Vitalik: "Crypto Twitter" can continue to be used as a fixed term in the industry

PANews reported on February 8 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on X, stating that he will accept the rebranding of Twitter and will refer to Twitter as "X" in the future. He also suggested that "Tweet" could become a generalized term, referring to all short text-based messages on social platforms that offer an experience similar to X, much like how "Kleenex" has evolved into a generic term for tissues. Vitalik gave examples, saying this usage could apply to short text content on platforms such as Farcaster, Lens, and Truth Social, and noted that historical posts can still be called "Tweet." In addition, he believes that "Crypto Twitter" can remain as a fixed term, and jokingly suggested it could also be called "CryptoX." He further added that the above content has been simultaneously published to multiple platforms including X, Farcaster, and Lens via Firefly.
