After several Twitter accounts were hacked last Wednesday, the social network Twitter decided to restrict and ban the publication of cryptocurrency addresses.

This comes as a natural reaction from Twitter against the backdrop of the recent hack in which the hacker published a bitcoin address to transfer bitcoins to.
