I always wondered if one could start "tweeting" by dropping messages directly into the Bitcoin blockchain. Lots of people are very invested in it, and forking the blockchain is a lot of work and is unlikely to happen causally for the purpose of censorship.

Sure, it would cost something like 50$ a tweet and nobody would read em, but the protocol allows it.
Smoke Signal on Ethereum does this. Uncensorable messages.
