Payments company Square today announced that it will be giving a grant to a BitcoinBitcoin developer who wants to make walletswallets more user-friendly.
The cryptocurrencycryptocurrency arm of Square, Square Crypto, made the announcement on Twitter—shouting out Maggie Valentine, a developer working for blockchain startup, she256.

“Giving trick-or-treaters Open Dimes and Square Crypto grants this year. Speaking of which, this one goes to Maggie Valentine, a designer working to simplify wallet onboarding flows by reducing technical jargon and increasing user education,” the company said via Twitter.
Square Crypto supports the development of the Bitcoin network by giving grants to developers and companies working in the crypto space.
The company wants to give its latest grant to Valentine so she can design a wallet that is easy-to-use for crypto newbies.
According to Valentine’s thesis, people are not using Bitcoin or Bitcoin wallets because they’re too complicated. One thing that puts users off, she says, is the “technical jargon, unfamiliar user concepts”—plus potential users have had “little-to-no education.”
She said: “Unless equipped with a technical background, users are often deterred from reaping the benefits this technology has to offer. To preserve the ethos of this space—an ethos built upon fixing the otherwise broken current financial system—it’s crucial to use design as a vehicle to create better experiences for all types of users.”
Valentine hopes to improve this by looking at how a selection of wallets “present private keys/seed phrases to users by looking at specific copy and onboarding flows.” She will then work to “understand which option might be the ‘best’ for non-crypto-savvy folks”—and design a new wallet.
Michael Saylor, CEO of business intelligence firm MicroStrategy, described payment company Square’s $50 million Bitcoin investment as “an extraordinary piece of news,” on the WhatBitcoinDid podcast today. Between August 11 and September 14, Microstrategy invested $425 million into Bitcoin. Then, approximately three weeks later on October 8, 2020, Square followed suit with a smaller investment. Now, MicroStrategy’s CEO has weighed in on the latest Bitcoin bet. Square didn’t make this investment...
Square added in its announcement that “difficult wallet UX shouldn't determine who benefits from Bitcoin.”
Payments company Square, owned by Twitter CEO and Bitcoin maximalist Jack Dorsey, is pushing for wider Bitcoin adoption. Just this month, the company announced that it bought $50 million-worth of the cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin isn’t the only cryptocurrency shining bright since the U.S. President Donald Trump slapped “reciprocal” tariffs on nearly every nation this month. Since Trump's Liberation Day on April 2, Solana and Bitcoin have outperformed other major cryptocurrencies, rising 14.5% to $145 and 7% to about $91,100, respectively, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. Ethereum (-10%), XRP (-12%), and Dogecoin (-1%) have fallen. Solana and Bitcoin have buoyed the broader crypto sector, with the glo...
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) just notched their strongest single-day performance in nearly three months, with institutional money pouring back into the space after weeks of muted flows. On Monday, Bitcoin ETFs collectively recorded $381.3 million in net inflows, their largest daily total since January 30, as per data from UK-based investment management firm Farside Investors. The inflows mark a notable shift after weeks of lukewarm demand, driven by macro uncertainty and tightening liqui...
Coinbase’s Layer 2 network Base’s creator, Jesse Pollak, has defended the platform’s focus on creators, following backlash over an experimental content token drop. “If you are a creator or developer and you want to be the #1 priority, we would love to have you on Base,” Pollak tweeted Monday. Pollak was responding to Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen’s criticism, who tweeted Monday, “traders are easily the most important user group in crypto,” not creators or developers. “I love traders, but our...
