates at the same time. You get new features and apps, support for new image and video formats and security protocols, and patches for both online security threats and flaws that could allow people to get data from your phone. The oldest supported devices may not support every single feature of the latest software, but they continue to get most of the functional improvements and all of the security updates for as long as the hardware will last. Among Android phones, only Google’s Pixel phones and phones in the Android One program are guaranteed prompt updates—The actual timeframe of updates varies on your phone’s manufacturer. Google offers three years of OS updates and up to five years of security updates, while Samsung offers four years of One UI /Android OS updates and five years of security updates.

Long-term value: Because Apple supports iOS devices for a relatively long time, you can hand them down to friends and family members without worrying about app compatibility or security risks. And they hold their resale value better than Android devices, so you can sell them for more money, or get more for a trade-in, when it comes time to upgrade.

Where Android is better

![androidphones-2048px-3x2-1.jpg](https://m.stacker.news/18581)

We like a lot about iOS, but it’s not the best option for everyone. Good Android phones are available in many more shapes and sizes than iPhones, and although the best ones cost roughly what an iPhone does, you can buy good ones for under $200 and fantastic ones for less than $400. The Android platform used to be sluggish when it came to prompt, consistent software and security updates, but has since improved. It’s also much more customizable than iOS. Here are a few other things we like about Android.

More hardware diversity: The biggest advantage for Android is actually in hardware, not software. Though our guide to the best Android phones recommends fast, well-rounded phones, Android is available on a huge variety of hardware, including options for people who want styluses and bigger screens, fantastic battery life, or even a physical keyboard. And if your preferred phone maker removes a feature you rely on—like a headphone jack or fingerprint sensor—from its newest phone, you can find what you need somewhere else. With iOS, Apple’s choices are your only choices.

Phones at every price: You’ve got more flexibility on price, too. A flagship pro-level iPhone costs over $1,000, and while the relatively affordable iPhone SE costs $429, you do lose out on the big screens and low-light camera improvements that are only in more expensive iPhones. A high-end Android phone from Google or Samsung is similarly expensive, but Google's $450 Pixel 6a is an exceptional deal that doesn’t compromise on the camera, and other great budget Android phones—including a few that will actually get prompt software updates—are available for $200 or less.
