Elon Musk, Mark Cuban Discuss Using Dogecoin to Solve Twitter Spam Problem

Elon Musk Optimistic About Mark Cuban’s Dogecoin Idea

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been discussing on Twitter how to solve the platform’s spam bot problem. He has promised to solve the spam problem “or die trying.” Twitter agreed to sell the company to Musk for about $44 billion last week.

One suggestion came from American billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban. He is a star in the business reality television series Shark Tank and the owner of the NBA team Dallas Mavericks.

In a tweet early Sunday morning, Cuban suggested that everyone puts up one dogecoin (DOGE) for unlimited posts on Twitter. If anyone flags a post as spam and a human confirms that it is, that person gets the spammer’s DOGE. He further explained that spammers have to post 100 times more dogecoin. However, if the post is not spam, the flagger loses his dogecoin.

At the time of writing, Cuban’s tweet has been liked more than 9K times. Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus said, “I like this.” Musk replied, “Not a bad idea.”

Many dogecoin supporters think that Cuban’s suggestion is a good idea, noting that it is very bullish for DOGE. However, some people are skeptical about its viability, with some questioning the requirement to start paying for what is currently a free service and forcing people to use the meme cryptocurrency as collateral to prevent spamming. – Source
