- Rumors about an “X coin” came about before Twitter’s rebranding to X when code snippets discovered by dedicated enthusiasts indicated the creation of a unique digital currency.
- However, due to the platform’s evolution and change in ownership, these intentions were halted.
- Musk’s statement has drawn considerable attention from cryptocurrency enthusiasts, including supporters of DOGE.
- Since Musk assumed control of X, there has been speculation about integrating DOGE as a native currency. His recent response has rekindled these discussions and triggered renewed speculation.
- Musk’s reply focused solely on questions about the “X coin” and not other related subjects. This raises the issue of whether his denial includes a broader refusal of token transactions for X or whether DOGE is still being considered for that purpose.
