> Create a browser extension that watches while someone browses Twitter, and puts any tweets they see on the TWITCHAIN. If you provide an unseen tweet to the chain, you get TWITCOIN. 100k people would install this, and you’d scrape Twitter quite quickly.
I can't tell if the author is serious or not. This seems like the most roundabout (and optimistic) way to solve this problem possible.
But more generally, Twitter is tweets, and tweets are written by people, and lots of folks think the promise of "free money" is a bad one. Your weird uncle switching does little to help this plan, you need Matt Levine and Popehat and all the other prolific posters to move. This plan, at its core, tries to attack Twitter the wrong way. It tries to replace the utility of Twitter (reading tweets by interesting people) with financial incentive.
Honestly a great way to waste a billion dollars.
