Last quarter Tesla sold more than $500 million worth of carbon credits.
Tesla will miss out on $240 million in revenue this year after European car giant Stellantis (a merger between Fiat Chrysler and the French-based PSA Group) revealed it would need far fewer credits to meet European Union emissions regulations than it initially thought.
This loss is assuming Tesla can’t find another customer for the carbon credits.
Enter Bitcoin miners, Elon Musk trashes Bitcoin for its energy use, at the same time promoting Dogshitcoin, helping Bitcoin price to fall. Then offers to solve the problem by offering to sell Bitcoin miners the spare carbon credits. With these, Bitcoin miners now producing a green coin, can fill OTC orders to institutional investors who can continue with plans to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets whilst meeting their Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) obligations.
The ESG is the single biggest barrier to entry for institutions.
Elon happy to keep a source of profit, strengthens TSLA stock.
Institutional investors happy to buy new non tainted environmentally clean bitcoin. Probably at a premium to cover miners increased costs.
Price starts rising again, everyone happy, except Proudhon of course!
I was cheering you on Farmer Bill, until you got to the point that Bitcoin miners are going to have any kind of meaningful incentive to playing ball with carbon credit bullshit. Sure there might be some bad faith miners that play that game, but I really doubt the vast majority of miners are going to give two shits or even less than that about bullshit ideas of carbon credit.
yeah, sure many of us realize that if BTC prices are at a premium, BTC miners probably give less than two shits about how much energy they are using, the kind of energy or how much it costs - as long as they are profitable - which seems to me that in recent times, there has been a lot of surplus in the profits of bitcoin miners.
Another thing that many of us recognize is that if (more likely when) profit margins in BTC mining turn more competitive, there are likely more incentives to search out cheaper energy sources, and BTC miners can be (and even have been) quite portable in that respect, which causes them to frequently seek out energy sources that might not otherwise be usable because of their distance from consumption sources or other inefficiencies that exist in regular markets and causing bitcoin mining to be amongst the most energy efficient of use cases, so the energy misinformation spreaders can fuck off with their opposite of true talking points that are attempting to mislead folks into nonsense theories like the one that you outlined above (no homo .. hahahahaha).
Elon must be on a rampage because i only see on Twitter: tweet not available.
He’s dedicating his Twitter profile to being anti bitcoin. Every tweet is negative towards bitcoin. He’s trying to singlehandedly destroy us.
hahahaha
good luck with that.
Of course, he is not alone.. there are plenty of other anti-bitcoin dweebs out there who spout out nonsense or otherwise engage in bitcoin naysaying, nocoiner, shitcoin pumpening and fence sitting behaviors..,. Let's see how it plays out. The next 6 hours (for those of you who don't know how to zoom out a wee bit
(not including you in this, LFC) are critical
tm.
Why do you guys fault Elon? We hadn't seen a correction weeks now. It was a matter of time before it dropped with or without a billionaire's tweet.
Exactamente!!!

Mr Elon Musk is acting as a nail in the coffin for bitcoin at the moment.
That would be interesting, if it were to happen.
I doubt bitcoin gives any shits.. even if there may well be a short-term negative impact on BTC prices and even weak-handed peeps who decide to part their lil selfies from their bitcoin based on such manipulations and FUD... and so anyone who has fewer bitcoin when we return to $64,895 (assuming that we do at some point) based on this kind of crap deserves staying poor.
