Hey , your ethical stances were praised last week. Care to offer your two cents on the banning of free speech?

Sure. I think we, as a community, have shown that we will not tolerate bullies abusing the legal system as a means of shutting down dissenting opinions. Harassing and stealing from those who disagree with you is effectively a ban on free speech. Crypto is about open discourse.

If you are referring to the idea of Twitter shutting down an account, I think that generally, private companies ought to be able to refuse/provide service on a voluntary basis. If the question is about who owns "Bitcoin", I'd say nobody owns it, just like

Its not so much to silence the voices of people they disagree with, as it is to right the wrong voices.
Using handle to mainly shill an altcoin as if it was the real deal, shame on you!

Real question is why anybody would call their project "bitcoin" when they don't own the .com or the Twitter handle. Seems like a brand disaster in the making from the start. With a market cap of $90b+, you'd think Bitcoin would be able to buy the identities if they're important.

You'd have to ask the owner. It's the Twitter account + the .com. Of course, you can always gamble that you'll be able to acquire them later at a reasonable price but you take the risk that they'll be used by your competitors. At some point it's worth changing your name.

If anything was done, it should just be permanently shut down. There is no central voice of Bitcoin, so reassigning ownership has no real basis(like giving a Nike handle to the Nike company). Just turn it off and give it to no one.

They are being used for ideological reasons and to pump the price of a shitcoin. You honestly think they would just sell it?

Or maybe because the BTC chain got hijacked away from it's original purpose and bitcoin.com sees BCH as the legitimate heir to the original Bitcoin purposes - peer to peer electronic cash. I happen to agree with that.

Should gold "rebrand" because (hypothetically) a guy bought it early, who now works for a copper Co & markets copper as "the real gold". I think not. If "Bitcoin" is to buy to prevent mis-selling vs existing advertising standards rules, volunteers needed, there is no BTC company.
