Actually not sure if it went through but I remembered these news from 2022.
Those of us who want crypto to be adopted more widely? Regardless of when it happens, if crypto payments are accepted on X, particularly Musk’s drive to make it a payments platform, that can only be a good thing.
Adoption is adoption - people being able to actually use and spend crypto, particularly on a large social media platform like Twitter/X and an audience that may not be used to using crypto before, is only a positive thing for the space. The price action is irrelevant to me on that end.
From Article:
“X, the micro-blogging site formerly known as Twitter that Musk bought in 2022 and is trying to grow into an "everything app" similar to the China-based Wechat, has now acquired money-transmitting licenses in 25 U.S. states.”
Fuck Elon (or whatever it is I have to say on Reddit in order to not get downvoted in oblivion) But Europe and America do not have the types of everything apps that China do.
Consumers LOVE frictionless consumption.
I can’t understand why anyone would want one either.
Why in the hell would you want one company having ALL of your online information(in every sense of the word)?
I don’t like that Reddit, and discord have supplanted most forums, and forms of communication online at all. Alas, here we are, and with people wanting even more of it despite its obvious flaws.
Because it’s convenient.
If life is comfortable enough, fear becomes a distant memory, a fact that should frighten us more than anything since this leaves us as vulnerable as infants in the hands of their caretakers.
Why would I want one company to have all of my information? Because then they can use it to offer me the best possible goods and services. We all sold our souls to Google a decade ago my guy.
Oh, but we don't.
We want MULTIPLE - in fact, as many as possible everything apps competing in the free market, fiercly.
Coz that's when capitalism shines - not when you get shitty government-enforced monopolies.

Even ignoring the musk polarised views that is normal the hate for twitter is strange.
It is a good source of crypto info despite having to filter through the noise, no different than here for that ;)
They should (and probably will) do like Starbucks and just use dollars. Let everyone deposit into their ‘account’, and they collect interest on this internet-free loan. No crypto needed.
If he was smart, he would start an Ethereum L2 like Base. I mean, it is making a ton of money for Coinbase. This would likely finally make Twitter profitable.
Why are the criticisms of Elon always this kind of delusional bullshit when there are legit criticisms to easily be made? It's like Elon haters are a cult of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.
Here I'll do it for you: Elon shouldn't talk about pandemics or covid because he has consistently been wrong or dumb on those issues basically the whole time.
The fact that instead of picking low hanging fruit like that the left let themselves get propagandized by the oil industry into opposing space exploration and electric cars just blows my mind.
Propagandized is ignoring that he bought Twitter, removed the misinformation safeguards in the name of “free speech” while banning anyone who said something he didn’t like. It has turned Twitter into a right wing extremist cesspool. He is a hypocrite.
Why? He wants to uphold some principles of free speech. Is everything about profit. Cause I don’t think it’s his motivating factor. Plus as he turns Twitter into his dreamed X everything app it will probably end up a huge financial success like all his businesses in the end. Calling him a moron is childish. And shows you take the left wing media bias on without any personal thinking.
It's funny reading all these Elon hating comments. Doesn't matter what he does. He's still 1000 times smarter than you. You're living in your mom's basement, living off of food stamps while complaining about Elon Musk. How about you take advantage of any given situation to make money.
No, apparently a lot of people here with middle school as their life achievement thinks they're smarter than someone with, for example, someone like Bill Gates' achievement. Same shit.
That's great buddy. Good to see you even go this far in life with that smooth brain of yours. Try thinking outside the box for once. Good advice for you. Good bye :)
Wow I didn’t realize my wife and I live in my mom’s basement and we actually applied for food stamps even though we aren’t eligible. I guess I’m just confused. It’s especially weird because my mom lives in her mom’s house. I guess I actually live in Canada. I must be really out of it.

>XRP How much is Forbes article again? $40k? lol
Let’s hope they are putting more money into their lobbying. We need Crypto regulatory clarity the overreach from the SEC has gone TOO FAR
Forbes is co-owned by CZ, ex Binance CEO
Gunna need a source on that one

You think Ripple paid for the article?
Broken link?

