Elon Musk’s Twitter Lifts Ban From Over a Dozen Dogecoin-Tweeting Accounts

Twitter boss Elon Musk has been working enough to bring some Twitter accounts back to life, which he thinks were unfairly banned by the previous Twitter administration. More than a dozen Dogecoin tweeting accounts were brought to life over the last weekend.

Sharing his concern about the banned accounts, dogecoin founder Billy Markus tweeted:

“A whole bunch of accounts of people who, as far as i know, generally don’t do anything but tweet memes and positivity are being suspended. Pretty weird man.”

Elon Musk was quick to respond stating that he’s looking into the matter. In an update a few hours later, Musk said that the previous team was a bit aggressive in suggestions for spam bot accounts. “Team was a bit too intense with spam/bot suspensions. Moving to chill mode,” noted Musk.

The Dogecoin founder has confirmed that several accounts have come to life once again. “Welcome back doge accounts. ty @elonmusk,” added Markus.

Dogecoin Payments on Twitter

Elon Musk has once again hinted at getting Dogecoin payments to Twitter without saying anything specific about the timeline of launch. During a Twitter Spaces last Saturday, Musk was asked whether he would bring crypto payments to Twitter. Responding to it, Musk said: “dogecoin to the Moon”.

Elon Musk’s recent hint has helped the DOGE price to rally over the last weekend. As of press time, DOGE is trading above $0.10 with 12% gains over the last week.

Dogecoin has been in the news recently, especially over the last month after Elon Musk completed his Twitter acquisition. The DOGE community is celebrating that with Musk at Twitter’s helm of affairs, they might soon see DOGE payments on the platform.

Over the last two weeks, the DOGE price rally has overshadowed gains by some of the top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether. However, on-chain data provider Santiment said that investors need to maintain caution. It added:

“Every time that [the] price of DOGE starts rising rapidly, there’s a market-wide crash following just moments later. Right now, we are observing such a rise. Now the question is, is this time different?”

Interestingly, OpenAI chatbot ChatGPT thinks that Dogecoin is a valuable and legitimate asset in the financial world.

  • a16zcrypto Policy Chief Criticizes Illinois Cryptocurrency Tax Law: Tax Logic is Absurd and Violates Multiple Federal Laws

    On June 17, Miles Jennings, the policy chief of a16zcrypto, stated that the digital asset tax law signed by the Governor of Illinois is one of the most restrictive regulations on cryptocurrency in the United States. The law imposes taxes on the exchange, transfer, and custody of digital assets: buying Bitcoin incurs a tax; storing Bitcoin on Coinbase also incurs a tax, and so on. Across the United States, there are virtually no similar financial transaction taxes on stocks, bonds, or derivatives. This means that cryptocurrencies are being treated differently, which violates multiple federal laws. Furthermore, the logic behind this taxation is nonsensical: transactions involving paper certificates of stocks, bonds, and derivatives are not taxed, yet transactions recorded on a blockchain are taxed simply because of their format? This is akin to taxing emails. Illinois could have embraced blockchain innovation and enjoyed the cost advantages it brings to the general public; however, the state is instead preparing to penalize local entrepreneurs and ordinary residents who use cryptocurrency. It is truly regrettable. Just recently, Illinois introduced a reasonably scoped Digital Assets and Consumer Protection Act, demonstrating a positive and inclusive attitude towards blockchain technology. Yet, with this new tax policy, the attitude has taken a complete 180-degree turn. If states implement such discriminatory taxes that target only a single asset class, industry developers and ordinary users will migrate to other regions, ultimately resulting in losses for everyone.
