What's the point?
I read some reports from Bitcoin Mining Council and Bitcoin mining has good proportion of renewable energy consumption. I remember it already is higher than 50% that is not only reached recently.
In Q1 2022, the report from BMC already shows it is more than 50%, that is 58%.

@Nwada001. Similar to what I have said yesterday, everything about dogecoin might begin in X. Elon appears to have a bigger agenda for dogecoin in his ecosystem of businesses.
This speculation will be confirmed if the dogecoin development team agrees to the proposal to switch from proof of work to proof of stake.
X is a dog & Doge friendly place!

I'm glad you used "might," which means there is no affirmation whatsoever. There are many theories and propaganda online, and even if a reputable online personality proves this, I will still not believe it unless Elon Musk himself comes out to verify it. Personally, I don't think Elon Musk has anything to do with the Dogecoin project, he only saw an opportunity and keyed into it.This speculation will be confirmed if the dogecoin development team agrees to the proposal to switch from proof of work to proof of stake.

And of course, if a man as wealthy as himself could support a project in its early stage like that, there is no way it will not pump.

@Fara Chan He has been known as The DogeFather for years now so it is a given he has a soft place in his heart for the beloved original meme coin!
He is also looking for ways to make bitcoin more attractive to corporate entities as well:

Musk has been trying to come up with new ways to make X more appealing to those corporate council members with bringing a little innovation to the platform so to keep it a bit more fresh than his competitors
https://twitter.com/hashtag/brandedfeatures?src=hashtag_click
Next we can only hope for something more useful then just smoke and mirrors.
Such as a cryptocurrency wallet inwhich telegram has implemented into their own application recently.
And yes, it does include BTC !

After Elon Musk's biography was released earlier this week it was found he had secretly been funding doge coin so you can guess which coin he would probably be picking when he allows cryptocurrency transfers on his platform.
Currently in the works with some posts of code to a cryptocurrency wallet they have been creating and have been slowly getting approval state by state to have a currency processor license.
It is not surprising with news like this now because in the past two years Elon Musk was often associated with Dogecoin. And even as Dogecoin experiences a huge pump in 2021, besides that, I also wouldn't guess what cryptocurrency he will accept for his platform at this point. But from this news it can also be concluded that there is a full possibility for Elon Musk to accept Dogecoin into his platform when it is very possible for him to do so.Currently in the works with some posts of code to a cryptocurrency wallet they have been creating and have been slowly getting approval state by state to have a currency processor license.

Also it has been revealed that Elon has been a developer of his beloved cryptocurrency dogecoin.
In fact, this has been worth mentioning for a long time because it is very clear that Elon Musk quite likes and cares about Dogecoin, so he has tweeted a lot about Dogecoin in the past. However, Elon Musk also doesn't hate Bitcoin because he really understands and knows that Bitcoin is more than anything even though he has been a Dogecoin developer. September 14, 2023, 06:22:45 PM

X platform seems to be wanting more features added so to compete with the all in one app WeChat that is offered in China.
"Video & audio calls coming to X:

- No phone number needed
- X is the effective global address book
That set of factors is unique."

Since X has implemented content creator ad revenue sharing last month it was inevitable they were going to need a payment structure for how they were going to pay those users.
https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/13/twitter-starts-sharing-ad-revenue-with-verified-creators
So the obvious choice was going to be cryptocurrency payments with the simplicity of dealing with multiple transactions all at once.
"Notably, Rhode Island approved a requested license by Twitter Payments LLC — X’s payment branch — on August 28, according to data from NMLS. The “Currency Transmitter” license also includes different crypto-related service providers, such as crypto exchanges, wallets, and payment processors."

I didn't notice the news but the truth is that Elon has already created alot of name around himself and with that been, we all know he owns tesla and if diving into cryptocurrency will help boost his name and business then I don't see any reasons to fight that.
On the other hand, I've seen musk as a very funny guy and it I've always enjoyed his contents and I was considering following his crypto speculations but I didn't because there was no finance and I didn't because he was never serious and the next second you might just see the coin he favour just dumping and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.
I think Elon is in to make profits and since his a business man, he already has the best strategy for him to promote tesla and still make profit.

You got fantastic point. Actually i also not sure about Elon Musk thinking. I think Both are thinking Elon Musk. We saw many times Elon Musk Twitted about Doge coin and within short time Bitcoin price moves huge. So then doge coin price up.? And we know Elon Musk is a successful business man. So he can think different things. I think bow he love cryptocurrency very much. And he was bought big amount of Bitcoin in 2021 But recently he was sold all coin for urgent need. Although we see Elon Musk bough Twitter so he will use it for advertise it is normal. Elon musk is for crypto for attention to boost Tesla, SpaceX.

All I could say about Elon Musk is that he is a businessman and all he cares about is how he can make profit, what can he do to make those profits, and all of that. Elon's strong support for Shit coins is that he can have a very strong holding of those shit coins, Dogecoin to be precise. From the beginning, when he started promoting Dogecoin, the price pumped beyond people's expectations, and profit was really made out of it for those who were holding large amounts of it.
So his recent actions towards selling all their bitcoin holdings and not selling out any of their Dogecoin can also be seen as another means of telling the world that they are still with Dogecoin and its remains. If he can succeed with his plan, then he can be sure of taking out some huge profit again anytime soon if the Doge price pumps up a bit, and a few millions, if not billions, will be added to his net worth.

