In the true spirit of automation djbooth007 just posted to IGotBitcoin.com that he has developed a bot to answer all of those curious tweets about Bitcoin. 


As with any automation there is the risk of false positives and spammy sounding tweets but aside from those risks it appears to be a great project ot educate the general population about the fundamentals of Bitcoin.  

Some examples of the explanations being pumped out are…
  • "Bitcoin is an invention that allows distributed consensus over a shared asset ledger without counter-party risk."
  • "Bitcoin is a digital currency, able to transmit value globally, instantly, securely, and is far more valuable than email."
  • "Think about Bitcoin as being a technology and a form of money. It is a currency and payment network."


One problem, as of posting of this article the account is susspended.  Does twitter hate Bitcoin or just spam?
