That's what I thought. But I'm doing a twitter network analysis for crypto, so I'm trying to think of what to do for Bitcoin.

Do you mean sentiment analysis? What do you hope to use the results for?

If a coin has official twitter account it just means that it's a centralized shitcoin. You mentioned @ethereum - that's one example of it, it has completely centralized development which heavily relies on just few people and especially its founder Vitalik Buterin. Bitcoin is among very few coins, if not the only coin, which has no single leader and instead relies on hundreds of developers that are free to come and go, and all decisions are reached through consensus rather than being forced by a few people.

Unlike most of those other cryptos you are trying to compare bitcoin to. Bitcoin doesn't have an outright owner who controls it. Most of the altcoins you see have actual owners who go ahead to employ other workers for the project such as the Legal team, the sales team, social media team and all those other officers. Now this is totally different for Bitcoin. Most work such as development is done by volunteers.

I think It was what satoshi wanted. People who like Bitcoin will support and promote it minus expecting a salary in return. So it's a reason we don't see "official" website or social media accounts.

@To_The_Moon  Cheesy

I'm just kidding. There is no official twitter handle for Bitcoin, at least as far as I know, just as there is no official website for Bitcoin.

For those who are now starting to scream: "bitcoin.org!", here is a quote from the website in question:
Quote
Bitcoin.org is not Bitcoin's official website. Just like nobody owns the email technology, nobody owns the Bitcoin network. As such, nobody can speak with authority in the name of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin a community thing, so you will find that different community channels and websites related to Bitcoin are run by different individuals/admins.
There is this Twitter account - https://twitter.com/Bitcoin, But I think it's under the control of the same person behind https://bitcoin.org

yea that is a good candidate. I have been reading this article about the account: https://news.bitcoin.com/who-controls-the-bitcoin-twitter-account/

CoinGecko lists @btc, so that is another candidate.

I was just curious what are some other good candidates.

Most other cryptos now have an official twitter account -- (for example @ethereum is the official twitter account of the ethereum foundation, and so forth for most coins). What is the twitter account that best represents Bitcoin?
