Influential Bitcoin Critic Pledditor Disappears From X Amid Rally

HomeNews* Popular crypto skeptic Pledditor deleted their account and tweets from X (formerly Twitter).

• Account disappearance occurred amid a record-high price for Bitcoin.
• Pledditor was known for critical commentary on key leaders in the crypto sector.
• The departure sparked immediate reactions and speculation from the crypto community.
• Some reports suggest Pledditor may have switched to the Bitcoin-friendly platform Nostr. The X (formerly Twitter) account of Pledditor, a well-known figure in the Bitcoin social media community, was deleted earlier today. This event took place while Bitcoin reached its highest price to date.

• Advertisement - Pledditor was widely followed for posting skeptical opinions about high-profile crypto leaders and holding the industry accountable. The account provided daily criticism and pointed out discrepancies in promises made by major players in the crypto world. According to the original article, Pledditor had recently focused on critiquing Bitcoin treasury companies in the weeks leading up to today’s deletion.

There is currently no indication of an official suspension by X. Pledditor‘s profile does not display any notice of removal by the platform, making it most likely that the account holder decided to delete it personally. The loss of the account means that years of critical commentary are now unavailable for reference.

Reactions from the community were swift. Some commenters suggested the persistent push by treasury company leaders—such as Michael Saylor and David Bailey—drove Pledditor to leave the platform. Others took a lighter view, speculating that the recent Bitcoin rally may have enabled Pledditor to retire early.

Pledditor had been a vocal critic of industry executives including Brian Armstrong, Michael Saylor, David Bailey, Barry Silbert, and Paolo Ardoino. Posts that highlighted broken promises, support of alternative coins, or deviations from Bitcoin’s original goals often garnered hundreds of thousands of impressions.

In the past, Pledditor indicated the possibility of stepping away from social media. In the absence of the account and its tweets, followers will likely find it harder to access the user’s extensive record of public industry critique.

Some users have identified a potential new presence for Pledditor on Nostr, an alternative social network known for its focus on Bitcoin users. However, it is not yet confirmed if this new account is indeed controlled by Pledditor.
