Once upon a time, in the whimsical world of social media, our giant friend X (formerly known as Twitter, but don’t call it that!) decided to put an end to a rather fantastical rumor. It bravely declared, “No, we shall not become a cryptocurrency exchange!” Yes, you heard that right-no direct Bitcoin trading for you, dear users!
Our hero, Nikita Bier, the head honcho of products over at X, stepped up to clear the air after a tall tale went viral, suggesting that this platform was just a hop, skip, and a jump away from launching its very own brokerage services for over a billion users! Oh, what a merry dance that would be!
“Smart cashtags” – What on earth are those?
The confusion, it seems, sprouted from a particularly mischievous fake report on X, claiming users could “trade stocks and crypto directly from their timeline.” Imagine that! Trading while scrolling through cat memes!
U.Today Crypto Digest: Shiba Inu is bouncing back like a rubber ball, while an ex-Ripple wizard declares Bitcoin a ‘Dead End’. And guess what? Goldman Sachs now owns 14% of the fanciful XRP ETF!
But hold your horses! In an update confirmed by our brave knight Bier and the trusty “Community Notes” feature, X’s strategy is laser-focused on information-not execution. So, no need to get your hopes up, folks!
However, in a surprising twist, the platform is unveiling “smart cashtags”-a feature that aims to turn your financial chatter into something a bit more actionable. These magical cashtags will allow users to click on ticker symbols in posts and view real-time data. Click, click, hooray!
Rumor has it that users can “execute trades within the app,” making it easier than ever to act on market news without the hassle of switching to some boring old brokerage account. How convenient! It’s all part of Elon Musk’s grand plan to transform X into an “everything app,” much like China’s WeChat. Because why not manage your entire digital life in one place, right?
Taking a stand against spam! Huzzah!
Bier, being the noble soul that he is, wants crypto to flourish on X. However, he’s also taken a firm stand against the pesky creatures known as spam. “I genuinely want crypto to proliferate on X,” he proclaimed, “but applications that create incentives to spam, raid, and harass random users are most decidedly not the way!”
