As of Sunday, April the 8th, the infamously free-spirited Bitcoin handle @Bitcoin has been reprimanded by Twitter, the social media giant suspending its account indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>The account has long been renown for its pro-Bitcoin Cash stance, being blasted by Bitcoin advocates on numerous occasions for defaming its more popular predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>A delighted <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/charlie-lee-inventor-litecoin\/\">Charlie Lee<\/a> quickly trumpeted the news of the closure, along with some equally-enthused community members.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Oh snap! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bitcoin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bitcoin<\/a> \ud83d\ude02 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yGcIcioxC6\">pic.twitter.com\/yGcIcioxC6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Charlie Lee \u24c2\ufe0f\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@SatoshiLite) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SatoshiLite\/status\/982879415532011520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 8, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Twitter accounts may be suspended for suspicions of impersonation, spamming, or abuse; @Bitcoin is arguably guilty of all but the latter.\u00a0While Twitter did not specify the reason for the ban, it comes following a string of complaints from the platform's users- invariably for its covertly pro-Bitcoin Cash agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The suspension highlights the remarkably strained relationship between <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> and its errant lovechild, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin-cash\/\">Bitcoin Cash (BCH)<\/a>. The two protocols have amassed cult-like followings, of which both appear to believe only one can survive in the race for scalability.<\/p>\n<p>At the center of the controversy lies Roger Ver, a.k.a. &#8216;Bitcoin Jesus', who's pro-BCH stance is no secret in an increasingly divided competition. Once one of the most influential proponents of Bitcoin, Ver has steadily become a vocal critic of Bitcoin's costly, slow transactions- instead of pointing to BCH as the superior cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m sure that formula will continue to work for BCH into the future, and it will surpass BTC in usage, popularity, and market cap in the near future.- Roger Ver<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ver's conspiratorial position is that the BTC core team have sabotaged the original blockchain by deliberately retarding the growth of block size- preventing the network from experiencing faster, more affordable transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Bitcoin advocates have met these mostly unsubstantiated claims with vitriol, accusing Ver of spreading anti-BTC propaganda for his financial gain; with the serial entrepreneur having a dubious relationship with both BTC and BCH.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Ver quickly pitched in to lament the loss of the controversial account, heralding the loss of &#8220;free speech.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So this is how free speech dies&#8230;with thunderous applause.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bitcoin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bitcoin<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TMZc0EWoIx\">https:\/\/t.co\/TMZc0EWoIx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Roger Ver (@rogerkver) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rogerkver\/status\/982964459663646720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 8, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While Ver lamented the account's closure, a bulk of community members met the news with joy, going as far to suggest Ver himself was behind the outlawed @Bitcoin account.<\/p>\n<p>A Twitter poll quickly surfaced shortly after Twitter's decree, a pointed show of support for Bitcoin; poll results numbers are affirming the public's favor towards the original P2P cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I just realized Roger won&#39;t block me now for asking a simple poll!<\/p>\n<p>Which one do you like better?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ?