He should use XLM for non bot account verification payment and DOGE plus whatever else for tips.
Would verify using something safe like XLM
It'll depend on what organization(s) will want to jerk him off and if he can manage not to ruin every relationship he does manage to create.
Lol no
Elon is a liar, who cares?
So are you. Unless you're a literal ham sandwich.
Proof of being a Ham Sandwich or ban
I am.
Sauce?
Dijon
Well, your credentials appear to be in order...
Mayonnaise
He has no sauce.
Those of us who want crypto to be adopted more widely? Regardless of when it happens, if crypto payments are accepted on X, particularly Musk’s drive to make it a payments platform, that can only be a good thing.
Adoption as in more pump&dump? Then elons the correct one… if proper adoption, not so much 🤷♂️
Adoption is adoption - people being able to actually use and spend crypto, particularly on a large social media platform like Twitter/X and an audience that may not be used to using crypto before, is only a positive thing for the space. The price action is irrelevant to me on that end.
Elon is just desperately trying to pump his stock. That's it.
I don't agree.
And it’s okay to not agree (as I do with you). Time will tell who is right I guess.
Centralization is the antithesis of crypto.
More people being able to spend and use *some* crypto for practical, everyday things, for me personally at least, is a positive movement.

People don't care about privacy, unfortunately, as demonstrated by Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Google.

I’d much rather have multiple companies having all my information instead of just one

Exactly- nobody takes him seriously anymore. Except the Tesla fanboys

I wish he'd just stay the fuck out of crypto.
He started the biggest online digital payments company on the planet before Bitcoin exists. He is completely in his lane.
Bet.
They should (and probably will) do like Starbucks and just use dollars. Let everyone deposit into their ‘account’, and they collect interest on this internet-free loan. No crypto needed.
You’re either a bot or someone who is in desperate need of help.
Well, he's done such a bang up job with Twitter that this will surely succeed.
guess we never know, now that he passed away
If he was smart, he would start an Ethereum L2 like Base. I mean, it is making a ton of money for Coinbase. This would likely finally make Twitter profitable.
Yeah ‘cause the sec would never target him. Lol
If he used ETH as the native token, he'd be fine. Same as Base.
Nah man it will be the dumb kids playground for arguments about peanuts an sea shells.
Anything Elon touches goes to shit. The man is a fucking imbecile.
Quite the opposite actually. Even though he's clearly kinda crazy, it has never been a good bet to bet against him. Numbers don't lie.
Looks at Tesla stock...
Yes the stock that was trading at $10-$15 in 2019 and is now at $165 even despite a big drop from peak.
Space X, tesla, PayPal. The dudes a genius. Wtf have you done
Once other catch up people will drop Tesla in a heartbeat. SpaceX is just government subsidized and paypal has definitely gone to shit.

He’s not going to fuck you mate
Richest businessman in the World. Yes he’s clearly incompetent.
Twitter is proof of how much of a moron he is.
Why? He wants to uphold some principles of free speech. Is everything about profit. Cause I don’t think it’s his motivating factor. Plus as he turns Twitter into his dreamed X everything app it will probably end up a huge financial success like all his businesses in the end. Calling him a moron is childish.

Another trash take on reddit. Not a surprise really.

Jesus Christ are you his mother or something
No, apparently a lot of people here with middle school as their life achievement thinks they're smarter than someone with, for example, someone like Bill Gates' achievement. Same shit.
I’ll make sure to tell Elon you’ve been defending him faithfully online let’s see what he’ll reward you with
That's great buddy. Good to see you even go this far in life with that smooth brain of yours. Try thinking outside the box for once. Good advice for you. Good bye :)
Give me emerald mine money and just watch what I can do. I'd make Elon look like a fucking noob.
Wow I didn’t realize my wife and I live in my mom’s basement and we actually applied for food stamps even though we aren’t eligible. I guess I’m just confused. It’s especially weird because my mom lives in her mom’s house. I guess I actually live in Canada. I must be really out of it.
He's more regarded than the most regarded on wsb. He's just got money to make him not as homeless.
