Twitter disallowed users to tweet bitcoin addresses ever since that infamous bitcoin doubler scam. But it looks like you can still put them in your bio. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FpzHpBqL%2Fimage0.jpg&t=665&c=FF2AL2TxDp07Ew) This is an address left in someone’s bio on their profile. It must mean that Twitter intentionally does not scan profiles for BTC addresses, only tweets and maybe quote/retweets too. I don’t think they scan DMs, do they?

I was not aware about it. My recently created Twitter account: https://twitter.com/R777bttAnd you can see in the bio I have a BTC address. And this @Bitcoin_RT is a bot? They retweeted my tweet and I do not have any idea how they found me, a brand-new account LOL

People follow them since they aggregate tweets from otherwise invisible people together.

where did you find information that Twitter does not allow posting BTC address in a tweet? as far as I know, they have a restrictive policy towards any fraud or begging for Bitcoin donation. Also, I know for many accounts who had automated price ticker bot, they also suspended because too many posts in a short time due to frequent price changes. but it all belongs to spam, such is the relation to other branches as well.

If the appearance on that profile, it doesn't matter to me, actually there are lots of fake project twets or those using fake ico names, be careful about responding to twets like that

" Twitter is now restricting posts that contain cryptocurrency addresses" - https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/71876/twitter-crypto-address-postsSomeone on twitter pointing this out: https://twitter.com/wongmjane/status/1283621687582265344So it looks like they've disabled it now but only in the bio? I don't use twitter so i wouldn't know...i still think scammers could use a twitter acc bios to target crypto newcomers

Hum. Honestly don't see how this would prevent any scams but maybe there's something I don't know. I mean, can think of a few easy workarounds: put in a QR code or post an image, or just a link that goes to an invoice asking to pay. Which I suppose, works for anyone who really wants to put an address for legitimate purposes but equally accessible to those not.

I assume that posting Bitcoin addresses in tweets can be considered spamming,which is forbidden by Twitter,just like posting affiliate links in tweets,even though some spammers can find a way to bypass this rule. Having a Bitcoin address inside your BIO isn't considered spamming,so it's not forbidden by Twitter's Terms of Service.It's OK to have a BTC wallet address in your profile BIO,as long as you are not spamming that address and you are not begging for donations. Anyway,I'm not a fan of Twitter.There are way better social media platforms. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Honestly, I'm not aware of this news but as per my quick research, this article says. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/twitter-bitcoin-address-hack-elon-musk-cryptocurrency-scam-a9622056.htmlHowever, it seems to be no longer possible to include bitcoin addresses in tweets.
Attempts made by The Independent resulted in a message stating: "We're sorry, we weren't able to send your tweet." Which means it's not only allowed when you do a tweet but it's still allowed when you put that address in your BIO.

And this @Bitcoin_RT is a bot? They retweeted my tweet and I do not have any idea how they found me, a brand-new account LOL
It does sound like a bot. The name @Bitcoin_RT might mean Bitcoin_Retweet. There are more bots like these on twitter. The other day I tweeted something regarding linux using some hashtags and one of those bots retweeted my tweet. So it basically means there are certain hashtags which the bots keep monitoring and whenever a user tweets it, the bots retweets them.

Twitter should also ban images and links to protect people from being scammed. Selective censorship is not helpful when it comes to fighting against fraud: they shouldn't stop here. I am wondering how Jack Dorsey can be the proponent of bitcoin and, at the same time, be supportive of such measures? Double standards?

It must mean that Twitter intentionally does not scan profiles for BTC addresses, only tweets and maybe quote/retweets too. I don’t think they scan DMs, do they? on Twitter still needs human resources to check for these wrongdoing. It is clear that Twitter is still quite weak to ensure that scams are not present on their social media sites. Not only crypto, 18+ sensitive topics are rampant on Twitter and no one has yet handled those video clips ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) So don't trust any social media too much, check it carefully before you speculate on something. Even if it is a celebrity fundraising project or event, you need to verify it before making a deposit.

I was already tested and it was successfully tweeted the image that has a QR code and has a Bitcoin address above. Probably the bot will be detected in tweet post if you will manually type the random strings of letters and numbers that considered as a Bitcoin address. So, it might be the hack will happen again through posting image of QR code or Bitcoin address through images. Do you think this is a good decision for the Twitter team? I think that isn't, because the hack happened was because of their weak security level that called, social engineering attack. They shouldn't blame posting the Bitcoin address here nor improve their security level that never been hacked again.

You're still prohibited to tweet bitcoin addresses on the platform, though that workaround is pretty clever but surely wouldn't receive much attention. I just hate that Jack and co. thought that barring such content on the website would do the trick. Twitter used to be a social media site wherein you can get information pretty quickly on a certain topic yet they are slowly resorting to just suppress certain topics that they don't like, or that certain groups of people don't like, and it's pretty annoying. I guess they should also focus on Twitter's security to prevent verified accounts from getting accessed on different locations in a short span of time, but I guess censoring some things is a way easier fix. Not that I am against combatting schemes like the ones used on several high-profile accounts. I just dislike the way the fix is implemented. I was not aware about it. My recently created Twitter account: https://twitter.com/R777bttAnd you can see in the bio I have a BTC address. And this @Bitcoin_RT is a bot? They retweeted my tweet and I do not have any idea how they found me, a brand-new account LOL They use certain keywords to identify whether an account is connected to cryptocurrencies or not. I switched my personal profile strictly to not talk anything about cryptocurrencies since it's annoying that two or three bots would like and retweet what you tweeted just because the word "bitcoin" is in it.

I think twitter is disable when promoting your bitcoin refferral account and available if only tweet with your bitcoin address, maybe on your tweet have link connected with bitcoin exchange website and this make your tweet block, I always make tweet for my wallet ethereum or bitcoin address when joining airdrop project and is not block anymore. You should check back your tweet why is block and check detail did you submit website of crypto or not because if only tweet with bitcoin wallet address is available on twitter or facebook.

I don't know about this one, but they only banned bitcoin address? *does eth address included? I mean I see a lot of people posting their eth address in some giveaways of some influencers does it also included? if this thing it true maybe it will help to lessen some scams and fraud but it will never stops them. If people always patronize those easy winning and easy earning things t, banning some address in Twitter will not help, they can rather say that via dm send their address like that.

Find it an enormous bullshit on twitter side: shouldn't they also ban every FIAT currency tag / reference then because of all the scams happened with classic money? I can use a knife to murder someone or to spread Nutella on bread in the morning for breakfast : it's not the knife to blame. What surprises me most is twitter stance on the dichotomy Cryptocurrency/Classic financial System has always been in favour of cryptocurrency and their Ceo has been a long time BTC fan and recently stated Bitcoin and blockchain are the future.

Yeah it's creator made a cryptocurrency company in cashapp. And not to long ago they allowed the BTC symbol to be a usable emoji on their platform. So no to using bitcoin addresses is a strange 180.
