The micro-blogging service has since reinstated the account, but it remains unclear who is in control of it. So this is how free speech dies…with thunderous applause. Roger Ver, predictable given his staunch support for Bitcoin Cash, started crying free speech on Twitter.
Bitcoin Cash fans have since argued that the Twitter suspension was the result of a coordinated effort by Bitcoin supporters. Bitcoin engineer, Jameson also took this opportunity to remind Ver the actual meaning of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech means that the government won't throw you in a cage for saying something it doesn't condone. Freedom of speech doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want on someone else's property.
Following the suspension yesterday, the bitcoin handle ended up in the possession of an anonymous user with a picture of a jaguar. Judging by the tweets, the person was likely from Turkey. He managed t0 get more than 2, followers within an hour. Unfortunately, his 15 minutes of fame ended when Twitter decided to suspend the account again.
This random that took over the bitcoin account must think twitter is the coolest thing ever. He logs on and within an hour has followers, says hello and gets likes… pic. Shortly after the second suspension, Twitter restored the account once again — but seemingly to a different person. As of April 10, bitcoin seems to have again been restored to the BCH supporter it belonged to earlier. I'm back, jack pic. This piece inaccurately suggested Ver was in control of the bitcoin handle prior to the suspension.
