Solana memecoins have surpassed everyones expectations. It will make them the alternative way to deal with these type of coins since the only way had been to use the ethereum network.
But as many had experienced the high gas fees were making them un-usable.
Hundreds of dollars to send an altcoin with no utility such as a dog inspired coin doesn't make much sense.

Think Solana has reached $190 on the news about such projects in the memecoin space having exploded such as BONK, WIF and even Shiba Inu in the past week.

So let this new blockchain infrastructure have the memecoins and NFT space instead of the Bitcoin network with those inscriptions clogging up the bitcoin blockchain.

That's intriguing. Well, I think he had been a supporter of that memecoin which is why he would respond like that. If ever he have more of those in his stash, then I believe he will be happy to boost it more with his cryptic messages. Grin
This will also boost the number of supporters for his projects and who would not like that for a business.

Memecoins became one of the hottest in todays market. Another news came out regarding that.
Franklin Templeton Releases New Report For Memecoins, The Hot Area Of The Market – There Is a Solana Detail

https://en.bitcoinsistemi.com/franklin-templeton-releases-new-report-for-memecoins-the-hot-area-of-the-market-there-is-a-solana-detail/?fbclid=IwAR1e-r5sPKnsiBzPkJ7T6qkUCoMSLUZoK--SrFFTdheDIc3xgWhxaaH2ONk
Quote
“We believe Memecoins have a strong relationship with their native networks,” the report states. He also notes that in the fourth quarter of last year, the Solana network captured a significant percentage of activity across all active addresses, which coincided with the price increase on BONK.

Maybe that answer of Elon Musk has something to do with this? He hyped the memecoin market again.

Musk was asked at a Tesla meeting in Germany if they would ever allow a car to be purchased with Dogecoin.
Here was his response to this a couple of days ago:

Full article on how this would affect the company if they did. But since the tweet was released it caused the surge of the altcoin's price to increase by 10% alone on the news:

On a featured story for Wired this week he states he will be giving his truth seeking for free.
So shouldn't the new iteration of AI be free and opened to the masses?
https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-no-choice-open-chatbot-grok

Like the post he made on X on how OpenAI is a lie:

Musk apparently is going after Open AI's CEO for abandoning the company's original goal while it was still a startup.
https://www.reuters.com/legal/elon-musk-sues-openai-ceo-sam-altman-breach-contract-2024-03-01/

Could this due to Elon starting up his own A.I company Grok last year?
Could be.
Elon Musk makes Grok AI open source amid ongoing OpenAI lawsuit
https://cointelegraph.com/news/elon-musk-open-source-grok-ai?fbclid=IwAR2a0BmA-y3-Ywg2G6Seu6woSgeiEqK27HhOgRkBkZ_AJOdpO6C9SXc6uVY


Quote
Like OpenAI’s ChatGPT bot, Grok is an AI chatbot developed by Musk’s company, xAI. Unlike ChatGPT, however, Grok can access real-time information via the X social media platform and answer more hot-button questions that some other AI systems reject.

Quote
Musk’s decision to make Grok open source aligns with his requests in his lawsuit against OpenAI to advance open-source AGI for the “benefit of humanity.”

"Benefit of Humanity". I highly doubt that. Cheesy There's always a benefit for humanity but the priority was always the benefit of the wallets. I just don't like how the sudden thought of making an AI came out after attacking the old one who had been in the trend for now.
I think this is also to boost the number of X (formerly Twitter) users. Why? Because accessing the xAI would need an account in X.
Quote
To access the chatbot, users must have a verified X account. According to some comparisons, Grok AI, which is powered by the Grok-1 large language model, surpasses ChatGPT-3.5 but doesn’t perform as well as OpenAi’s ChatGPT-4 model.

Buffett and Musk discuss about what the True Currency is and it could be bitcoin with the recent swings it has had since Monday.

Like how he eludes to time as the currency. This could mean a certain selection for his platform's payment system they have been developing and delaying to finally name.

With AI advancing at an alarming rate I would bet a million many have not heard of the next iteration of Musk's invention grok. Groq which has peaked the interest of those who have been following the next innovation towards the race to become the best in the industry:

There was a time I made a post on this platform explaining how I see a time coming when Elon Musk will be making an effort to dominate the crypto world which will keep his wealth measured higher. Unfortunately, moderators of this platform deleted the post. Today it is coming to pass.
If its in the right section of the forum then I doubt it will be deleted.

