Why did Fedmyster get banned on Twitch?

Twitch partner and former Offline TV member Federico "Fedmyster" Gaytan recently got banned from the platform. At this point, neither Twitch nor the streamer himself has said anything about the ban.

However, as per some reports, his account is being used for the bitcoin scam. The former OTV member's account was hacked and went live on stream earlier to promote what appeared to be a Bitcoin scam on his account. Naturally, for now, his account has been banned from the platform for safety reasons.

The news came as a massive shock to the streaming industry as he is one of the most prominent faces in the industry.

Why did Fedmyster get banned on Twitch for the second time?

Since the news went viral, a video has been making rounds on the internet. The stream also featured a video from "The B Word" Conference, where Musk was seen discussing Bitcoin briefly.

This was done to give the scam some extra credibility and make it look as authentic as possible. However, something worth noting here is that the podcast is over eight months old and has no relation to this whole matter.

In the old podcast, Elon Musk (Business Magnate and Billionaire) can be seen talking about bitcoins.

He notes:

"An operation which allows transfer effectively like a check would be an ach transfer but it's it's not secure and you have got the credit card system which are also not secure."

He added:

"It would be like handling your username and password to a stranger in a restaurant, if you buy a meal. so, there is definitely a opportunity for something that is better from an information theory standpoint. "
