Hey Annie!
Guess what?
Dogecoin is making headlines again!๐๐ฐ Elon Musk just hinted that DOGE payments might be coming to X, which used to be Twitter.
They're planning to charge users a fee to post and interact on the platform.
Really?
That's interesting!๐ฎ But why would they want to charge users?
Great question, Annie!
They're trying to combat the growing bot problem on X.
The idea is that by charging a small fee, it'll be more expensive for bot operators to create tons of accounts, which should discourage them.
Oh, I see.
So, this fee will apply to all users or just new ones?
Just the newbies!๐ They won't be able to reply, like, or bookmark a post unless they pay this fee.
And guess what?
This isn't even a new thing.
They've already started implementing this policy in some places like the Philippines and New Zealand.
Wow!๐ฒ So, how much is this fee exactly?
It's just a small annual fee of $1.
Doesn't sound like much, right?
But imagine if you're a bot operator creating thousands of new accounts every day.
It adds up!๐ธ
I see.
That makes sense.
And how has this policy been working so far in the places where it's already implemented?
Well, they've been testing it out in those regions to see if it helps reduce spam and improve user experience.
And since they're planning to roll it out site-wide, I'd say the tests were pretty positive!๐
That's good to hear.
But what about Dogecoin payments?
When will that be implemented?
Ah, the million-dollar question!๐ค Well, X already allows cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for tipping creators.
But there's no substantial payment use case for Dogecoin yet.
However, given that the fee for new accounts is so small, it's possible that Dogecoin payments will be used at some point.
I see.
So, is this news good or bad for the market?
Well, if Dogecoin does get implemented as a payment method on X, it could definitely be a big boost for DOGE!
So yeah, I'd say this is pretty good news!๐
To sum up, this article is considered a ๐Bullish for investors!!
