📲 xchat surprise from Elon Musk: The new messaging application likened to Bitcoin attracted a reaction

X (formerly called Twitter) CEO Elon Musk announced the new messaging application Xchat last Sunday. However, this new application did not affect both technology experts and crypto community.

Xchat has been introduced with end -to -end encryption, lost messages, phone numbers without phone numbers. But the real debate returned to the claim that the application uses “Bitcoin -style encryption”.

🧪 What do experts say?

Ian Miers, Associate Professor of Computer Sciences at the University of Maryland, criticized this discourse with the following words:

“Bitcoin is not a priority encryption, but uses signature. This is like saying,‘ NASA runs its rockets with hydrogen and oxygen, and we will fly rockets with water ’.”

Experts stated that the data on the Bitcoin network is not actually encrypted and that all transactions are confirmed only by digital signatures and that Musk’s statements are not based on the technical basis.

In addition, Miers emphasized that Rust language or labels such as “Bitcoin style” are not guaranteed to security:

“Neither‘ Bitcoin style ’nor‘ Rust ’defines a encryption algorithm. These cannot be a security guarantee for a messaging application.”

📉 The market did not care

The price of Bitcoin watched around 105,000 dollars after the news. BTC, which lost 3 %last week, did not change direction with this announcement.

🧩 Other Features of Xchat

End -to -end encrypted messaging

Lost messages

File, audio and video sharing without phone number

Synchronized access on all platforms

However, details, such as the real safety infrastructure of the application and whether it will be open source, remain uncertain.

Although Elon Musk’s Xchat move seems to be ambitious in the field of confidentiality, the weakness of technical explanations shadows the seriousness of the implementation. Marketing discourses such as “Bitcoin style” are thought to play brand power instead of security.
