This is very unfortunate. This is targeted attach on Bitcoin, more importantly on free speech. This is bad from Twitter. I just hope price bounce back soon. Good luck everyone. Thanks for sharing the info.

Next time, I recommend you research before posting because it's clear you don't have a clue what you're saying.

The @Bitcoin Twitter account was under the control of Roger Ver. The same Roger Ver that created Bitcoin Cash. In the past few months, the @Bitcoin Twitter handle has been tweeting statements/articles supoorting Bitcoin Cash, and going against Bitcoin. You can look up an archive of their tweets to see what I mean.

In additition, the account was reinstated earlier today, although it is rumoured Roger Ver no longer controls the account.

Many people believe that bitcoin.com and the @bitcoin twitter are officially pages for Bitcoin. The truth is they are/were BOTH owned by Roger Ver. I am not part of the Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash debate but even I can recognize that the bitcoin.com website and @Bitcoin were clearly biased towards Bitcoin Cash.

It looks like they are really looking for everything related to crypto to be banned. Remember they are already banning crypto ads to it will really make sense for them to hunt for accounts which they think are hying ICO's or has been reported as scamming people using their platform, so everyone should be very careful specially hash tagging.

But yes its a free market. And Twitter targeting accounts with bitcoin or crypto as a whole is like suppressing our free speech. I'm sure that twitter will get a lot of backlash from making this bitch moved.

What you say is true, even today we can still see and read some sentences posted @Bitcoin and I hope this is just a misunderstanding which is done by the Twitter to @ Bitcoin.

I doubt that they will touch every twitter account which is mainly used for crypto purposes. It'll too hard for them to regulate thousands or even millions of our accounts.
Also, I'm sure they don't want to divert crypto people into another site because we still causes a lot of traffic and impressions.

It's true, but it should not be too important, or it's just a drama to lower the price, but I always think well for the bitcoin progress in the future.

[andrew1carlssin]

Taking on account that as "crypto" enthusiasts .. we are some sort of dysfunctional family  

and since those guys have a lot money to hire good lawyers .. I guess we can grab a bucket of popcorn ..

My question ..
What exactly terms of Twitter's TOS was violated by the banned user?

Looks like that in these days a lot of accounts related to cryptocurrencies and ICOs have been banned on Twitter, this is not actually a good news, it's a kind of censorship.

[campbell.box]

Only by making a good management system, the blockchain technology can truly bring unlimited benefits to mankind.

Twitter abused its rights and banned the free speech of digital encryption.

[akashark]

Bitcoin has not had an official management team, Bitcoin hasn't any twitter account. So, If you are talking about Roger Ver's @Bitcoin account then that twitter handle was for supporting bitcoin cash not worthy for bitcoin. This News will not affect on Bitcoin  And, Thanks for the news, Mate.

[sate_padang]

I think the suspension is not really a problem for bitcoin, bitcoin will always evolve and advance for a better future, that's the best.

In addition to this I think they are going to get all serious when the price of bitcoins is already this low..
You know what they say about stomping on the enemy when he is already down ?
I do think that they are trying to kill the bitcoins once and for all.

They just want the Bitcoin cash to spurge about bitcoins this year so that their own investments could bring good rewards .

[squatz1]

Pretty crazy to see this actually happen, I didn't think twitter would ever go ahead in removing Ver from the space which he has had such a holdover on twitter. Though I do have to say, in one way I agree with the ban -- he's not Bitcoin and shouldn't be saying that he is through his Bitcoin Cash shit. Though, he is being censored for his views on bitcoin -- at least this is what I got from it -- if someone else could find a reason from twitter then I'd have to reevaluate my view here.

Lets see folks!

I noticed the suspend just yesterday 10 hours ago from the statement of ver on  twitter

Looks like that in these days a lot of accounts related to cryptocurrencies and ICOs have been banned on Twitter, this is not actually a good news, it's a kind of censorship.

Can you give some sources where crypto-related accounts on twitter have been banned? Suspension of account/s is different from banning them. And @bitcoin is now back but beware there is the same username giving free btc, just ignored them or be scammed.

It's called promotion/marketing to get more followers

Why'd you say that he is being censored for his views on bitcoin? He is still free to carry his "babies dying" and "I am the first investor in the world to invest in bitcoin" megaphone around.
The @bitcoin twitter handle wasn't meant for him to use for covertly attacking bitcoin and promoting BCash. Same for bitcoin.com.

If this wasn't crypto and if bitcoin actually was a company, he would have been sued by now for misrepresenting another trademark. He knows that such a thing cannot happen but someone had to stop him from this underhanded, unethical practice.

I am glad that twitter did it. Either due to complaints from the bitcoin community or due to their own policy.

[andrew1carlssin]

I will stick to the agreement terms of service between twitter and users ....

if an account is closed and/or suspend ..twitter must to give plausible reasons and cite specifically witch article of TOS was violated.

A legitimate terms-of-service agreement is legally binding and may be subject to change.[2] Companies can enforce the terms by refusing service. Customers can enforce by filing a suit or arbitration case if they can show they were actually harmed by a breach of the terms. There is a heightened risk of data going astray during corporate changes, including mergers, divestitures, buyouts, downsizing, etc., when data can be transferred improperly.

it depends on why they banned that account. i seriously doubt they just banned it because of what it was posting, they don't care about that. but they may have banned it because it was a stolen/hacked account.

also as for "free speech", if that is what you think is free speech then we should created a @BitcoinCash account and post 30 tweets per day saying bitcoin cash is a scam and will steal your money. how does that sound?

Roger Ver is a scumbag, never trust that sneaky snake!

as I said I will not take "Ad hominem" path ... My interest is only regards to Twitter Inc. and their relationship with their costumers.

ps-> btw.. I had to google "who is Roger Ver" .. and I end up at Wikipedia page ...
