TL;DR
-
So Twitter is no longer Twitter (sort of). Elon just traded the Twitter logo for a black and white ‘X’
-
Elon’s publicly stated vision for the platform is for it to be an “everything app,” similar to WeChat in China (hopefully without the government backdoor).
-
(Imagine Twitter and PayPal having a baby – and BOOM! You’ve got the X app).
-
With the addition of payments comes the potential for a crypto integration (it’s not certain, but we’ve all seen how Elon punch dogecoin).

So Twitter is no longer Twitter (sort of).
Elon just traded the Twitter logo for a black and white ‘X’
That’s the first step towards an overall rebranding that completely replaces the Twitter brand with “X.”
What does this have to do with crypto?
Nothing yet.
Elon’s publicly stated vision for the platform is for it to be an “everything app,” similar to WeChat in China (hopefully without the government backdoor).
That means X is striving to become an app that merges social media, messaging, and payments all into one unified platform.
(Imagine Twitter and PayPal having a baby – and BOOM! You’ve got the X app).
Here’s where block chain technology plays a role:
With payments comes the potential for a crypto integration (it’s not certain, but we’ve all seen how Elon punch dogecoin).
The potential to have ~200 million daily active users instant access to crypto payment rails at once?
We love that.
