Why are so many so desperate to believe this immense hydra of a conspiracy theory?

If Putin is behind mass propaganda, the Kremlin's gas-lighting approach explicitly involves supporting extremist groups across the political spectrum in order to disrupt opposition forces. One would expect more left-leaning propaganda, because planting propaganda serves to fracture the movement from within, demonize it in the eyes of the extreme opponents, and undermine the legitimacy of the communication medium. Go read Dugin's playbook, or the numerous English translations/analysis.
Example: Why was Jill Stein photographed sitting at the same table as Flynn and Putin? Because it delegitimized the native Russia Green Party, and builds a narrative that drives a wedge between the Green and Democrat progressive groups.

This appears to be a confirmation code. I don't think it has to be for a bitcoin account. It could be for anything personal or government related. Perhaps they require him to reset his government passwords at a regular interval.
He's probably pasting what he thinks is the tweet he just wrote into Twitter and hitting send before realizing he pasted the confirmation code he copied and pasted earlier. It's most likely timed out and harmless by the time he sends it.
