Social media monetization has always been a challenge. If you ask me, introducing stablecoin payment features could directly boost platform revenue growth. The problem is that building Twitter's payment system is too complicated—涉及多国监管、结算周期、用户信任度…… Just these factors can stall many projects.

What’s even more disheartening is on the user side: survey data shows that about 90% of active Twitter users have never made a purchase on the platform. What does this mean? Payment habits haven't been developed yet. If stablecoins were used, with low thresholds, fast transactions, and seamless cross-border capabilities, it might open that door. But the prerequisite is strong promotion—this probably requires a firm decision from top management.

90% haven't spent? Haha, I am one of that 90%, saving money so much that I have no desire to spend anymore. The cross-border settlement cycle is really hell. Stablecoins can indeed save trouble, but does Twitter dare to accept them? All those regulatory messes can crush any ambition. Basically, it's a lack of that "I damn well must do it" determination. This has been tested three times in Web3 already. User trust is the hardest part. Not everyone understands stablecoins... Although we study gas fees every day, ordinary people? They'd rather stay poor. Low barriers and fast transactions are indeed unbeatable advantages. The problem is that Twitter's top management needs to have the guts; that's the real bottleneck.

ngl the 90% stat is wild but let me pull the data here—stablecoins won't fix adoption if the underlying payment rails are still sus. regulatory arbitrage across jurisdictions? that's a red flag pattern i've seen before. remember folks always DYOR on who's actually settling these txns

90% haven't made a purchase? That's quite harsh data, indicating there's basically no desire to pay. --- Stablecoins sound good, but with multi-country regulations... can it really be managed? --- I believe in low barriers to entry, but changing user habits takes time. --- If top management isn't committed, even the best plans are useless. --- Cross-border accessibility is indeed an advantage of stablecoins; it depends on whether Twitter dares to really implement it. --- 90% haven't made a purchase; the problem might not be with the payment method. --- The complexity of the payment system is well known in the industry; it's not something stablecoins can solve entirely. --- Difficult to monetize, but are stablecoins really a magic bullet? Feels like it's been overhyped. --- If Twitter really pushes this feature, passing regulatory review would be a good start. --- User habits are the core; payment methods are just superficial.

This 90% of the data is really impressive. To be honest, Twitter users simply never thought about spending money. Regulation is indeed a mess, but can stablecoins really break through... It's a bit too idealistic. Top management making a decision? Haha, just look at Musk's recent actions. Web3 payments, it's not the technology that's the bottleneck, it's human nature. Twitter wants to turn things around with this, but they need to wait a bit longer. Actually, the low barrier is just superficial; user trust is the real challenge. It sounds good, but how much of it can actually be implemented? Stablecoin payments are indeed attractive, it all depends on who can take the first bite. This logic has too many assumptions, and the risks are not small.
