Nikita Bier, product lead for Musk's X platform, recently confirmed that the platform is launching an 'intelligent cash tag' feature, marking X's official transition from a passive market commentary platform to a financial portal capable of real-time tracking and even trading stocks and cryptocurrencies. This is undoubtedly a milestone in Musk's journey toward building the 'X Super App'.
Do you remember the earlier prediction that Twitter would soon evolve into a super app, entering financial domains like cryptocurrency, especially given the massive costs of AI development? Training cutting-edge large models requires astronomical computing power and hardware costs, making reliance on social advertising revenue alone insufficient to sustain such a high-stakes arms race.
To Musk, the cryptocurrency sector is one of the most cash-rich and high-margin segments. Integrating it into the X ecosystem can provide continuous 'ammunition' for xAI. By embedding financial transactions directly into social media, Musk is attempting to use X as a launchpad to build a blockchain-based super empire.
In the future, blockchain-based applications with long-term stable operation will become the most valuable crypto assets.
