@Bitcoin Twitter Account Now Promoting Bitcoin Cash

The @Bitcoin Twitter handle was claimed in August 2011, however, recently there has been a significant change in the focus of its tweets. During 2017, many of the @Bitcoin tweets were simply retweets of @CoinDesk updates on the Bitcoin (BTC) price. Starting January 3, 2018, the account became much more active, with a strong emphasis on Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

This promotion of Bitcoin Cash has led some to conclude that @Bitcoin has been sold or hacked, and is now controlled by Bitcoin.com or somone involved with the site — an accusation that has been denied. Whatever the case, there is no doubt that @Bitcoin is now being used to push the idea that Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin. And with nearly 700,000 followers, this false message will be spread far and wide.
