Tesla CEO Musk seems to have a soft spot for virtual currencies, with Musk highly advocating Bitcoin last year and Dogecoin even more this year.
Musk called a halt to Bitcoin car purchases
Musk tweeted on May 12 that Tesla has suspended the use of bitcoin in car purchases because it is worried that bitcoin mining will increase the use of fossil fuels.
The report noted that within two hours of the tweet, the price of bitcoin plummeted from near $54,819 to $45,700, the lowest since March 1.
Musk began to "bring" Dogecoin again
Recently, Musk said on the social platform: "Tesla will make some goods that can be purchased with Dogecoin to see how effective it is." ”
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Musk has given Dogecoin a platform. As early as a few years ago, Musk tweeted that Dogecoin is his favorite digital currency, and modified his Twitter account information to "former Dogecoin CEO".
This time, Dogecoin rose sharply again. As of 8:51 p.m. on Dec. 15, Dogecoin was trading at $0.18, up 16.42 percent.
