"I did use it a bit in 2013 for DOGE creation"
Markus created DOGE together with Jackson Palmer and launched the meme coin to the market in 2013. He admitted in a comment to his recent tweet that one of the things that helped him create Dogecoin was Twitter.
He only used that social media platform founded by Jack Dorsey a little until 2020. However, in 2013, when he worked on DOGE, posting on Twitter apparently helped him tell the crypto community about Dogecoin.
i didn't use it much until 2020i may as well have not existed before thattho i did use it a bit in 2013 for the doge creation

Elon Musk making Twitter more attractive app for creators by rebranding it to X
Musk has also extended the length of posts, eliminating the micro-blogging feature of the former Twitter, and added an option to broadcast live videos on the app. Besides, he recently announced that X will not keep any percentage of creators' income until the payout amount grows to $100,000. After that, X will begin to cut 10% off each withdrawal.
This whole discussion started with Markus' ironic post saying "what's the point of people who don't use ??"
what's the point of people who don't use ?

Crypto community still waits if Musk will introduce DOGE payments on Twitter
In a recent tweet (X post) Musk made an announcement of upcoming changes on the platform mainly to do with live video (new functions related to them) for members of X Premium.
The crypto community eagerly responded to that, including Billy Markus. Some users began asking Musk when DOGE payments are coming on the X app.
Even though Musk spoke about adding DOGE as a payment option on Twitter before he even bought the platform, he has remained silent about introducing Dogecoin on X despite multiple questions from X users to clarify his position on this.
Amazing to see so much accomplished in such a short time!Also….Wen Ð on X ? ?
