CryptoQuant Founder Exposes Why X Is Silencing Real Users While Bots Run Wild

• A crypto founder reveals how bots trigger visibility limits for real users
• Millions of automated posts push X to restrict genuine crypto engagement
• Spam-driven algorithms reduce reach as crypto discussions face growing pressure

Crypto conversations on X are facing renewed pressure as visibility drops across accounts that once dominated daily engagement, drawing attention to growing concerns that automated spam now outweighs meaningful discussion within crypto-focused feeds. According to Ki Young Ju, the platform is restricting legitimate crypto content instead of confronting automated abuse, a view the CryptoQuant founder shared on X while pointing to data showing an unprecedented surge in bot-driven activity.

He cited figures showing more than 7.7 million posts containing the word crypto were generated in a single day, a spike representing an increase of over 1,200% from earlier levels and driven largely by automated accounts. Consequently, Ju argued that X’s algorithms responded by suppressing crypto-related posts across the board, an approach that reduced reach for real users while failing to stop bots from flooding timelines.

Moreover, Ju noted that advanced artificial intelligence has made automated posting easier and more scalable, while stressing that the real failure lies in X’s inability to distinguish human behavior from automated patterns. Additionally, he criticized the platform’s paid verification model, claiming it no longer acts as a quality filter as bots now pay to amplify spam while authentic users face reduced visibility.

Significantly, he described the situation as misguided, arguing that limiting crypto discussions avoids solving the technical problem and that stronger bot detection would protect engagement without targeting an entire user segment.

Product Leadership Pushes Back on Visibility Claims

At the same time, X’s internal leadership offered a different explanation for Crypto Twitter’s declining reach, with Nikita Bier pointing to excessive posting by crypto accounts as a key factor reducing exposure. He explained that many users exhaust daily reach limits by posting or replying too frequently, while repeated low-value replies consume visibility meant for substantive updates.

As a result, users often see limited exposure on important posts later in the day, since the average user only views a restricted number of posts within a 24-hour period. Hence, heavy posting dilutes engagement rather than strengthening it, leading Bier to argue that user behavior, not targeted suppression, drives visibility decline.

However, the explanation sparked disagreement within crypto circles on X, as several users insisted that crypto engagement remains a major driver of platform activity. Besides moderation debates, X continues to function as crypto’s primary real-time communication hub, where traders, developers, and analysts share market updates and onchain insights. Additionally, X has expanded features such as encrypted messaging and multimedia communication tools, developments that arrive as tensions grow between automation controls and organic crypto engagement.
