Twitter Kills Bitcoin Emoji Hashtag After Elon Musk Request
Elon Musk's Twitter has removed the special Bitcoin emoji tied to the hashtag "#Bitcoin" just as the Bitcoin 2024 conference begins. This move is part of a broader effort to distance the platform from what Musk called "special hashtags." The removal of the emoji has sparked speculation about Twitter's motives, with some suggesting it may be an attempt to monetize the feature.
