Crypto market sentiment improved at the start of the week and Bitcoin price remained above $7,000, after it took a beating over the past several days. Morale was boosted by news that two Wall Street giants George Soros and the Rockefeller family backed venture capital firm are eyeing cryptocurrencies and blockchain. In other news, a Twitter handle @Bitcoin, which was posting tweets favouring Bitcoin cash has been suspended. Crypto exchange Coinbase is trying to get registered with the US Securities watchdog. And Salesforce is apparently planning a blockchain product.

Here is a wrap of the main news from the cryptocurrency and blockchain space over the past few hours.

Twitter Account @Bitcoin That Promotes Bitcoin Cash Suspended

Twitter handle @Bitcoin, which is said to promote Bitcoin Cash (BCH), has been suspended and subsequently deleted, reportedly following users’ complaints. A post on sub-Reddit /r/Bitcoin said, “Twitter has finally suspended the compromised ‘@Bitcoin’ account.” According to Roger Ver, a crypto entrepreneur and major proponent of Bitcoin Cash, the suspension of the account is the death of free speech. As per reports, Twitter’s decision was after a large number of complaints from Twitter users, who could be Bitcoin supporters.
