A new -100 followers tweet from me but fuck them:

One of the main problems for crypto is X itself.

The platform has turned into a giant contamination zone where scams, lies and synthetic hype spread faster than anything resembling truth.

Verified studies from MIT and EU DisinfoLab show that misinformation on X travels about six times faster than facts and automated networks dominate a huge portion of political and financial traffic.

In crypto this ecosystem is even more rotten.

Chainalysis and ScamSniffer report that over seventy percent of large scale crypto scam operations now originate on X.

Pump groups use industrial sized bot farms to force worthless tokens into the trending section.

Entire meme coins are manufactured from nothing but paid impressions and fake engagement.

Bot clusters create thousands of fabricated likes and comments in minutes to imitate legitimacy and trap real users.

X has reduced the idea of free speech to a marketing costume.

Outrage dominates, truth is irrelevant and science gets drowned by fantasies engineered to provoke clicks.

The moment something conflicts with the owner or his circle it suddenly becomes invisible.

After gutting the trust and safety teams the platform became an open playground for scammers, manipulators, organised disinformation groups and state sponsored propaganda machines.

The result is a filthy swamp of lies, artificial hype, psychological manipulation and coordinated deceit.

And this swamp is where the majority of global crypto communication happens.

No wonder the entire space has collapsed into a shithole.

X is not just part of the problem. X is one of the main reasons the industry is infested with fraud and why propaganda spreads so effectively here.

If there is solid proof that certain accounts exist only to scam people, closing them should be the easiest and most obvious step.

That has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Fraud is not speech. Running an account with the intention to deceive, steal or manipulate is a criminal act, not an opinion.

And then you see these scammer/ drainer accounts wondering why retail doesn’t show up and doesn’t stick around. https://t.co/omoCXRHiuG
