Bitcoin SV’s Twetch considers open-sourcing after shutdown
The social media platform Twetch —a Web3 competitor to X that operates on the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain — unexpectedly shut down on June 6 without prior notice.
Shortly thereafter, several crypto investors found themselves unable to redeem or cash out their nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and virtual collections. In response to one investor, the company stated : “We are working on it.”

On March 14, a United Kingdom court ruled that Craig Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto , the pseudonymous creator of the Bitcoin network.
It is important to note that Josh Petty was the CEO and founder of Twetch.com, and the BSV app had no connections to Wright.
Leaving behind a wishful legacy

“We are also seriously considering open-sourcing, so anyone can spin up whatever version of Twetch they want.”
Challenges facing Web3 platforms
While competitors like Twetch struggle to attract a solid user base, X faces a different set of challenges.
