Bitcoin Twitter account @bitcoin has been suspended!!!!!!!!!

[Ale88]

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.

I don't have any source but it's something we're discussing on the Italian subforum and also on some Italian Telegram chats, some people got their accounts blocked/banned. Also an Italian Twitter profile of crypto news has been banned, they've been trying to contact Twitter for days but until now they got no answer. And I repeat, it was all about crypto news, nothing else.

Adios Rog!

As he's the single most divisive figure in all of crypto, he won't be missed.

I didn't see any news/article about that this if its true, except for the @bitcoin twitter account that has previously suspended.

If it's legit then coindesk, cointelegraph, and the twitter handle of bitcoin.com that is owned by Ver and some crypto-related site that has hundreds of thousands of followers of their twitter handle are affected because of this.

Finally, Rodger is taking a good rest and we are not being annoyed. Thanks to What's on Crypto for sharing this amazing news for Bitcoin fans


Twitter has suspended @Bitcoin account for violating its rules (perhaps: trademark abuse, impersonation, etc.) reports https://t.me/whatsoncrypto

Twitter, Facebook, Google and other social media seem to trying to ban Bitcoin. They ban advertisements that related to cryptocurrency.
This might effect on Bitcoin price.

there're many scams going on so it maybe under observance i think

It's been reinstated - apparently it got shut down because it got hacked:

Twitter suspended the @Bitcoin Twitter account, which is run by an anonymous user, over the weekend. The account was briefly taken over by a user who claimed to be Turkish, then by a user who claimed to be Russian, before apparently being restored to its previous owner Monday afternoon.

“We do not comment on individual accounts so nothing to share,” a Twitter spokesperson said when asked about the suspension. “That’s some bullshit if you ask me,” the user behind @Bitcoin tweeted. “I’d like to know why my account was given to someone else, and then when it’s reinstated I’m missing 750,000 of my followers.”

The @Bitcoin account had more than 821,000 followers when it was suspended. Those followers disappeared, but it appears that Twitter is slowly restoring them.

Twitter could have suspended or suspended Bitcoin's account on its social media network, maybe if it violates the established rules. In addition, the number of spam accounts are also considered harmful to other Twitter users. I think

Thank you for the information was also there is news like this and hopefully this will not happen because of the fear in the future will result in this cryptocurrency may be very different from previous news such as twitter and others.

as i found in internet, "In a Twitter-based continuation of the Bitcoin (BTC) vs Bitcoin Cash (BCH) debate, the BCH-promoting Twitter handle, @Bitcoin, has been suspended by Twitter, seemingly due to a large number of complaints from Twitter users – likely Bitcoin supporters."

Booo!

Cmon hackers, back to work!!!

Hmm,  the @bitcoin handler was created by Roger ver which was popularly known as the bitcoin Jesus,  but now known as the bitcoin Judas,  and watching what was going on at the page, since the born of bitcoin cash,  roger very has always been promoting his project,  he is even trying to trick newbies into new into the space,  telling them that bitcoin cash or bcash is the real btc we have.

To watch these actions to try to win the competition with Bitcoin by kidnapping its brand - it's a quite disgusting show.

[franky1]

yawn

more band camp drama...
something bad must be happening in the core camp for them to be really pushing out the 'look in other direction' finger pointing

anyway, so what if something is not advertising CORE.
core should not have any decisions over what a twitter account should tweet about.
core lost hundreds of thousands of merchant usage, and kept announcing thier fork is vault (value store) not common spend utility
core devs/sheep should not decide that everything has to be about them

in the end it will end up with something like litcoin that goes mainstream due to all this bandcamp crap

here is a crude 30scond mockup of the band camp debate (dont knitpick the lack of quality of 30 seconds drawing)


(1) bandcamp a: "A is the real bitcoin"
(3) bandcamp b: "B is the real bitcoin"
(3) smart reality: "neither are.. they are both different to the 2009-2016 network typology, but sheep will follow the loudest sheep herder even to a different field and still call it home"

You're not the least bit disgusted by comments by Ver to the effect of "Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin", and "Bitcoin is no longer a cryptocurrency"?

That idiot (Ver) pushes his self-serving propaganda night-and-day all under the guise of being "Bitcoin Jesus."

When in fact he hates bitcoin and roots for its demise on a daily basis.

You must be a bigtime BCH holder. There's no other rational explanation for your lack of moral fortitude.

