When I woke up this morning "Let me pay in sats" was my personal number one Twitter trend. This is of course a reference to Elon Musk deciding to charge for a blue check twitter account. It's a good way to get some positive publicity for btc

The things is Jack Mallers, worked with Dorsey when he still was at Twitter to enable tipping using lightning. The system is already there and he just said on Twitter to Musk, that it will take him just days to take the already built lightning system to Twitter in general.
Let's see if Musk responds, but I have the feeling that Musk wants Twitter to become a wallet and exchange for Doge. So they can get a commission for selling Doge to the people.
Kimbal to Elon: "I'd love to help think through the structure for the Doge social media idea"
Proof Musk is planning for shitcoin Twitter: Shitter, if you will
Just read his tweet. It makes perfect sense. Quick and painless, which is why Elon probably won't do it :)

If your information is accurate that would wipe out much benefit of adoption anyway. I'm sorry to hear this. I guess we'll just have to stay on SN and grow it into a better twitter!
That’s the spirit! 🍻
"The only way to fix my shitty product is if everyone pays me $8 per month. This way I do nothing about the bots, and if you don't pay you are ignored like a bot"
I am not a huge fan of Elon Musk either. It is undeniable that being able to pay anything on Twitter with bitcoin is a huge benefit. Also, my post was asking to be able to pay in sats. For the record, I would never sign up and pay Twitter a single sat right now. I'm certain most of the bitcoiners wouldn't either. The whole point is to get bitcoin as a Twitter payment method.
How would you feel if he sticks with his "doge coin only" pattern?
I would of course hate that, and that's certainly a possibility. However, one of Musk's priorities is eliminating bots, and that would be easily accomplished by creating a lnd-auth style log in and payment method. He is good friends with Jack Dorsey, who is working with LN now.
LNauth is just furthering the cat and mouse game. Bots can easily create lightning wallets, people on the other hand can't. I think Stacker has the right approach where you pay to post. This monthly fee approach is a bunch of crap unless this is only one tier of a tiered system. I really don't believe Elon when he says Doge is the future, I think he's grifting the shitcoiners... "pacing and leading" if you will... into his very public journey to bitcoin. That is, of course, assuming he is as smart as he has demonstrated himself to be. I admit he has surprised me with his sudden reversal on his purchase of Twitter, so I can't say I can predict what he will do.
I'm afraid that's what's going to happen.

exactly hahaha
Is someone here paying for twitter?
Same people that paid for a WinRar license.
Deep down I worry you paid it too. So here is 10 little internet monies for you.
Thanks!, I sent you back double that amount of sats as a token of appreciation for awesome people like you.
Now we are back to square one.
Well if they let me pay in sats
not sure if I would give my sats to elon... for basically nothing in return.
Musk has decided to charge for "blue check accounts." He got into a conversation with Stephen King about the cost. Bitcoin Twitter is using this as an opportunity to get Mysk to accept bitcoin on Twitter. There is speculation that Musk wants to leverage Twitter as a payment network. If bitcoin is a payment method, this could be a benefit.
yeah, sounds amazing, lets hope, but to me the guy is not to be trusted.
Start with me
here 10 :)
Thanks
1000% agree
Why bother using a legacy site like twitter when the future is here already at Stacker News, using sats as the native currency.
