Twitter under Jack Dorsey has been a huge cryptocurrency promotion engine. I wonder if that remains.


When I look at the CTO's (who becomes CEO now) tweets it seems they will keep this going.


As someone bullish on crypto, I look forward to cleaning up all the spam/scammers on Twitter. I think legitimate integration into Twitter (i.e tipping, subscriptions, cash app, etc) will be powerful.


Other than adding mandatory 2FA and introducing a 24-hour time delay on account renames and 2 hours on profile name/image changes (which should be a given for any blue-check account), what else can Twitter realistically do given that the other side (crypto pumpers) has literally tons of money floating around?

No they don't, they put it all into crypto.

Twitter welcomes bots (and other ways for many accounts to be run by few real people) because they want to increase their Monthly Active User count.


Use some of the same AI they use to moderate other sorts of comments to moderate the crypto scammers.


Bitcoin. He's not a crypto supporter


Yeah he has gone out of his way to speak against ETH.


Most of the replies to his resignation tweet are Bitcoin trolls.


Also just a giant botfest which happens to also pump crypto.
