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.

  • Analyst: Bitcoin's recent surge may have given investors a false sense of security

    George Milling-Stanley, Chief Gold Strategist at Dow Jones Global Investment Management, believes that the recent surge in Bitcoin may give investors a false sense of security. Milling-Stanley stated, "Simply put, Bitcoin is an investment seeking returns, which suggests that investors are flocking to Bitcoin for capital gains, not because they see the value or use of Bitcoin." The launch of options based on spot Bitcoin ETFs last week may be related to this, as options allow investors to bet on the price volatility of Bitcoin with less cash instead of buying Bitcoin itself.

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin officially signs digital currency tax law

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law regulating the taxation of digital currencies. According to the law, digital currencies are recognized as property. This also applies to currencies used for foreign trade payments within the experimental legal framework (EPR) in the field of digital innovation. Mining and sales of digital currencies are exempt from value-added tax. Operators of mining infrastructure must report to the tax authorities issuing cryptocurrencies for using their services. Failure to submit such information on time may result in a fine of 40,000 rubles. In terms of personal income tax, digital currencies obtained through mining will be classified as physical income (usually used when goods or services are paid for instead of currency). The value of the income currency will be determined based on market quotes. Such income will be subject to progressive taxation, taking into account tax deductions for mining costs. At the same time, the acquisition, sale or other circulation of digital currencies will be subject to two-stage personal income tax rates (13% for income up to 2.4 million rubles, and 15% for income exceeding this amount). They will be included in the same tax base as securities, bank deposits, and other sources of transaction income. As for corporate income tax, digital currency mining will be subject to the standard tax rate (25% from 2025 onwards).
