I was not aware about it.
My recently created Twitter account: https://twitter.com/R777btt
And 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

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.

"Twitter is now restricting posts that contain cryptocurrency addresses" - https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/71876/twitter-crypto-address-posts

Someone on twitter pointing this out: https://twitter.com/wongmjane/status/1283621687582265344

So 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

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.

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.

Oh, yes. I forgot about this incident. that's ok, there were too many scams in those days using hack problem.
I am not sure, but is it feasible to prohibit the posting of QR codes? it's a little more complicated to catch BTC addresses from images.

Twitter has been trying to fight the crypto industry for a long time, but even they understand that this is the wrong decision.

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.


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 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.

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.
