❗️The bitcoin/crypto community needs to have a discussion about Jack Dorsey and Twitter & their open censorship of dissenting opinions. This stands blatantly against what bitcoin stands for, censorship resistance.

Twitter wont change so we must reevaluate where we reside and stand against censorship.
