You've got to be kidding me.
Why?
reply
Because while Twitter welcomes bitcoiners today there's no guarantee that it will do so tomorrow.
Observe this:
- Twitter will ban you for covid "mis"information even if you sit in Congress
- while Twitter won't ban you yet for denying climate change, it's in the stage of banning ads guilty of this sin
- about a month ago Twitter adopted a more agressive policy against disinformation
- WEF supports the stupid "Change the Code" campaign to convert Bitcoin to PoS to save climate
Do you see what could happen the moment bitcoin annoys the government again?
We have unstoppable decentralized money. We should use it to build unstoppable decentralized market instead of giving the government a convenient kill switch.

We are currently an MVP, not even alpha quality. Some form of decentralized IDs is high on our TODO list, but we had to start somewhere...
We considered Twitter is a good start, since we need some way for people to recognize others (an informal reputation sort of thing). We'll leave that behind eventually, Twitter will become one of the various identities you can link to your account, KeyBase-style, and it will all be optional.
The whole thing is actually built to be decentralized and unstoppable. While we run the instance at plebeian.market for you, you can run your own instance, with your own modifications to the code (which is GPL), hosting any auctions you care about (whether antiques or used cars), in which case you can have your own rules.

Oh, okay. For an MVP that's good enough.
