Musk further added that the deletions would be obvious accounts that have no tweets or that haven\u2019t logged in for years.<\/p>\n<p>However, after Musk announced this plan, a great number of cryptocurrency proponents have grown concerned that Hal Finney\u2019s account would be among the purged names. Finney, who passed away in Aug. 2014, was the first to mention bitcoin in a tweet on the public forum.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a
