Twitter is dead. Meet the 'X' app.

TL;DR

  • So, Twitter is no longer Twitter (sort of). Elon just swapped the Twitter logo out for a black and white 'X' ☝️

  • Elon's publicly stated vision for the platform is for it to become an 'everything app,' similar to China's WeChat (hopefully, without the government backdoor).

  • (Imagine Twitter & PayPal having a baby - and BOOM! You have the X app).

  • With the addition of payments, comes the potential for a crypto integration (it ain't a sure thing, but we've all seen how Elon ​stans​ Dogecoin).

Full Story

So, Twitter is no longer Twitter (sort of).

Elon just swapped the Twitter logo out for a black and white 'X' ☝️

Which is the first step toward an overall rebrand which will see the Twitter brand be entirely replaced by 'X.'

What does this have to do with crypto?

Nothing...yet.

Elon's publicly stated vision for the platform is for it to become an 'everything app,' similar to China's WeChat (hopefully, without the government backdoor).

That means X is aiming to become an app that rolls social media, messaging, and payments all into one unified platform.

(Imagine Twitter & PayPal having a baby - and BOOM! You have the X app).

Here's where blockchain tech comes into play:

With payments, comes the potential for a crypto integration (it ain't a sure thing, but we've all seen how Elon ​stans​ Dogecoin).

The potential to have ~200 million daily active users all of a sudden have direct access to crypto payment rails?

We like the sound of that.
