In an interesting twist of events, Twitter, the social media platform spearheaded by Jack Dorsey, one of Bitcoin’s most influential proponents, has now suspended some major cryptocurrency-related accounts.
- Twitter has suspended numerous accounts that are related to cryptocurrencies.
- Some of the most popular ones include those of PlanB, the creator of the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Model, Willy Woo, one of the most influential Bitcoin and crypto analysts, as well as Carl ‘The Moon’ Runefelt – an influential trader and crypto proponent.

- Others include the account of the self-proclaimed WSB Chairman, as well as that of well-known influencer Koroush AK.
- At the time of this writing, there’s no information as to why those accounts are being suspended.
- As a precaution against this, other influencers are now beginning to turn their account settings to private.
- Speaking on the matter was Loma, a cryptocurrency trader with over 100,000 followers, who said that his account is now private “cause Twitter bots and mass reporters (?)”
- This isn’t the first time a centralized content-sharing platform has censored crypto-related accounts for no apparent reason.
- Last year, YouTube was doing the same thing, suspending accounts and shadow-banning Bitcoin-related videos.
- This comes as somewhat of a surprise, though, because Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, is well-known for being one of Bitcoin’s most influential proponents.
