Particularly, StopAndDecryt commented:

“Off-topic meta-discussion that incites or baits further off-topic discussion (intentionally or unintentionally) is off-topic”.

Moreover, Roger Ver does not agree with the decision and thus he had stated `that,

“/r/Bitcoin is completely censores and has been for nearly 3 years now”.

Infact, it seems to be that /r/Bitcoin mods was imposing a ban on users on a daily routine. It’s ought to be that users publish a post or make a comment which is not acceptable by the mods’ opinions. Since, if the topic is mainly focusing on other cryptocurrencies. However, such users are ban for temporally or sometimes permanently.
