Binance – The world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume  declared that it was an equity investor in Twitter. Made a $500 million investment to bridging social media and news to Web 3.

What if Twitter ran on Blockchain?

Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. With over 320 million monthly active users, it’s safe to say that a lot of people use Twitter every day. But what if Twitter ran on blockchain? The idea of a decentralized social media platform is not new. In fact, there are already a few blockchain-based social media platforms out there. However, none of them have been able to achieve the same level of popularity as Twitter. There are a few reasons why a decentralized Twitter could be successful. 

For one, it would be much more secure than the current centralized platform. Hackers would no longer be able to access user data. Controlling the accounts is not possible.

Another benefit of a decentralized Twitter would be that users would own their own data. Currently, Twitter owns all the data that is posted on its platform which means that they can sell this data to advertisers. Use it for other purposes without the consent of the users. 

On a decentralized platform, users would have complete control over their data.

Elon Musk’s Future visions of Twitter

In January 2021, ex-president Donald Trump was permanently banned from using Twitter. It is expected that Musk will restore the accounts which were previously banned from the platform.

Elon Musk is no stranger to cryptocurrency.  Tesla is one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin—despite having sold 75% of its holdings. And Musk has frequently pumped the original meme coin, Dogecoin. Musk, who said he was buying Twitter to ensure the “future of civilization,” in April, said that  cryptocurrency could be used for payments on Twitter.
