@Bitcoin Twitter account was deleted and was recently registered again by turk.

So, looks like the official @bitcoin account was deleted and someone has just resisted it again.
Looks like a noob to me but he's gonna make some money for sure.

Does Twitter routinely delete accounts or was this deleted by it's previous owner. Looks to me that the person who has registered doesn't know the true meaning of this account and the actual value of it. I would like to think that he's already been offered several figures to sell the account name and he doesn't look to care about who he gives it too either. So it will likely either remain in his hands to go to someone with an agenda to have the account. Whether that's to spread misinformation or scam unexpected users.
A lot of damage could be done with this account.

Looks like it's back to normal now, except it's promoting BCH

In any case, I'd love to hear a public explanation from @twittersupport about why #bitcoin competitor #LightningNetwork investor @jack disabled this account, gave it to someone else, only to return it in the face of public backlash with 750,000 fewer followers. #censorship

There is actually a quick recap of that story:

Quick recap of what happened to the @Bitcoin account:

1. ~36hrs ago I discovered the account had been suspended.
2. A new account using the same username began posting nonsense.
3. Community&media outrage ensued
4. Now reinstated, with 750,000 fewer followers than it had before

It is still unclear, why it was suspended and why that new registration was possible at all. We'll see, I hope.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it is part of twitter's war on cryptos - real and perceived. In this instance, the aim was probably to make a prominent pro-Bitcoin Cash twitter account lose a great deal of followers and then pretend to want to make it right again - fully knowing that the damage is already done. Hopefully we will get clarity soon, but I strongly suspect foul play.
