Twitter engineers have been told to build up the system using a platform that could in the near future support cryptocurrencies if someday the opportunity would arise. Musk has stated long ago that he wants Twitter to become an everything app by adding a payment method to the social media platform. This is still all rumors of a bigger plan in development, so we´ll have to see if they will use crypto technology or blockchain at some point. But Musk is sure that he is seeing a big role in crypto, especially with Twitter.
It´s not an unusual foreseeable future since Musk himself has had a big influence on cryptocurrencies. He´s very supportive of Dogecoin and has helped raise it by just tweeting about it. After the news broke out about the Twitter plan, Dogecoin spiked to its first 24-hour high.