Sorry to hear about your ever-surmounting losses. But you backed the wrong camp, and you're getting what you deserve.

PS: Merchant adoption of BTC is growing, despite your personal opinions. And merchant adoption of BCH remains comparatively nonexistent.

That's exactly what happened. I would have had the slightest bit of respect for Ver had he come up with his own coin name instead of trying to ride on the coat tails of the success of the bitcoin brand.

im not in any band camp. sorry but i don't play that sheep game.
just because i detest cores controls and centralisation of their roadmap plans. does not mean im in other camps.

i have not touched my main hoard since 2013 so i dont swing either way. i just have a birds eye view over the whole landscape

merchant adoption of selling produce in the real world for cores chain has dropped. the tx fee drama caused that.
and before you even try more FUD. the fee drama was caused by mixers. not by pools and not by 2 certain guys reddit points fingers at.. if you cared to look beyond the reddit sheep copy and past propaganda drama.

anyway back to merchant adoption.
have you even bothered checking on how coinbase and bitpay have changed... i guess not
as for the article you linked all its blasting is newegg.. funny thing is newegg has been accepting bitcoin since 2014

but now go and check out coinbase and bitpay and you will see why the article YOU posted says "demand for cryptocurrencies".. and then appends 'future growth for bitcoin'
you will see that merchants have moved away from cores network (apart from a few big OLD names that remained loyal hense named singularly) with the hope the thousands of others that use other cryptocurrency switch back in the future once core/if core can sort their crap out

and as i said, in the end it will probably be that something like litecoin or ethereum whichs ends up dominating the merchant acceptance market, because if you actually look beyond the couple named core loyalists. you will see many many more made a shift.

but hey. when you see core devs themselves admit that cores chain is not for merchants, but for store of value. and even big named fanboys like andreas saying if you dont like cores roadmap go play with other coins..
samson mow said prtty much the same thing, cores chain isnt for meerchants. but for value store
many fanboys/core loyalists have literally been screaming that cores chain is not the "buy coffee for btc" purpose

thus not even trying to retain merchants.. you cant deny that cores chain is losing its merchant desirability and core dont care.
most devs, dont think of bitcoin as an ecomomy. their buzzword is "experiment" and they are too afraid to even take it out of beta. because to them its a game, not an economy

but again hey. stick your head in the loyalist sand and pretend core are your kings and deserve their decision making power to ruin the original ethos of bitcoin and move away from the 2009-2014 purpose of bitcoin.

enjoy your home in the other field with the sheep that all agree with you that its all your home. even if the landscape is different than the original field

maybe next time. take off the core defence cap.. and wear the bitcoin 2009-2014 ethos defence cap. you know think about bitcoin(2009-2014). not core.. then you might see beyond the field you have set as your home to see the wider landscape.

this is the reality of what has been happening. rectangles are blocks with their total size and lines represent transactions.

both forks happened from the old chain (blue one) like any other fork before them. the first one with SegWit was adopted by the majority and is used by the majority (like the forks before it) so it IS bitcoin. the second one was rejected by the majority and it is not even used by anyone (B) and yet they mislead people into believing it is "real bitcoin".

So far Core's done a pretty good job. The point isn't so much that I trust them. Its more that I do not trust Roger Ver.

Transaction fees are down to an average of $0.14, but if you don't actually use bitcoin then I wouldn't expect you to know this.

[ATN.io]

There is another @bitcoin account.

https://twitter.com/bitcoin. I'm confused because it is a very active account now, just a few days ago it looked like a random account that was never used. Maybe after the account was suspended someone else was able to register with it???

nope
(3)rectangles are the network. and the lines are the clients.
the blue network. starting from the left had one client.. satoshi... which started in 2009
then in 2010 a github version started (the triangular shape that goes blue to orange)
the other lines are other clients that worked happily on the network without becoming a altcoin. but had opposing bips. consensus decided not to upgrade the network for som of them

then there was a (orange box) bitcoinABC (made by the BLOQ team, funded by the same guys that fund gmax and BS core dev salaries) the purpose was to make a split event at a certain date. to avoid consensus.. but to intentionally cause an intentional split. all bevause core couldnt get above a 35% consensus threshold and blockstream were running out of time before they were desiring to VC beg another seed round of funding..

so with the aid of partners. bloq got cores opposition away from the original network and onto a purple network, thus with no opposition due to the deportation event. core could trigger segwits network typology which is the yellow network