Elon musk has an entrepreneurial mindset and that's why he could confidently invest in all these projects ignoring the fear of unknown. I like his courage really, and no matter how you want to put it, he can never be broke even if all these companies fail.
He is one that has always believed in cryptocurrency and has some BTC, Eth and Doge coins in a wallet tucked away somewhere.
In 2021 when Tesla purchased some BTC, it could be likened to a whale move and it effected a price hike to about 25% which recorded an ATH of $48,000 as at then. Although, it was because it announced it was accepting BTC payment for new purchase of Tesla vehicles with as low as $100 deposit.
When Tesla stopped accepting payments with BTC, the interest rate however dropped to 10%, this just goes to show you that despite the attention, a whale is a whale, and Elon and his Tesla and SpaceX are big whales in the cryptocurrencies ocean.
You have an interesting position in relation to Ilona. It may be true about entrepreneurship, but this world can be incredibly harsh. Force majeure circumstances can happen to this person at any time. What to do then? Who will run all these companies? After all, not all of his relatives have a predisposition to this. What will happen to all this finance? It seems to me that not everything is as clear as you write.He is one that has always believed in cryptocurrency and has some BTC, Eth and Doge coins in a wallet tucked away somewhere.

Yes, Musk has crypto in his accounts, but he is not going to keep it forever. The right moment will come for him and he will throw everything off. The market will, of course, react to such an event, but then everything will return to its previous course. This has happened more than once. Therefore, there is no point in believing in him like that. Everything has some measure.

Here is an advertisement from the language on the banner could be in China on a BTC atm of Elon and his favorite coin, Doge.
source: https://mashable.com/article/tesla-bitcoin-dogecoin
But it is speculated he had sold most of one or all of his companies bitcoins in recent months.
One can only take a guess at this point in time as his X platform is wanting to come up with a payment system of their own.
But which cryptocurrency will they eventually choose?
Could be they will end up doing what paypal has done and come up with their own stablecoin and use this instead.

Elon was quoted in social media that says the most entertaining outcome is the most likely and he also continued with as seen from an external observer, not the participants.
We cannot be quite certain what he was telling everyone by saying this, however, it might imply something about Dogecoin. It would be very head scratching if he can make this joke pump to be in top 5 of the cryptospace.

In my honest opinion, I do not think he is really meant to be in this space. Although it's just a rumor that SpaceX has sold of their Bitcoins (but Evergrande is the main possible catalyst), I honestly think he is just only for attention.
We do appreciate the time that he hyped Bitcoin and made it to almost $70k thanks to his all-out support in DOGE. But I think he's not really meant to be in this space but we can't stop him from making decisions on his own like buying BTC at the dip and selling it high.

I think celebrities like Elon play a key role in the spread of crypto. We all know how much advertising money is paid to promote something in the world. I won't go into the benefits of advertising at length here. Elon is promoting Bitcoin. Elon is buying and selling Bitcoin. All of this is good for Bitcoin. Nobody is telling us to buy Bitcoin high and sell it low.
As a result, advertising is useful and important for mass dissemination.

He not only hyped up bitcoin for his own purposes but is known to do this for anything he is trying to garner attention too.Especially toward his companies SpaceX/Tesla/Twitter now all under one company name X.

The bitcoin market really dumped alot since even when FTX was dragging it down when it's dirty business dealings got revealed.
This is what everybody is saying is the cause of the recent price spike to the downward spiral:
https://www.wsj.com/tech/behind-the-curtain-of-elon-musks-secretive-spacex-revenue-growth-and-rising-costs-2c828e2b
The very last paragraph where it states that SpaceX had sold it's bitcoin they had reported on their balance sheet a year ago is no longer holding it.
This shouldn't matter but it seems to have rocked all of the cryptocurrency markets for one reason or another.

In my opinion, Elon is taking advantage of his popularity since a lot of people watching him. Whatever he do and suggests, people will follow because they believe Elon. Elon is a smart person, and he knows what he is doing. Just like what happened in doge last 2021, the price has exploded because of him. He invested before the price of doge exploded and I'm sure he profited a lot. Because of that, it benefit both of his project and in the community of crypto. In other words, "two birds in one stone".
I whole heartly agree with you there @jeraldskie11With this battle between the tech giants they have everybody's attention and the world is watching.

If you two are not going to fight.. might just be better to hug it out!

On a serious note, why not fight for a prize of bitcoin or in Elon's case a bag of Doge.

True. He can actually manipulate the market on however he prefer. Either with his money or with his reputation. It's a cool thing but could be dangerous when abused. IMO, he took advantage of his position and now making more profits because of it. He has so many followers that they would also invest on where he will go. News came out about the X company in San Francisco.
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/31/elon-musks-x-corp-seen-removing-giant-glowing-sign-in-san-francisco-.html?qsearchterm=elon%20musk
Talking about reputation. Despite that, there are still people who will be up against him especially if it's wrong.
Quote
Twenty-four complaints have been initiated with San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspections, a spokesman said. Those filing the complaints said the sign was put up without a permit, is unsafe, and is a nuisance. One said that its flashing lights made it hard for residents to sleep.
Let them sleep Elon. Here is Musk's response.
Quote
“San Francisco, beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend,” Musk posted on X.
I am still waiting if Musk will try to inject cryptocurrencies in his new X company (formerly Twitter). It could boost the market of the industry if done right. They say the number of users went down because of the subscription payment but I do believe it's still a good platform for advertising business.
