🧩 Why did it change?
Unless your name is Elon, no one knows.
He’s a huge $DOGE fan.

🧩 What does this mean for Twitter?
Twitter is by no means a stranger to Web3.

With this momentum, here’s what I expect:
$DOGE as the currency to reward content creators on Twitter.

🧩 Why is it a good match for Twitter?
$DOGE ticks all the boxes:
• Low price → More accessible than $BTC and $ETH
• Low fee with fast transaction → More attractive to use
• Strong community → More support for IRL use case adoption (not being just a meme coin)

💭 Final thoughts
Whether the change is permanent or not is still unclear.
But what’s clear to me is that it’s too big to be just another joke.
It could start long-awaited content monetisation.
If you still haven’t started creating content...
Now is the time.
