Headline, award-winning crypto influencer deletes X account after bot accusations, published at 709 p.m. September 17, 2024 on protos.com. The winner of the best content creator award at a crypto event in Singapore has deleted his X formerly Twitter account after being accused of using bots to manipulate his social metrics. Professor crypto collected his key opinion leader, KOL award yesterday evening at one of token 2049's side events, DeGen Summit. He then shared this success on X.

Professor crypto deleted his X account shortly after wiping a number of posts related to his KOL win. He also hid dozens of posts from users claiming that they don't follow anyone who is following Professor crypto or even know who he is.

Another user, Newsy Johnson, also noted they have zero mutuals with Professor Crypto despite following over 1,100 accounts and having almost 20,000 followers. Newsy Johnson claimed Professor Crypto has bots following, liking, and commenting on his content. They said, "I don't think he has any human following." Subheading.
