The CEO of Twitter held a Bitcoin Meetup in Nigeria!

[Kambal2000]

I already know about the founder of Twitter, if I'm not mistaken Jack Dorsey does only have bitcoin and doesn't hold any other altcoins, I see that adoption is huge for crypto currencies, the founder of Twitter, Facebook which will launch its own crypto currency, maybe later Google, we see when social media twitter and facebook are crowded you might see Google launching Google+ but unfortunately it is closed, if later bitcoin and crypto currency continue to be adopted by the founders of social media of course Google will follow suit

That would be great, yeah, he's not in favor with altcoins as he have seen a lot of spams lurking around twitted so he banned crypto related spams before and now he has been very interested, maybe he also wanted to have his own altcoins, let's see what the meeting is for, for sure they will share it very soon. He might be interested in having its own coin as he have seen despite the bear market there are still a lot of tokens coming around.

in my opinion twitter will also adopt blockchain, of course he doesn't want to be left behind by other companies, as we know it Facebook plans to launch Libra, Telegram also plans to issue tokens, I think Twitter also doesn't want to waste an opportunity, hopefully that will be good news for bitcoin.

Twitter wants to tell the world that they will never be left in trends. I assure that few more years and even in months, they will create their own blockchain and tokens. Just like what facebook did in libra.
I hope that everybody in social media will embrace bitcoin and crypto industry. But I am sure they will be, since crypto is a growing industry. Soon, it conquers the world.

[Casdinyard]

Nah, he like Bitcoin. He's probably looking for another way to integrate Bitcoin to Twitter, or just simple chit chat to give some little push of confidence to the market.

Sure he did and in fairness to him he's really into bitcoin, I mean not unlike of Mark Zuckerberg though I'm not against this but I feel so good upon knowing this. Imagine a big personality to support bitcoin all the way and not just after creating their own coin.

twitter allow the same way to banned promote bitcoin but now if twitter owner want to adopt bitcoin as legal currency become best solution for the future.

I think you misunderstood it as twitter just banned ICO advertising just like what Facebook did.

Twitter's Co-Founder and CEO paid a courtesy visit to Nigeria as part of his listening and learning tour. He recently met with tech leaders in Nigeria and just today, he had a Bitcoin Meetup with some of the biggest Bitcoin and Blockchain Enthusiasts.

maybe in my opinion Twitter CEO and technology leaders in Nigeria they held a meeting to discuss about the launch of the cryptocurrency project because previously Nigeria had also launched their own cryptocurrency project even though not many were interested in their previous project, Hopefully in the future. they will collaborate with ceo twitter to be more advanced because we see now twitter is one of the most popular social media in the community.

We are seeing a CEO of one of the biggest social media platforms that is supporting not only Bitcoin but blockchain and the crypto in general.

If this will continue, more and more countries will know more about Bitcoin. They are supporting the new digital currency that is emerging right now. They support the future currency.

[Clement Kaliyar]

Seeing something like this gives me hope that very soon companies will come to the realization that blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are the future of both the financial ecosystem and the entire universe. I just hope that this meetup will not be a normal linkup which does not bring anything that might influence the adoption of Bitcoin. But personally, I think such meetup has a good potential of influencing the adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies..

All the companies in the world will accept that blockchain is the technology of the future and many big companies are doing research to come up with something that has real world usage and some of the companies have already adopted blockchain but they might not accept the currency aspect of bitcoin but blockchain is the future.
When you are talking about this meet up who knows what happened behind the scenes, i never heard that he had any meet up in the US but when he flew to Africa it became a big news  . Unless there is something positive coming out i just consider it as a publicity stunt.

If they will also consider using Twitter and find ways how to connect it in their social media platform like how Telegram and Facebook planning or they can partner together to create a better crypto platform that will accept crypto and use their token for something special like as token or etc. They can be a good tandem of influencers.

[TGD]

For every major news on twitter, There is always a a
@CZ replying on it so that he will gain attention of all crypto user that interact there. This kind of CEO that was attention is really kinda annoying.
Putting @CZ aside. The twitter CEO showing interest in bitcoin is big step towards more development bitcoin marketing. I hope that he will support cryptocurrencies and will not follow facebook CEO path.

See Bitcoin is different from altcoins.
Twitter banned crypto ads because of the increasing ICO spam. Many used to be scam and fake projects and twitter had to safeguard its users from such scams. Therefore, the ban.
But Twitter was never against Bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't need twitter advertisements and hence, was not affected by the ban. Such Bitcoinmeetup can help boost the adoption in a way of currency. How they can implement Bitcoin as a payment mechanism.

[Wintersoldier]

Bitcoin founder look not happy with bitcoin as legal currency because we got bad experience with twitter owner have try banned bitcoin in twitter social media promoting, last years when google banned promote bitcoin, twitter allow the same way to banned promote bitcoin but now if twitter owner want to adopt bitcoin as legal currency become best solution for the future.

