Twitter and Tesla CEOs are Planning to have a Bitcoin-Based Discussion at a Crypto Community Event

Jack Dorsey is the CEO of Twitter and Square Inc. Over the past few months, Dorsey has emerged as a Bitcoin advocate and maximalist. At the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami, he even claimed that he could leave both his companies to work on Bitcoin projects if needed. According to his statements, Bitcoin is the only digital asset that tickles his fancy. He has also gone on to claim that Bitcoin technology has the potential to change the conventional financial system.

His interest in blockchain technology can be measured by the notion that he auctioned off his first tweet as an NFT. Recently, Dorsey took to Twitter to announce a new Bitcoin community event next month called ‘The B Word’. Among others, Tesla’s CEO also took an interest in the Tweet and asked a series of questions. At the end of the discussion, Musk and Dorsey agreed to meet at the event to discuss Bitcoin.
