Then they would have just posted a credible sounding message instead of an obviously shady looking link.

Saying, “My advisory team studied safest crypto currencies. We are considering making Bitcoin as official digital currency of India”, would have worked better.

Or “From X:Ypm we are making Bitcoin India’s only and official currency”. Given his track record I might have beloved it.

I think it was what happened - chasing dog getting the car.

Don't expect the crypto fanatics of Twitter hacks to exercise discretion. Remember the 2020 doubling scam [1]? Hundreds of high profile accounts hijacked and the best they could do is the most ancient trick in the book.

I have to wonder what the combined effect of all these scams is on the BTC price. It can't be good for public opinion for Bitcoin to be "that thing that hackers and scam artists keep promoting on twitter".
