The Brief Absence of Pomp
On February 13, as the clock ticked towards 19:30 UTC, the crypto world held its collective breath when Anthony Pompliano, affectionately known as “Pomp”, found his Twitter account suspended. Fear not, folks! He wasn’t gone for too long—by 4:28 PM EST (or 19:28 UTC for the true fans), he was back, tweeting like he never left.
Social Media Shenanigans
What raised eyebrows during this little adventure? Pompliano’s penchant for self-promotion. Just hours before, he was using a viral tweet involving Mike Bloomberg (yes, the Presidential hopeful) to promote his own podcast. This could be Twitter simply saying, “Hey, chill out with the marketing in the middle of political drama!” Or perhaps they feared he was selling tinfoil hats—who can say?
Hashtag Hilarity
His return tweet included a cheeky hashtag #FreePomp, along with a link to the music video of Mase’s “Welcome Back”. It’s as if he was throwing a digital party just for coming back to the social media realm!
Pomp’s Bitcoin Predictions
For the uninitiated, Pompliano is not just a social media fixture; he’s a crypto evangelist. Earlier that same week, he boldly predicted Bitcoin (BTC) would soar to $100,000. One has to wonder, did the brief suspension rattle his bullish confidence?
Twitter’s History with Crypto
As we look back, Pompliano’s hiccup only adds to Twitter’s rocky relationship with crypto. Remember back in 2018 when they banned crypto advertising? It seems the line between promotion and moderation is very thin on the platform.
Conclusion
While Pompliano’s suspension sparked speculation and concern, it’s clear he’s back in action, ready to push the crypto narrative. Whether he’s dodging bans or predicting market rises, one thing remains certain: the crypto community is watching with bated breath. Will he hit that $100K mark? Stay tuned!
