He won't need PCI compliance. He's going to attempt to make a wechat with cryptocurrency as a method of payment in collaboration with binance. We'll see if it sticks.


It'll probably stick for however long it takes for Musk to publish a history of someone's paid-video purchases in response to a mean tweet.

Not sure what problem a cryptocurrency would solve in this case.


There's a lot of porn on Twitter. The "paid videos" feature that you get with a blue check seems to be focused on this crowd.

Can you imagine someone as volatile and vain as Elon Musk having your porn viewing history? There's a good reason why most sex entrepreneurs stay off the radar.

I personally can't wait for him to kinkshame a Twitter influencer who makes him mildly upset.


Isn't this the Facebook Libera plan, which got lolnoped by regulators before it even got off the ground?


Pretty much, although Musk might be more persistent in the face of being lolnoped by regulators than Facebook and the financial institutions they invited along to try to add credibility to their project.
