Twitter Takes a Leap into Crypto
In a recent twist for the digital currency landscape, Twitter has introduced a feature allowing users to easily check the prices of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) by simply typing in their ticker symbols or names in the search bar. This advancement enhances the previous implementation of the ‘$Cashtags’ concept, making crypto tracking almost as easy as tweeting a cat video.
How It Works: The Simple Step-by-Step
The Twitter Business account announced this upgrade on December 21, with a clear-cut explanation:
- Type ‘$BTC’ or ‘$ETH’ in the search tab (no, you don’t have to use those dollar signs, but who doesn’t love a good symbol?).
- Click the suggested results and voila! A price graph appears, ready to give you all the ups and downs of the market.
Seems like no matter how wild your crypto journey is, you can keep a track on these two giants with just a few taps on your screen.
Elon Musk and The Tweet That Lifted Spirits
Plus, just a day after the announcement, Elon Musk chimed in via his Twitter handle, celebrating this feature as just one of many upcoming enhancements for financial Twitter. Nothing says tech innovation like a good old Elon retweet, right?
“One of many product improvements coming to financial Twitter! Nice work by Twitter team.” – Elon Musk
What Happens to the Others?
As of the latest updates, BTC and ETH seem to be the only cryptocurrencies basking in the limelight of Twitter’s new feature. Other beloved cryptos, like Dogecoin (DOGE), weren’t invited to this party yet. However, Twitter has hinted that more tokens will be explored, and we are left in eager anticipation for the inclusion of other cryptocurrencies. Dogecoin fans, hang tight!
Interestingly, the integration offers a shiny ‘View on Robinhood’ link for those who want to dive deeper into their crypto consciousness. While the specifics of a partnership between Twitter and Robinhood remain shrouded in mystery, it appears Twitter may be paving the way to drive even more traffic to the trading platform.
Rumors and Speculations: The Future of Twitter Crypto
In addition to the current developments, whispers of a potential Twitter native cryptocurrency, whimsically dubbed “Twitter Coin,” have started circulating. Musk even had the audacity to create a Twitter poll, inquiring if he should step back from his CEO position—because who doesn’t love a little drama in their social media feeds?
