Today's crypto news highlights a strong criticism from Ki Young Ju, founder of CryptoQuant, directed at X for restricting crypto-related content while failing to address bot spam. Data reveals more than 7.7 million daily posts containing the keyword "crypto," as Ki Young Ju argues that X is unable to distinguish real users from bots. X's product lead, Nikita Bier, attributed the reduced visibility to low-value posts such as repeated "gm" messages. Ki Young Ju called X's strategy of banning crypto content instead of improving bot detection "absurd."

Odaily Planet News: Ki Young Ju, founder of CryptoQuant, stated that the X platform is suppressing the influence of posts related to cryptocurrencies, yet has failed to curb the surge in automated spam, effectively punishing legitimate users. Data shows a surge in automated activities related to the keyword "crypto," generating over 7.7 million posts in a single day. Ki Young Ju pointed out that X is unable to distinguish between automated accounts and real user accounts, and its paid verification system has become a mass messaging tool for bots.

Nikita Bier, a product lead at X, stated that part of the visibility issue within the crypto community stems from users over-posting low-value content, such as repeatedly sending "gm," which dilutes the daily reach of accounts. In response to this comment, Ki Young Ju said it was absurd for X to prefer banning crypto-related content rather than improving bot detection. Currently, X remains a primary hub for real-time communication within the crypto industry.
