      Who says he isn’t with a personal/private account and uses the public persona twitter one for the reach. As shitty as twitter is its still the gravitational center for bursting news.

      He likely doesn’t want to get too involved with social media. Stuff easily consumes you. Twitter is just good to reach out to people, which is kinda bad that Twitter got that big.

      It’s a good question. Anyone have answers that aren’t so obviously wrong?

        Someone on twitter could ask him. “Unfortunately” I have no account anymore.

          Obviously not.

          If you’re saying this because Snowden said wait he said on Twitter, I’m sorry but I wouldn’t know. Not because I didn’t try to read the article, I did, but because my custom DNS flagged cointelegraph.com as being malignant and blocked it. True story.

          Edit: cointelegraph, not “cointelegram.”

            Cointelegraph might not be for someone who is very anti-crypto, but it’s a legit website with well researched articles, not a source of malware/scams/autogenerated spam.

            It’s a fearmongering website design to scare people into buying crypto.

            Their articles that aren’t about crypto get spammed to social media a lot. It’s to get traffic on their site and hope they can hook some.

              While I can’t recommend this site for general news, the article in question is pretty well written.
