Title: [2021-07-23] Jack Dorsey on Bitcoin as part of the future of Twitter
Post by: Daltonik on July 23, 2021, 11:16:53 AM
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, speaking to investors, confirmed to investors that bitcoin will be a "big part" of the company's future, as he sees opportunities for integrating cryptocurrency into existing Twitter products and services, including commerce, subscriptions and other new additions such as Twitter Tip Jar (https://techcrunch.com/2021/05/06/twitter-tip-jar-lets-you-pay-people-for-good-tweetin/) and Super Follows (https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/22/twitter-super-follows-and-ticketed-spaces/), and confirmed the importance of aggressive investment in the crypto space.  https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/22/jack-dorsey-says-bitcoin-will-be-a-big-part-of-twitters-future/

I'm starting to like him a lot and this new piece of information is great news [especially if it really gets integrated into the ticketed spaces] but having said that, I have a strange feeling about BTCitcoin payments in both Super Follows and Tip Jar products [even those two products without the integration part, makes me worried]. Am I the only one who thinks some of the influential figures would take advantage [I'm not referring "only" to its financial benefits] of the situation by spreading "all" sorts of stuff?

I hope he doesn't father some weird altcoin either because in the last few months we've seen rich and famous people end up when they start praising bitcoin too much. another thing is instead of saying he'll do X and Z thing, he should do to show that he's really seeing bitcoin with this promising future as he believes.

We should appreciate that he is planning to use Bitcoin and probably lightning to make it happen. With Twitter being so influential Jack could have created a Twittercoin like Facebook Diem, but instead chose to use bitcoin. Hopefully others like Instagram will copy Twitter and integrate Bitcoin as well
