As another year draws to a close in the world of Bitcoin BTC and blockchain, weve decided to look back at some of our favorite cryptocurrency tweets of 2019.
Some are funny, others are weird, but weve loved each and every single one.
So, sit back, relax, …
The Dorsey effect
First up, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, sent a Bitcoin Lightning Network invoice in a tweet in February — and people went nuts.
Matt Odell@matt_odellYo @jack,
You ready to carry the torch? Send me an invoice for 2860000 sats.#LNtrustchain #bitcoin https://twitter.com/mysticonaut/status/1092583157591769088 …
Just KabirSUCCESS! @matt_odell, You should have the Torch!
After loads of learning, not least of which was an embarrassing oversight on my part switching of digits around, I know loads more about lightning, #bitcoin, community, and running my own node! Thanks everyone!

Dorsey has long been a supporter of Bitcoin and is often quite public about it.
He’s even shared his cryptocurrency plans with TNW.
Craig Wright won’t give up
What kind of roundup would this be if we didn’t at least allude to Craig Wright, the man who’s built a cryptocurrency patent empire and keeps claiming to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto?
It seems, he’s also intent on convincing everyone about how rich he is.
And if people don’t believe him, well, he just blames journalists.
Oxford Union✔@OxfordUnion
Craig Wright on why news reports don’t universally acknowledge him as the #Bitcoin creator #SatoshiNakamoto
‘Journalists are getting sloppy. There aren’t many good journalists anymore… Journalism isn’t what it was.’
Doesn’t this remind you of a certain orange-faced man living in a very big white house?
Luckily for us, Craig Wright is omnipresent.
Diana Biggs@DianacBiggsBroke down on the side of the road, thankfully this nice stranger helped me change my tire! He didnt give me any contact info but said his name was #Satoshi, please help me find him
He was everywhere.
Hard Fork | by TNW@HardForkCraig Wright says Hurricane Dorian stops him from challenging that pesky billion-dollar Bitcoin court order https://tnw.to/LAlHW
Craig Wright says Hurricane Dorian stops him from challenging that pesky Bitcoin court order worth…
He’s going to have to give up half his Bitcoin and half his intellectual property, and he needs another two weeks to come up with a reason why he shouldn’t.

EVERYWHERE!
Riccardo Spagni✔@fluffypony
CSW claims to have kissed Jim Morrison at a party in the 90s, despite him having died in 1971. https://twitter.com/StopAndDecrypt/status/988581087529046016 …
𝓑𝓲𝓽𝓬𝓸𝓲𝓷 𝓗𝓪𝓵𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰: 𝟴𝟴 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀Ever have the desire to sit through a Fake Satoshi presentation?
Have no fear, I’ve summarized it for you!@ProfFaustus hates #hoodeling.
Crypto is weird
The world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology can get pretty weird — and this is exactly what Agrawal is alluding to here.
Neeraj K. Agrawal@NeerajKA
But, let’s be honest, would you have it any other way?
Not impressed
The Winklevoss twins — aka Winklevii — who claim to own approximately 1-percent of all Bitcoin in circulation have worked hard this year.
Although they are clearly enthusiastic about the technology, it doesn’t mean everyone is. And if you don’t believe me, just check out this tweet:
Jesse Powell@jespow
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and if these peoples’ faces are anything to go by, it’s not looking good for Bitcoin.
I hate the bearer of bad news, but I doubt you’ll be able to buy your morning coffee with Bitcoin anytime soon.
Life’s simple pleasures
Bitcoin is often seen as a speculative tool with many buying the cryptocurrency enticed by the possibility of making some extra cash.
NekoZ@CryptoNekoZA few things I am going to do when $BTC hits all time highs again are:
– Buy property
– Buy fine watches
– Invest in more startups
What will you do with your gains?
sondak@sondakcool_Buy some ice cream everyday
Some dream of becoming cryptocurrency millionaires, others — and this speaks directly to our souls — just want to enjoy the simple life.
Facebook Libra
Admittedly, we’ve all spent way too much time writing about Facebook‘s ‘cryptocurrency‘ Libra, but the truth is: you seemed to care.
Nobody is talking about what the Facebook Libra coin really means.
It means your parents and grandparents are going to be asking you for help setting up their wallets. pic.twitter.com/yOPrPWBmCS

Capitalism is so beautiful.
You’re funny
On another note, Twitter proved cryptocurrency enthusiasts have been blessed with a good sense of humor.
And last but not least, did you know Bitcoin can fix a broken toilet?
Let this by our parting gift to you all — and here’s to another year of crazy cryptocurrency and blockchain chatter on Twitter!
