So it does look like Tesla is still working on their crypto payment system. I was surprised to see they updated the code on the page once this tweet was made. I figured this was just hangover stuff from when they were playing around with accepting crypto. It seems like maybe they're getting ready to open the floodgates again. Hopefully just in time for the perfect December storm we see every 4 years.

I think the Doge stuff is a stunt and I couldn't care less about it, but I'd like to see Bitcoin being accepted. In fact, I'd probably buy a model 3 next month if it were accepted (not that I'd get it anytime soon).

Exactly. Doge stuff is a stunt because it's been in the headlines this year. Ever since its early year pump it's been dropping in value against the rest of the market. It'll no longer be making headlines in 2022 and nobody will care about it, at least no more than people cared about it before this year. Musk is looking to squeeze the last juice out of Doge headlines while he still can.

Most likely, after all you do not get to be one of the richest people alive without knowing a thing or two about how to get some free publicity for your projects, Elon has been very smart about all of this to the point I remember people designing even bots to monitor the activity on his social media accounts and see if he talked about dogecoin so they could invest in it quickly enough before the price went up, so when Elon talks about dogecoin people listen and he knows this.

Well, that's the point, 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.

I speculate that this is because Elon Musk missed his chance to buy bitcoin under a dollar and also missed the chance to become one of the biggest personalities and influencers of the bitcoin community. Both of those chances he missed can presently be obtained by investing and supporting an altcoin.

I agree that EM has a great need to be important and significant in something, and it failed to achieve that with Bitcoin because it is decentralized. On the other hand, he agreed very easily with those behind Doge, although it is not clear to me how Buterin, who already has his own project, fits into this story? Some conspiracy theorists might say that a team that is serious about competing with Bitcoin is coming together, although the question is what do they really intend to do with a project that has a foundation in the idea of making a joke based on cryptocurrencies (primarily Bitcoin).

Vitalik is only with the Dogecoin Foundation on an advisory position. His time will not be 100% used on running the foundation. Also, he fits in quite well, I reckon. Vitalik had a much similar situation with bitcoin before his creation of Ethereum. He wanted influence, however, cannot have the same influence over the bitcoin community compared to people like Andreas. The result is he created his own coin.

How I wish that it needs someone to confirm that he use Dogecoin to buy a Tesla car but too unfortunate that there is none. Even the use of Bitcoin and ETH can't find anyone.
Well, if that is really true, then that was good. I know and I believe that someday the use of crypto to buy stuff is fully accepted and one's must have to take an action first as the others will follow next. I hope this was a real market deal and Tesla will continue to accept crypto not just Dogecoin as first stated by the owner.

He know that the dev doesn't have any control of that coin that's why he see a potential to manipulate the dogecoin market easily, We see him do that before and for doing this public stint and accepting it on their business for sure they are aftering something so better for new to not get hook by this news and sell if you hold doge once profit is already showing to us and its good not to be greedy on manipulated coins since we will end up chasing the news and get panic on situations currently happening.

He could possibly still make out some manipulation but not on the sense on dropping down the price even he's a billionaire yet this coin itself doesnt really have that single or a few holders which simply means that controlling it on the very essence would be nearly impossible.

Yes, anyone could make out some significant effect depending on the hype or fud that generates around considering that the community does easily react on situations like this.

Businesses could accept coins whatever they want because its their liking and decision whether there's something behind those decisions or doesnt have.

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.

The vehicle owned by Tesla is quite large and in fact many variants are offered, but unfortunately in our country there is no such product, in fact the hype is good for Tesla's development in adopting and influencing the market and if this is successful then it is likely that Tesla will continue to grow, adoption is good made by tesla, this is a development that is more and more attractive to people, the target market will be at certain countries.

You know Shiba is currently a new coin and since it has gathered a small firm people will like to test it's condition. and i taught tesla don't accept any payment with bitcoin and bitcoin is one of his criticising coin that he hate so much and prefer Doge over bitcoin, initially he was bumping doge to get domination over btc....lol.. since the doge has been changed by name called powercoin i think it will help to have like Shiba, but it will take time from my own ideology before the name will get acquainted with people.

