Hi nostriches,

How Many Bitcoiners Are Being Silenced Right Now?

We launched All in Bitcoin this January. Since then, we’ve been shadowbanned, suspended, and throttled, especially on X and YouTube. In March, after our suspension, we started a new account. And here we are again. Shadowbanned? Looks like it.

Grok says I shouldn’t post about this, that calling out censorship might trigger more of it. Maybe it’s right. But it makes me wonder:

How many small Bitcoin accounts are being silenced in 2025 without anyone even noticing?

A few weeks ago, I spoke out about Ben Perrin ( @BTC Sessions ). His YouTube (9 years of work) was nearly erased for the third time. Totally unfair. Thankfully, big accounts rallied and he got it back.

But what about the smaller voices?
The ones that vanish quietly. No outrage, no reinstatement. Just gone.

@Pierre Rochard told me in our interview: “In an ideal world, Elon Musk wouldn’t have acquired Twitter. It would’ve kept getting worse in terms of censorship, and more people would’ve moved to Nostr. But Elon did something virtuous… and that slowed Nostr’s growth.”

But is X really that free?

Everywhere I look: custodial Bitcoin, ETFs, MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, and treasury buys. But where are the posts about self-custody, freedom tech, and not selling your Bitcoin to buy more fiat? They’re buried. I know. I write them.


Nothing would make us happier than going full v4v. But would we just be preaching to the choir? Who would we really onboard to Bitcoin through NOSTR and Fountain?

So… what would you do?

But please don’t confuse silence with suppression.
Still here. Just harder to find.

Are x bitcoiners ever gone wake up and leave their walled garden and paper coins? Sometimes the nativity of great people baffles to no end. But it is what it is. They will come to their senses when their ready, and remember why we cherish censorship resistance.

I suspect the behind-the-scenes indicators and algorithms on X as well as YT get double-triggered when a new content creator is both “spreading freedom wrong-think” and gaining traction organically. Then their axe promptly falls. Their downfall will be just as organic and well-deserved as the fa...
