【BlockBeats】The crypto community on the X platform has recently erupted. The issue originated from Nikita Bier, a product manager at X and Solana advisor, who expressed the view that the crypto Twitter (CT) circle has been spreading a “lie” for the past half year—claiming that replying to hundreds of posts daily can achieve account growth.
However, Nikita Bier’s logic goes like this: every time you post, it consumes some of your influence for that day, and ordinary users only browse 20-30 posts per day, so the platform’s algorithm is fundamentally unable to show all of a user’s posts to their followers. What does this result in? A large number of crypto users expend all their influence on high-frequency replies like “gm,” and when they actually publish project announcements or valuable content, barely anyone sees it.
Nikita Bier was even more blunt—the decline of crypto Twitter is not because the algorithm has problems, but because the crypto community’s own behavioral patterns have problems. He used a rather extreme expression: “CT is dying from suicide.”
Once this was said, the crypto community was displeased. KALEO, co-founder of LedgArt, stepped up to refute, accusing Nikita Bier of not considering things from a user perspective, failing to support the growth of long-term active user groups, and attempting to suppress the crypto ecosystem on the X platform. KALEO even directly called for Nikita Bier to resign. Subsequently, Nikita Bier deleted the tweet.
This controversy actually reflects a deeper issue: there is tension between the platform’s traffic mechanism design and users’ actual needs. For the crypto community, high-frequency interaction is indeed a common way to build influence, but whether this method is truly efficient and how much efficiency is wasted are questions that clearly require further discussion. The dialogue between the platform and active users appears to be far from over.