It is not clear if Satoshi, the bitcoin founder will feel terrible about these huge companies banning bitcoin as the article states that the CEO of Twitter is currently holding the only bitcoin from the enormous list of cryptocurrency. This will, in fact, lead to greater market adoption in Nigeria and other countries that are near. In addition, google added bitcoin information in their database such as this one: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=bitcoin

The signs keep popping up in more and more places. Be part of the opportunity or let it fast forward in front of your eyes. It is your sole decision if you want to embark on it or not.

I really respect Twitter's CEO initiative to take from his time to listen to what the public wants from the social mefia platform. TWTR needs to come with something big in order to keep the pace with FB and Instagram which had massive worldwide success besides Twitter which is only popular in USA.

It's a good sign to promote bitcoin and blockchain all at once. We really need this kind of effort all around the world to promote the innovative technology to the people who's not too familiar with the bitcoin and blockchain technology. I hope more people will see this and share too with their co-worker and friends.

These well known personalities really helped built up trust on Bitcoin other than serving as an advertisement for Bitcoin in order for the other people to know its existence. As we know, if you ever had told anyone about Bitcoin, some of them would be quiet skeptical about a cryptocurrency which doesn’t take a physical form and would label it as a scam without even trying to know more about it. But with these people who have huge credibility backing them then people might reconsider to rethink their prejudices and would come to a point to educatethemselves since the answers are just on the tip of their fingers.

Its an open secret that Twitter CEO is a bitcoin enthusiast and having a meetup is not much of a biggie in my opinion. People have been having meetings, pep talks and even conferences about crypto in general across the globe for that matter and it didn't make news but since he is a celeb and a big fish everything he does becomes news. Anyways he banned crypto related adverts but that's a purely business decision which was needed because of the amount of damage people are doing so he is forgiven for that.

[joinfree]

He said it before that he holds bitcoin and it's the only crypto that he holds.

Jack Dorsey says the ‘only’ cryptocurrency he owns is bitcoin

And his other company, Square also into bitcoin. Those who bought there are now in profit.

He's really into bitcoin and doing the best that he can, yes adoption is imminent and he's contributing on it.

Oh really, that's great to hear. At least we have two major CEOs of social media companies all supporting the invention of cryptocurrencies and its adoption. Zuckerberg on the other hand wants to steer the wheels of cryptocurrencies but got blocked by SEC. Let's hope and see if Jack of Twitter can help in the adoption of cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin without being too greedy to create his own.

God bless twitter CEO while the Central bank governor of Nigeria's apex bank is still confuse and hypocritical about bitcoin, here bitoin is making thousands rich in my country and notable personalities associating wth traders in Nigeria. My Central bank is a classified scam.

~Snip~
Add in Nigeria in the subject title, he (jack) did so on his twitter post, you should too (lol) as this goes to show the level of awareness bitcoin is having in the country.

Oops, Nigeria was there before but the thread wasn't getting as much traction as I wanted. But I've edited it back and it's cool now.

With this news, obviously he didn't just go to Nigeria without any purpose, I bet he's into something. He might also adopt blockchain or even with bitcoin on twitter. This will make it easier to promote bitcoin on twitter since the owner himself is into bitcoin, unlike facebook where there are a lot of toxic people.

Twitter has always been friendly to the crypto community. That's why we've Crypto Twitter. Talking about Jack Dorsey's visit to Nigeria. Yes, he's unto something. He met with tech leaders in the country. I think the bitcoin Meetup would be all about integrating Bitcoin to Nigeria's financial system. Flutterwave might play an instrumental role on that thanks to their payment gateway tech.

Glad to hear that cryptocurrency continues to grow in Nigeria. Maybe the Twitter CEO is talking about crypto opportunities in Nigeria. And maybe they are discussing the big thing about Bitcoin for the future. Many speculations that we can take from the meet up.

I am happy that CEO of twitter is spreading the gospel of bitcoin globally and his coming to Nigeria really shows he is aware about there are huge numbers of bitcoin users and sees the potential effects of having more adopters or hodlers based on the huge population of Nigeria, as for the Central banks Governor I believed he is trying to discouraged the use of bitcoin having considered it decentralized feature whereas he can't control or ban it.

It's interesting to see Jack still in track with bitcoin developments. However, I feel like with him being the CEO of a public company, there's only limited things he could do with bitcoin and his biggest venture, Twitter. He tries to push any and all support he has for crypto from a very personal perspective. In fact, his own influence appears limited compared to the platform he's the CEO of. We shouldn't get too excited trying to connect his involvement with crypto with Twitter's scale because that's likely not going to happen. In fact, I think that Jack might be even seeking out different ventures because among all social media that went public (FB, SNAP), Twitter appears to be having the worst performance this year.
