From Bruce Springsteen to bitcoin guru?

Michael Solomon, a New York talent mogul who lately has shifted his focus from rock stars to tech geniuses, just landed a client who he says qualifies as both.

Jeff Garzik — a core developer of the blockchain technology that underlies the controversial cryptocurrency bitcoin — is now available for freelance gigs through Solomon’s agency, 10x Management.

“Jeff Garzik is the kind of individual we built 10x to represent,” Solomon, previously an entertainment guy who got his start promoting Bruce Springsteen shows.

Nowadays, Solomon tells our James Covert, it’s the so-called 10x software engineers who have amassed rabid fans in coding markets for their rare ability to write top-notch code in a jiffy.
