The Suspension comes after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey endorses Bitcoin
Various crypto community members converge on what’s become recognized as “Crypto Twitter,” though space suffers from a high volume of scammers. Users such as @KoroushAK have many clone accounts that strive to extract crypto assets from other users. Twitter is infamous for unexpected account suspensions in various nations, although most of the time, those moves occur due to political disputes.
The suspension of these crypto influencer accounts is doubtful given Jack Dorsey’s endorsement of Bitcoin. Recently, he placed his first-ever tweet for sale as an NFT. Bidding is at $2.5 million with 11 days to conclude. Dorsey advocated that the funds would be transformed to Bitcoin and sent to GiveDirectly Africa Response. Dorsey, who also operates Bitcoin payments company Square, has been essentially concentrated on employing crypto to help Africa.
