The site ran for years and was able to onboard many users, but I was simply too early! Bitcoins price was too volatile

Although Bitcoin price is less vollatile than a decade ago, i expect you'll face such problem again. For example recent FTX collapse also dragged Bitcoin price.

In light of recent events with Twitters new commitment to free speech and its new owner I have decided to relaunch UpTweet.com!

I have few doubt about free speech commitment. For example, parody/joke about Elon Musk got punished[1] along with some censorship attempt[2].

3. Native coin for the platform will be switched from BTC to Doge for community marketing purposes.

Do you have long-term plan to support Lightning Network?

To see the site as it once was use the Waybackmachine or scroll through my Twitter history from 2013-2016 and you will see many campaigns that went viral. Heres our biggest one: https://twitter.com/BrianSantoshi/status/265524962343919616

Let me know what you guys think and if you want to see UpTweet come back!

I checked few archived story[3-4] and it's rather interesting. If you decide to come back, i might try UpTweet assuming there aren't many low quality content.

1. The volatility problem will still be there yes, but still way more manageable than it was in 2013 lol. In the future we will create pricing algorithms on the site so that the global payout rate is always in line with dollar value. For now the rate is set manually by us.
2. I do believe Elon has a serious commitment to free speech. Otherwise, why would he overpay $44 billion for a money losing company? I am following the money on this one... The free speech updates will take time, and have to be implemented in a controlled fashion. Many free thinkers are already being let back on the platform with many more to come.
3. Yes, we do have plans to support the lightning network at some point in the future. We are not Bitcoin core maximalists, but we do believe Bitcoin is king.
4. Thank you so much for your support and interest!
