Messari CEO Regains Twitter Account After ‘Permanent Suspension’

Elon Musk’s Twitter seems to be doing the most and running on a mind of its own. Ryan Selkis, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the crypto market intelligence firm Messari confirmed that he was locked out of his Twitter account for up to 48 hours. Funnily, the system detected that he was impersonating himself and with this, the Messari CEO now believes that the blue app is set on a path of decline.

“I was suspended for allegedly impersonating myself, so I imagine that will be corrected. The team over [at Twitter] is relatively short-staffed given all the changes, so I don’t know if that’ll happen Monday or months from now,” Selkis said to Decrypt and also tweeted this on his secondary account.

At the time when the suspension was imposed, the system described it as permanent. However, on Sunday, the discrepancy was rectified and Selkis is now back with his 300,000 followers. 

“Looks like it’s working again,” he said “Good to be back to this hell on earth app I call home,” adding that the disruption was more of a simple/unfortunate error that has now been fixed.

Ryan Selkis Bemoans Twitter Decay

While Selkis expresses support for Twitter and its CEO’s ability to pass through this stress test phase and win in the long run, he has also made a clarion call for investments into decentralized competitors emphasizing that it is a crucial technology that the present time needs. 

In Selkis’ opinion, such rival decentralized social media would introduce a system where users have their intelligent property (IP) both in terms of socials and social graphs.

Messari CEO did not fail to acknowledge how censorship has worsened on Twitter since Musk acquired the social media app. There have been several phony Twitter accounts impersonating the crypto entrepreneur and according to Selkis, those accounts are yet to be taken down. Instead, his original account was blocked showing a sign of ‘decay’ in the app.

“I was basically suspended for no reason in terms of an actual violation,” he said. “That should be pretty disconcerting for a lot of folks, to think that at the drop of a hat you could lose your entire social presence, even if it’s not for a good reason.”
