I think Tesla and Elon Musk don't really accept bitcoin and Doge payments for their cars. Elon Musk has always been in the spotlight of crypto investors. Elon Musk is known in social media circles as a major troll, making statements that could affect the price of bitcoin and Doge. Moreover, this is not the first time he has made a mess on social media. Since last year, he made a statement that received Dogecoin payments for his vehicles but then he canceled them.

It's doesn't matter though, bitcoin is already too big and not even one man like Elon Musk can stop it.

If he accept it like what he did before then good, if not we are going to be ok. And lately though, as far as I'm concern, he is no longer relevant to the bitcoin ecosystem.

Yes, he could have invested on it, but that's just it. We should move forward and totally forget about him.

Of course Elon Musk can't stop bitcoin. but we also can't just forget Elon Musk's presence in the Cryptocurrency world because every time Elon Musk tweets about cryptocurrency, the market seems to react to it.

People don't want to miss the hype that's why we see how the market react for certain times but we shouldn't get hype for certain situation since we know Elon sometimes have downturns after he already accumulated profit again. So we need to be watchful on what is the content of his tweet since sometimes his influence can manipulate the minds of the people especially with those new ones.

Yeah, that's what is called Elon Hype Grin

Basically, Elon has been silent for weeks about any discussion of his crypto holdings or any crypto that he wants to tweet after he had a harvest to his last tweet. I reckon that Elon Musk is now getting more famous and gained many followers as many people are watching what would he tweet next time, is he going to create a new hype or is he going to make another crypto dip just like what he did to SHIB last time.

Well, this is not new for us as we know Elon how he hyped Dogecoin and when stops shilling on it, its value certainly creates a downward trend. And with this new hype that Tesla accepting dogecoin, this is more of a price manipulation so that its value will be hyped again and starts to increase. Knowing Elon, he lives for his own desires so we should limits when it comes to him.

Knowing Elon, he is just pursuing his own personal interests in crypto, and once he is full of gains, then he will leave the market without notice. But bitcoin cannot be easily manipulated this time as big institutions are already at the back of bitcoin.

However, Tesla accepting Shiba or Dogecoin are definitely all lies. This may be another trick for Elon to hype dogecoin and Shiba Inu so that it will create more community and in the end, Elon will still be the big winner and those who believed in hype will definitely face losses in the future.

Doge had a very strong upwards move today. From 16 cents to 22 cents it is now 20

I think if he announced this earlier, such as when BTC was at ATH, then perhaps Doge might be nearing its ATHs also. However it seems that his tweets are getting less and less relevant. It was every Dogecoin holders dream for Tesla to accept Dogecoin and now that it does (or will soon) the pump seems to be fading.

We will see how the daily closes however not looking so promising so far. I think since this coin has experienced an >80% loss from ATH has alot of bag holders which are very desperate to get out as the biggest loss possible.

Since year is ending... there is going to be lots of tax loss harvesting selling and most likely Dogecoin will be one of those coins that experiences those. People will want to take the loss on Doge to offset their gains on another stocks/cryptos. So heading into the new year might go lower and maybe Q1 might go higher.

Step-by-step guide to make a shitton of money from the shitcoin market:
Step 1: be popular or semi-popular with a large number of brainless followers on social media.
Step 2: choose a random low value, low volume shitcoin that can get good pumps.
Step 3: buy as much of that shitcoin as you can over a long period of time in order not to change its price or let anyone know.
Step 4: start advertising the crap out of that shitcoin to those brainless followers so that they end up buying that shitcoin
Step 5: dump and make a huge profit

Congratulations you are now a scammer and in many jurisdictions you are considered a criminal for market manipulation.
/s

I agree with you. most people out there eat the talk of people who are considered gods in business. they manipulate the market for their own personal gain. most of them people want to get rich fast without the need for a process. smart in determining the market.

So it seems this actually was somewhat true, Elon Musk just posted on twitter,

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1470703708677840896

"Tesla will make some merch buyable with Doge & see how it goes"

So I guess you won't be able to buy an entire Tesla car but can buy some Tesla accessories.

well i'm not surprised by this move of his, he's such a big advocate of dogecoin, so much of a supporter that it was on binance's owner's twitter account to complain about the unfairness binance was doing against dogecoin. this shows that elon is a great doge defender. now I don't know if we'll ever hear someone buy a car at his company using a doge, I think that in practice no one will do

Seems that Tesla is testing payment in Bitcoin and another coin called SHIBA. However upon investigation it seems that the coin is called SHIBA but when he did a test transaction the address started with D. And then he did a test payment on the Doge network and when the payment was accepted it confirmed on the Tesla servers.

Never in a million years would of I guessed that he was actually serious and would start accepting Doge. Was assuming he would accept Bitcoin and Ethereum. Definitely not Shiba or Doge.

Wonder if someone will actually buy an entire Tesla vehicle paid for by Dogecoin.

i was very sure from the start that Elon would never want to realize the plan to accept Dogecoin as payment at Tesla, he just wanted to make a joke but many responded and made the price of Dogecoin go up drastically, now he says he accepts SHIBA, i am sure that it will be just talk.

