Title: Is it time to look for alternatives to Twitter?
Post by: Crypto Library on May 07, 2022, 04:19:05 PM
I don't know how reasonable my question is ::) The question arose in my mind so I mentioned it here . We all know that Elon Musk has bought the biggest social media Twitter. We also know that he always prefers his doge coins over everything else. Yesterday I saw his tweet that you have to run Twitter with money(commercial like Crypto projects) and it is understood that will do it with doge coins. Now my point is that now that Twitter is owned by Elon Musk, if that ever happens to be a barrier to Twitter users using Bitcoin, what can we have as an alternative to Twitter? Because now many big projects do their marketing,branding through Twitter. ???::)

1. He doesn't own twitter yet, and won't for at least a few months

2. I thought a lot of crypto projects do advertising through forums, exchanges and Facebook? I don't know if there's been a good altcoin service that's marketed exclusively on twitter but I doubt it.

Bitcoin does not depend on Twitter but new projects like DeFi, NFTs and Metaverse can depend on Twitter. You have nothing to worrry about if you think bitcoin can be affected, it won't.

But what I am thinking about is that it is possible for Elon Musk to manipulate in a way doge will be more visible on Twitter while other coins will not, but I still think this will not be possible but just my assumption.

But bitcoin does not depend on Twitter, there are other social media and forums too.

But definitely that Elon Musk will try to manipulate the market.

Can you point is to a source? Also I'm really not 100% sure what you mean here, but like requiring DOGE to be able to use Twitter? If so, I heavily doubt it. Requiring any crypto or even just money in general to be able to use Twitter would be a company suicide.

Find an alternative. With Musk, Twitter won't continue to give us all the lies that we so patently want to hear.

I believe it is too soon to start making our own conclusions on this matter, Twitter has yet to implement changes associated to the new management.

Only time will say whether you like the changes or not, otherwise you would be only leaving the platform because you do not like the person behind it, instead the platform itself.

It will take a while before Musk takes full possession of twitter and then i don't think he will take such drastic action against bitcoin and altcoins news and ads at least not immediately

He may be referring to this tweet, but I think he may have misunderstood its meaning. Although, it is very possible for Musk to decide to charge for the commercial use of the social network at some point.
