Block (aka Square, Tidal, CashApp etc)

Square (and other related companies like Tidal, CashApp, Spiral and TBD54566975, not exactly subsidiaries but sibling companies under a holding company) is changing their name to Block, as in blockchain, as they seem to be going more towards cryptocurrency.
It's similar to Facebook changing their name to Meta for wanting to create a "metaverse," analogously Square is also changing their name.
Interesting to see that Jack Dorsey (who is CEO of Square and until recently was CEO of Twitter as well) probably left Twitter to focus more on Block.
I don't think he was fired by the Twitter board, exactly. But given the increasing conflict of interest between being CEO of Twitter and his use of Twitter as a place to promote crypto (thereby increasing the value of whatever interest he personally or Square has in crypto), it's not hard to imagine that the Twitter board told him that it was time to end one activity or the other. Though it looked sudden from the outside, it's clear this was all carefully orchestrated.
Moreover, certain Twitter investors had (rightly) been complaining about the arrangement for a while.

I would not have guessed that from Twisty the bendy metal cube.
The square rebranding too doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Bitcoins will fit naturally into their line of products without rebranding. Of course rebranding with a bitcoin related word is a cheap way to achieve a stock bump. So probably smart in that sense.
That doesn’t mean I believe in it, I think there’s a lot that’s silly about Meta, and I’m a big believer in the ability of powerful people to do silly and misguided things. That may be what’s happening here. Consider that Jack may not possess any insights about this stuff that aren’t available to us.
You can do the same too. Most webpages don't need fancy graphics. CSS transforms and animations (which can be 3D) are fancy enough for me.
Will be nearly impossible to find relevant search results about them, is that a bug or a feature?
Logo requires color gradients... will never look good on a t-shirt or business card. Even the favicon looks messy. Is that a bug or a feature?
You aren't going to search Block, you will search their actual product which are Square, Cash App, and Tidal.
Also, your site is super f'ing ugly and sucks to use.
It also has extreme "Hello Fellow Students" vibes.
Can't wait for the implosion of all of this crypto crap.
