Elon Musk spune că nu își va vinde Dogecoinul, deoarece Mystery Whale cumpără mai mult

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has tweeted that he’s never sold Dogecoin and “won’t sell any DOGE.”

Musk are abilitatea de a împinge prețul criptomonedelor în sus - și în jos - cu note de șaizeci de caractere către cei 55 de milioane de adepți ai săi de pe Twitter.

Deci, piața pentru dogecoin, hungry for any sort of development to spur trading, responded by…doing nothing. Actually, less than nothing. The market for DOGE is down slightly in the hours since the tweet.

Cu toate acestea, cel puțin o balenă cumpăra la știri. Persoana care controlează adresa cu cel mai mult Dogecoin astăzi am cumpărat încă 4.2069 DOGE (a combination of the cannabis-associated numerals and a sexual position because…humor). The purchase, worth $1.70, comes after a May 18 transaction of 420.69 DOGE worth $192.92. Though that wallet a vândut 100 de milioane de DOGE (7.3 milioane de dolari) pe 12 aprilie there’s nearly $15 billion in it, and speculation is rife that it belongs to Musk–or, at least, to someone who admires him. For instance, the same wallet has a penchant for efectuând tranzacții din 28.061971 DOGE, an apparent reference to Musk’s birthday: June 28, 1971.

Yet an extra $1.70 coupled with a tweeted response haven’t been enough to move a market worth $52 billion, even one as volatile as Dogecoin. That could be because there’s only so much Musk can pump the markets in one day. After tweeting “How much is that Doge in the window?” early this morning, the asset went from just less to $0.37 to $0.40 in minutes. That’s where it remains.

Musk’s influence is perhaps, maybe, (hopefully?) waning as retail crypto investors tire of the yo-yo and look for other indicators to pin down a price.

For those who haven’t ridden the Crypto Twitter rollercoaster, take Musk’s on-again, off-again relationship with Bitcoin. În ianuarie, Tesla a anunțat că a cumpărat activul digital în valoare de 1.5 miliarde de dolari. Mai mult, a declarat că va accepta BTC pentru mașinile sale fără a încasa profiturile pentru Fiat. Prețurile Bitcoin au crescut cu mii în decursul orelor.

But in its Q1 earnings report, the company stated it had sold 10% of its BTC stash to “prove liquidity of Bitcoin as an alternative to holding cash.” Then, on May 12, Musk stated Tesla would no longer accept BTC due to ingrijorari privitoare la mediu. BTC, care a început în acea zi la 57,000 de dolari, a scăzut la 50,000 de dolari până la sfârșitul acestuia.

Dar ieri: Musk a trimis pe emoji diamante și mâini lângă numele Tesla, sugerând că producătorul de mașini electrice nu își va vinde deținerile Bitcoin. Ca pe un indiciu, piața Bitcoin a revenit cu 9% în mai puțin de o oră.

But…that came just a few days after Musk obliquely suggested Bitcoin was going to dump its Bitcoin and sent a series of tweets critical of the “centralized” currency. 

All of that dovetails with Dogecoin, which has more often been the beneficiary of Musk’s verbal beneficence. Musk, with an assist from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, helped push the joke coin into the national consciousness. At its height, DOGE, which until this year had never reached $0.02, was trading for $0.70. It now has a market cap of $52 billion, the seventh-highest in crypto.

Yet while hosting Saturday Night Live on May 8, he took the opportunity to poke fun of the coin in his opening monologue and later, in character, called it “a hustle.” The price of the coin tanked as whales cashed out.

And, of course, now he’s back driving the Doge bus. Musk claims to be working with developers to improve Dogecoin and make it better than Bitcoin. “Ideally, Doge speeds up block time 10X, increases block size 10X & drops fee 100X,” he tweeted on May 15. “Then it wins hands down.” 

While that all might sound great to DOGE holders, maybe we’d all be better off if he just sold and put down his iPhone.
