The cryptocurrency wallet will support the extraction, transfer, storage, etc. of mainstream cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, DOGE, etc.
Jane Manchun Wong, a Hong Kong-based technical researcher and reverse engineering expert, who is known for discovering new features of Twitter, Instagram and other websites in advance, posted the latest tweet on her Twitter earlier today (25th), saying: Twitter is developing a technology that supports ’Wallet Prototype‘ for Cryptocurrency Deposits and Withdrawals.
At present, Jane said that more information has not been obtained, and it is not clear which chain the wallet will support in the future and how to connect with the Twitter account; but the tweet quickly triggered a heated discussion in the community, and basically netizens said the wallet The development of all has an ’optimistic‘ attitude.
Twitter’s recent attempt to embrace cryptocurrencies
Twitter Inc. has been developing features related to friendly crypto payments or NFTs for a long time. Last week, Twitter reported that it was collaborating with a number of NFT marketplaces, including OpenSea, Rarible, Magic Eden, Dapper Labs, and Jump.trade, to enable ’Tweet Tiles,‘ a type of post that supports the display of NFTs.
In September last year, the company officially announced the launch of the Twitter tipping function, which allows users to tip BTC through Bitcoin Lightning Network and Strike in addition to connecting to Cash App, Patreon, Venmo and other accounts to tip. At the beginning of this year, Twitter officially announced that as long as users spend $2.99 per month to upgrade to ’Twitter Blue‘, they can connect to ’cryptocurrency wallets‘ and set NFTs on their personal avatars.
Twitter Employee: We’re Not a Billionaire Flag
However, what may have a huge impact on the development of the wallet or the future of Twitter is that last week, the latest foreign media report pointed out that Musk may lay off 75% of employees on a large scale after joining Twitter, causing internal dissatisfaction and panic.
According to a report by Time Magazine yesterday, an open letter is currently being drafted by internal Twitter employees, which reads: Musk plans to fire 75% of Twitter employees, which will damage Twitter’s ability to serve public conversations, and a threat of this scale is reckless , undermines the trust of our users and customers in our platform, and is a transparent act of intimidation of workers.
The letter asks Musk to promise that he will retain Twitter’s current workforce if he succeeds in acquiring the company, and asks him not to discriminate against employees based on their political beliefs, promise a fair severance policy and more communication about working conditions.
‘We demand to be treated with dignity and not just being seen as pawns in the billionaire game.’
The letter has not yet been officially released, and Musk has not yet made a statement on whether to lay off staff, but he replied in an earlier tweet discussing Twitter’s censorship system: Twitter should be as broad as possible. A fair forum for vigorous, even occasionally hostile, debate between widely divergent beliefs.
