The Twitter hacker used their admin access to post from the accounts of several politicians such as Joe Biden.
Once Joe got his account access back he tweeted this:
I don’t have Bitcoin, and I’ll never ask you to send me any.
But if you want to chip in to help make Donald Trump a one-term President, you can do that here.

Here Is The Problem
He can't now use Bitcoin as a method of fundraising even if he wanted to. Now this scam has occurred, normies will assume any future request to donate Bitcoin to his campaign is a scam, even if it's totally legit.
This isn't limited to Joe Biden. It spreads to all the other political candidates too.
Who is the biggest loser in this? The Bitcoin network, because it means one of it's potential use cases (frictionless crowd funding for politicians) doesn't get tapped.
Misdirected Attention
OK so people aren't going to use Bitcoin because it was used in this scam...
And how many people are going to stop using Twitter because it was used in this scam?
It looks to me as if all the celebrities that were affected by this have got their Twitter account access back and then carried on using it as if nothing happened.