About Elon Musk. I think the big question would be if he made an impact on the cryptocurrency industry. He made a lot of ruckus buying $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, and then next to it is boosting Dogecoin.
So I guess he did made an impact in a different way. On social media especially, because those who haven't got a clue about it was suddenly introduced and maybe those who are pessimistic about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies changed their mind thanks to him.
The impact was seen at how Bitcoin rose to 5 digits in value because the demand suddenly sky rocketed and no one really expected it to be that fast.
He can definitely make a market swing thanks to his followers and connections.

Is he using crypto for attention of his product? I think he is. And now even X (formerly Twitter) is also reaping those rewards.

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge. Cheesy
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

Neuralink a company the Tesla CEO owns had successfully implanted a chip inside a human test subject.
So far they were stable and doing well last I heard.
This was done to help with those who have had their physical motor skill functions impaired inorder to regain mobility again.
It of course can have other applications.
Paired with something such as the Apple Vision Pro and you have something resembling an early renditions of cyborg technology.
Instead of people using their Vision Pros as a very expensive way of trading cryptocurrenies in a virtual environment.
Elon can finally bring a Doge nft to life virtually.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/technology/2024/jan/30/elon-musk-tesla-pay-package-too-much-judge-rules

Today's surge in the price of bitcoin caught everyone who had been watching the price for the past two weeks since the spot ETF was approved certainly off-guard.

This could be due to the accummlation of particular headlines in the past 24 hours.
The one included I believe did this aswell would be this one:
https://decrypt.co/214314/elon-musk-tesla-holds-387-million-in-bitcoin

Plus the talk of X payments possibility of introducing an unnamed coin could also have bitcoin as a candidate during the approval process.

You can't say these two didn't help in the confidence level of bitcoin so to have the 5% increase in it's price in the past 24 hours.

Some advancement on the X platform's way on online payments which many are seeking which cryptocurrency, if any, will the owner of X chooses:
https://cryptonews.com/news/elon-musks-x-payments-feature-sparks-speculation-among-crypto-enthusiasts.htm

An x post speculates on which cryptocurrenies begin with the letter X would be chosen but they could just come up with their own currency for use as the payment of choice once released on the platform in the middle of the year:

The stories never stop about Elon and his adventures within the cryptocurrency space.
It is like Wonka in the Cryptofactory.

As this next one will shock even the most experienced trader of the cryptocurrency markets!

Many already know about this tweet put out by musk at the beginning of the year:
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1744528285273321825

As it was news worthy to have it featured on Business Today and the Economic Times publications:
https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/elon-musk-changes-x-bio-to-chief-troll-officer-new-location-trollheim-412570-2024-01-10
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/elon-musk-declares-himself-chief-troll-officer-updates-his-bio-on-x/articleshow/106655111.cms?from=mdr

So someone actually ran with this and created a memecoin called TROLL in lieu of the change in title on his X profile.

"Memecoin trader briefly becomes millionaire off throwaway Elon Musk X gag.
A crypto trader turned $10,000 into $1.3 million with a well-timed purchase of the TROLL token after Elon Musk updated his bio to “Chief Troll Officer” on X."

Elon took to an X spaces invite from one of those Bitcoin Spot ETF companies CEOs in Cathie Wood from Ark Invest a few days ago.
So here is the interview which was done right after the ETF was approved and what Elon thinks of Bitcoin now that it is accepted by the financial institutions of Wall Street and if he will allow it to be a form of payment on his platform:

Elon Musk BRUTALLY Honest About BITCOIN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbBT4UISc1o

This was done by a former Tesla employee Farzad Mesbahi as he runs a podcast.
Here is the information about this person who still believes in Tesla and what they are doing since he currently holds their stock.
"I worked at Tesla starting in July of 2017 as an Operations Analyst out of the Bethlehem, PA distribution center facility and left as a Program Manager based out of Austin, TX as of September 2021. I spent most of my time in the distribution and supply chain organizations.
Before Tesla, I was a Director of Business Intelligence and Pricing at the largest Pet Food & Supply distributor in the US, Phillips Pet Food & Supplies based out of Easton, PA. My wife and I also owned a small business in Bethlehem, PA between 2016 and 2019.
I have been a shareholder of Tesla since 2012 and currently own Tesla stock.
My thoughts are my own and are not representative of everyone who currently works, or has worked at Tesla."
