Although the problem is not the payment right? The issue is giving Elon access to a group of verified users and their data so he can make use of that and make even more money by selling/using it for ads.
Iβm blue checked on twitter. Legacy blue checked too, but who cares π
I pay in bitcoin (via a pre-paid visa card) and share minimal information that is widely known.
Iβve done this since they rolled out the service bar one month where I tried to work without it.
I am grateful for services like the Bitcoin Company that allow bitcoin-only people like me to use fiat rails.

Im not picking a fight. I want to demonstrate that journoβs and content creators can pay for twitter without doxxing π«‘
If and when twitter does ask for my govβt IDβ¦ well thatβs a different conversation!

Sure but Iβm verified as what? A credit card holder in Portugal?
From your credit card info, They know who you are, where you live and have real time location info. of where you are every time you log in. If some govt entity wants to arrest or silence you, it couldnβt be easier π
maybe re-read the post. I paid in bitcoin
And on top of that, verifies users will try and play by the rules or else loose their check and non-verified users are effectively shadow banned by default.
that's always been the case. if you're on twitter you play by the Twitter rules.
The new system of shadowbanning sucks and is very evident.
As "not a bot", that is enough for the time being
