Twitter CEO and self-professed Bitcoin (BTC) maximalist Jack Dorsey is not giving Ether (ETH) fans an inch. In his latest offhand remark about the market's second-largest cryptocurrency, Dorsey downplayed the platform's potential to single-handedly shake up the condition quo in Big Tech:

Dorsey's annotate followed an online discussion of the usefulness of a total-blown integration of nonfungible tokens (NFT) into Twitter, which Twitter user Seyitaylor argued would be more to the benefit of Ethereum than to the social media site.

Dorsey agreed that such a motion would be more consequential for the Ethereum ecosystem than for his own platform simply added, "Every account on Twitter existence able to link to a Lightning wallet however…"

Despite Twitter'southward previous dabbles in the world of NFTs — and Dorsey'due south own apply of the engineering science to enhance money for charity — Dorsey has remained a staunch Bitcoin advocate, much to the frustration of both Ether diehards and less sectarian crypto fans.

When one Twitter user responded to Dorsey'due south comments, pushing him to explain, "Why the ETH hate and so if there's room for more than than one piece to the puzzle?" Dorsey's rejoinder was that "focus on 1 thing isn't hate of the others. I've made my concerns known about others in comparing to Bitcoin. Key ones are founding principles, security, and centralization."

In some other Twitter thread, Garry Tan probed the "mystery" of Dorsey'south single-minded preoccupation with Bitcoin, which Timothy Kim proposed was the veteran crypto'due south promise to serve equally "sound coin," which he claimed was "critical," "especially for the globally underprivileged." Dorsey joined the discussion to hold, asserting that he's in Bitcoin "to help prepare the coin," adding he was "not trolling."

In withal another thread circling the same theme, Dorsey rebuffed claims he was intentionally throwing shade at Ethereum and clarified that for him, "decentralization isn't an end goal [...] it's simply one method of fixing the money." Elsewhere on Twitter, Dorsey said that while he agrees with the spirit of NFTs, his advocacy of Lightning in this context had nothing to do with them merely rather with "enabl[ing] a currency for the internet."

This has been a long-time motto of Dorsey'south, who has repeatedly argued that Bitcoin will be the sole currency of the cyberspace since at least 2022. Unlike other Bitcoin fans who concede there could one 24-hour interval be a "flippening" of the two pinnacle coins' fortunes, he has remained, as far as is publicly known, reluctant to invest in the altcoin to this mean solar day.