The company accepts Bitcoin as it might be the demand of the people but I don't think if that is because of Doge's stance. Now, Doge is sitting on the corner need supports to gain hypes. But I don't think if Elon Musk will do it again as many people as possible don't buy the hypes again.

I don't think its for the demand but rather for the hype they possible want to establish in the market also a marketing strategy for them knowing all who use bitcoin is an investor and they might grab some unit if they see tesla accept bitcoin on their payment options, that's why many people got crazy about those news and been FOMO for certain scenario made by them.

I don't think that he is more concerned about the tax, he's getting proud of becoming The number one among the richest people in the world and that he'd likely to keep that record and that is why he uses his money to invest more and more.

Sometimes being rich is so stressful and how much more if you have a status the richest man on earth for sure you will do everything just to retain your position since you will need that status for business and any related unto it since you will earn the respect in business sector.

This guy reached to a level where he is worth nearly 300 billion dollars. Literally 300 billion dollars, he even sold some of his stock and paid a ton of taxes just to prove a point. Don't get me wrong what he has invested so far and what he is building is magnificent for our world, he knows that earth can't sustain the way it is right now and that means we need to go a lot more green right now (which he helps with Tesla) and we will need to leave as soon as possible (which he helps with spacex) and all of that is nice and all.

However he worths 300 BILLION DOLLARS, doesn't that look a bit too excessive for you? I am not saying that we should take his money away, if he reached there then we let him be there, but maybe we should all stop glorifying all these rich people already and stop giving them all of our money because it is %100 damn certain that the stock of Tesla should not be that high but just because he is quirky and funny there are millions of retail investors who buy Tesla stock and made it 10x overvalued.

Well, anyway...
I don't think that he is more concerned about the tax, he's getting proud of becoming The number one among the richest people in the world and that he'd likely to keep that record and that is why he uses his money to invest more and more. Kinda be worrying that he forgets to protect his reputation in real life than being in love with money.

When you are that influential, you can create just a simple thing into your company, post it online and *poof* you are trending again in different social media platforms Cheesy

.

Right now, both DOGE and SHIB didn't make a price increase but as this rumor or news will be spread in the next days there is a possibility that one of these two coins or both of them will pump short term.

I agree with what you said, Being famous and influential means being in the spotlight and a role model for many people

I was never interested in investing in memecoin even though Elon did marketing about it, what I regret is why it has to be shiba tokens and not other good tokens/coins besides bitcoin lol

shiba inu is a memecoin that is hype because of elon and will definitely get a lot of people stuck at a high price

Lots had made out some good profits on that SHIB hype but there are still lots who had been fucked out hard and remains on the peak price and keeps holding because theyve been caught with the dump.

Is this something surprising? No its not because this is a very common mistake not only happened now but also in the past where hypes and shills do happen which do really end up on buying a coin
basing on what others been suggesting.

Result? They've find themselves on the top and ending up on holding like forever yet the coin had never made out that recovery.

On topic reply about Tesla accepting bitcoin payments and other meme coins then well its their company then its the choice or rules to make.

Because this is a forum about cryptocurrencies, and Tesla has invested in Bitcoin, not SpaceX Wink

Quote from: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/elon-musk-spacex-bitcoin-b1888210.html

Elon Musk has revealed that SpaceX has invested its cash reserves in bitcoin, following on from Tesla’s announcement earlier this year that it bought $1.5 billion of the cryptocurrency.

That's at least 5 months old news, so it's not clear to me how something like this can go unnoticed by someone interested in Bitcoin? And the reason people focus almost entirely on Tesla is that it's still a car company, and ordinary mortals are much more interested in it than a company that sends people and cargo into space.

Well, and it's Tesla that accepts payments in BTC and space flights in SpaceX, unfortunately, we cannot buy in crypto. Cool

When it comes to DOGE, I like dreamers a lot, but businessman like Musk will never agree to accept a payment in a coin that really has no value but just community.

Elon knows how to ride the popularity on crypto, maybe he was really into it for a long time. Maybe as early as 2017 wherein he saw a lot of crypto influencers and observed how they did all this publicity stunt.

Now, it benefit him personally, his company and still he is on the coat tail of Doge. As much as we hate hi, this guy is really pure genius, just saying.

Unfortunately there is a huge problem with our world where people worship the powerful, and that has not changed for a long time, at least if they look like they are regular people.

It is common to hate Jeff Bezos, nobody really likes him to be honest, but look at the level at Elon, many people love him for how he is, not just what he does but the quirky nerdy type of act he plays. This dude didn't build paypal, he stole emeralds from his dads mine that his dad stole from Africans with brute force, and then sold some, and he was sent to Canada to study and given ton of money, then he built something with his friends which his friends basically built but he had the money to sustain it, then he was merged with what is paypal today and sold his shares, all he did was channel his dads dirty blood money into what will turn to paypal, then he bought Tesla from the founders, he did nothing, just channeled money into that, got free handout from government with spacex and many alike situation. Like this guy? There is a billion reason to hate him, he is everything that is wrong with the system.

As unfortunate as this is people are just like that, just look at the reverence celebrities get from the general public, to me this problem has been exacerbated through social media, as in the past even if people revered the celebrities there was still a great deal of distance between them and their fans, but now social media creates the illusion that they are closer to the celebrities or that they are their friends and this makes most people to worship them even more.