Elon Musk is the owner of Tesla and also the promoter of Dogecoin, that obviously they will accept this coin than choose Bitcoin instead. But such a changing mind hearing news talking about that they will accept Bitcoin. It can be now a twist of Elon Musk to love Bitcoin and hold more of it, in fact, we are aware that he also holds a few BTC.
I don't include Shiba in this, it is a separate issue. And don't also think that this is a sort of competition between the 2 meme coins Doge and Shiba. But I'd see this that Elon Musk and Tesla are ready to criticize after rejecting Bitcoin before as they just keep Doge alone.

I happen to think, that Elon Musk has had Bitcoins since practically its inception. Let's not forget that he was one of the creators of PayPal. In 2010-2012 the fact that he heard about a new 100% virtual payment system certainly caught his attention and he must have had some "experience".

Doge is a sideshow. Who cares if a company or two accepts a worthless meme token. Bitcoin is moving toward global adoption. Any random company can decide to accept any random crypto. The only crypto that matters for payment is Bitcoin. Accepting Doge just makes headlines for Musk cuz its so stupid. He likes being in the headlines.

After six years, the Dogecoin Foundation has been re-established with a renewed focus on supporting the Dogecoin ecosystem, adding some high-profile names to its board of advisors.

According to a statement from the foundation, the board of advisors will include Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk’s legal and financial advisor Jared Birchall.

Birchall, a former senior vice president at Morgan Stanley is also on the board of the Musk Foundation and manages Musk’s family office. The executive will represent Musk’s interests on the Dogecoin advisory board alongside Buterin, Dogecoin founder Billy Markus and core developer Max Keller.

Now that the Foundation has been re-launched, a structure will be put in place to hire full-time staff to work on the project. These include engineers who would work towards faster integration and easier APIs for financial, social and charitable projects wishing to use Dogecoin.

The Dogecoin Foundation also stated its intent to protect the Dogecoin brand.

This Shiba Doge connection, i don't get what these guys are trying to do, are they endorsing both of them or maybe it was a typing error on their side?

What they're looking for is Tesla to be talked about. This information has already allowed this topic to have three pages of comments.

That is, goal accomplished, Tesla to be talked about, without spending a single cent on marketing. Roll Eyes

What they are looking for is Elon to be talked about and not just Tesla. I get that most of his money comes from Tesla, owning a big part of it made him this much wealthier, and that is why everyone thinks he is doing it just for tesla.

However, remember that he has Solar City for tesla and he has SpaceX as well. That way we end up realizing that MAYBE he is doing this for all of his companies and not just one of them. He is getting more and more popular, which means that if he ever wants to do something with his other companies, and he is not allowed, then he has the backing of the population to help him as well. Dude literally sold flamethrowers to make some money, imagine how much more money he could raise.

Even doing any NFT collection would raise enough money to send another rocket to moon literally today and get it back as well, Imagine a world where you could land a space rocket to moon, then come back and then use the same rocket to go back and do this ten times cheaper than alternatives. This is possible with just one NFT collection because he is getting more popular everyday by doing things like this.

They don't need to be talk since they are already famous

Of course they do! Just by continuing to be talked about, he manages to stay on top.

Their marketing strategy is to get talked about, no matter what the reason (as long as it's not unclear). This allows them to spend less money on advertising.

Tesla is the best-selling electric car in virtually every country, but it's also the one with the least advertising. Why? Because it's always talked about in the media. That's your strategy.

They don't need to be talk since they are already famous but what they are trying to do here is manipulating people again, they do this before and for another try around this attempt happened again so hopefully there's no one will fall and think about doing long term holding while there presence is here since we will just ending up picking up their waste after they dump their holdings. But if we know how to ride them its good catch the hype they release.

What would you expect? Anything could really be talked about neither an intentional one or simple cant really be avoided such discussions because it is continuous and its impossible for it on not to be talked about.

Of course every company would really be finding out ways on having exposure neither they do spend up some funds or allocation or budget or compeltely free and they do know that crypto market is a huge one and accepting those trending coins or known ones would make out some significant
noise which does simply means that it is really having some exposure.

Just like on what others been saying that its their business then its their right or choice on which one would be accepted.

That whole Tesla stunt of nolonger accepting crypto/bitcoin was a marketing stunt all along to have all eyes on them and boost their customer base, this was really a calculated move.

The tweets, the negative talk about bitcoin all part of marketing, well done Elon Musk well played.
