| | 🎊 WEB SUMMIT 2022 EXPERIENCE
Last week BFC core team - Bogusz (CEO), Łukasz (CTO), and Grzegorz (CMO) went to the Web Summit 2022. We asked them for a quick update about the conference. I hope you will feel all that energy!
An enormous amount of people at one place that thinks like you (from official information, there were almost 72k attendees). It was a great occasion to talk with a lot of interesting people. I got a lot of inspiration from listening to big fishes from the crypto space. A visit to this year's web summit further cemented my belief that the BFC community is a world-class innovation.

⁉️ WHAT WE EXPECT ON TWITTER
If you were reading the last two episodes of Bored Founders
news, you're up to date on the current Twitter status.
There were a lot of changes in the last few days, and it's essential to ask the most important question.
What can we expect on Twitter after that Elon Musk revolution?
|
|
| |
We know that Donald Trump will be back.
We know that a verified account will cost $8.
There will probably be more crypto and NFT support inside the application.
What else should we expect?
We asked BoFos some questions:
What do you think about freedom of speech on the platform?
What do you think about the $8 verified account?
What will be the new web3 features on Twitter?
Here are the answers:
At first glance, it seems like it's a great thing for freedom of speech, but I'm afraid that too less censorship is not as good as people think. I
know that it is extremely hard to decide where the border should be, I'm not trying to do it now, honestly, no idea where to start, I just don't think that "no moderation at all" is a good approach for the long term.
The possibility of buying what was supposed to be a "verification mark" does not seem smart to me. I think we've already seen an example of an account banned because it was named "Elon Musk (real one)" and had a verification mark. It was funny, it was following the rules, but the account was banned - looking at all the freedom-of-speech talk, it looks like hypocrisy, don't you think? Elon should find a better business model for the platform.
Something NFT-related, that's for sure, but I won't guess what exactly!
Free speech is in the ideal state, that will be never reached. I think that powered by AI users will mess up a lot in this case.
I think that paying for verification will be a test field. I honestly don’t know how it will impact the platform, but I’m sure that it will be fun 😀
Musk is a
supporter of crypto. I hope that he will do a lot to make web3 more popular. Probably he will earn much more on that, by making some speculation and posting some shocking statements on Twitter.
Honestly, I'm not sure what to think about it.
Elon is talking a lot about "freedom of speech", but I don't think that Twitter had a problem with that in the past. I'm afraid that reducing the number of people responsible for content moderation (and maybe loosening the rules in general) will only increase the number of bots and trolls that post inappropriate content on the platform, which will result in worse experiences overall.
This is extremely bizarre to me. I'm not against the monetization of the platform, but calling someone "verified" only because they paid $8/m is weird. I personally think it shouldn't be called "verified" because it's misleading. I'm also not a fan of the rumored feature where content from people that are paying will be promoted.
Given Elon's affinity for $DOGE, I wouldn't be surprised to see a feature where you can "tip" people with $DOGE, natively on Twitter.
Who the f**k knows… it’s Elon, you can’t predict anything except another Doge pump sooner or later 😅
