Hello all. Six days ago, we published our post about some LinkedIn Lunatics from Portugal. We also made a post on our LinkedIn account where we directly tagged the people we discussed in our post. A few hours laters, Bloq.it leadership saw our profile, as well as Diogo Mónica from Anchorage Digital. We should note that Bloq.it’s Legal Officer was among those from the company who saw our profile, as you can see in this screenshot

Dear followers, This post isn’t specifically about the IT world. However, it’s something we didn’t want to let go of because of how close to the heart this topic is to the person who suggested it. Let’s go.

Everyone in the IT world knows about famous Silicon Valley. The heaven of software development, where the best minds join together to create products that change the world. And this isn’t too far away from the truth. Many companies, who today have a significant global impact, headquartered in this northern California region. Thanks to unrelentless investments by the American military sector, universities with great scientific research bodies, government regulations that favored companies, and electronic pioneers like William Shockley (don’t ignore the fact that he was into eugenics), John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, Silicon Valley is today seen as the place for software developers to be if they want to be someone in life.
