BTC price quotes now live on Twitter following eToro partnership
On or about Apr. 18, Twitter rolled out Bitcoin (BTC) price quotes on its social media platform, which can be viewed using its search tool.
The price quotes are powered by charting platform TradingView. In conjunction with the display is a link to Israeli cryptocurrency exchange eToro, where users can buy or sell Bitcoin.

Aside from Twitter, Elon Musk also announced on Apr. 17 that he will create an artificial intelligence program dubbed "TruthGPT" after witnessing the success of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT. According to Musk, the truth-seeking AI will push against what he perceives as "left-wing" bias in the media industry.
