Brazil’s Crypto Community Speaks Out About X Ban #CryptoNewss
Júnior Sperandio, an XRP community member and YouTuber in Brazil, also expressed his frustrations, explaining that X was his primary source of information.
“I educate Brazilians about digital assets, and X was my main source of information,” Sperandio said. “I also followed the entire XRP and Ripple community on X.”
Similarly, Christiano Silva, a digital asset researcher, mentioned that the ban has severely disrupted his ability to gather real-time updates.
“X was a central hub for professionals and enthusiasts in the financial sector. The platform’s ban has significantly impacted my work,” Silva noted.
Both Sperandio and Silva believe the loss of X has set back Brazil’s crypto community by limiting access to essential information, particularly at a time when regulatory developments are accelerating.
Will X Get Reinstated In Brazil?
Unfortunately, it may take some time before X is reinstated in Brazil. Just recently Brazil’s Attorney General’s Office (PGR) urged the country’s Supreme Court to dismiss legal actions challenging the ban on X.
The PGR argued that suspending Elon Musk’s social media platform does not violate free speech rights. It was also stressed that the lawsuits against the ban lack legal grounds.
Silva pointed out that the social media platform’s return to Brazil is directly tied to institutional parameters, particularly politics.
“Since we don’t have access to this information, it’s impossible to say how long it will take for X to become available to the Brazilian public again,” he said. “However, in my opinion, I believe this process will take some time due to the issues that led to the platform’s suspension, which remains unresolved at this point.”
Decentralized Social Media Alternatives
In the absence of X, many Brazilian crypto enthusiasts have turned to decentralized social media platforms for updates.
One such platform is Farcaster, a decentralized social media protocol launched in 2020.
