If you read between the lines I think it’s pretty obvious that @elonmusk will be integrating @dogecoin into @X as the preferential payments solution. Most likely tied to ad spend and payments to creators also.

The 3 screenshots below have subliminal messages hidden within them…

People seem to be forgetting that BTC.D generally increases in a bear market not a bull market.

In bull markets Alts out-perform #bitcoin and in bear market Alts capitulate harder than #Bitcoin

Don’t be so sure that an explosion on BTC.D means an explosion for #Bitcoin

99.9%…

Research shows that only a few #NFT projects will survive, those with Utility and those that are building vigorously throughout the Bear Market.

Fortunately we very much tick both of these boxes.

#Crypto Twitter, you have been warned on multiple occasions.
