Ali je Elon Musk samo nakazal, da Tesla odlaga svoj Bitcoin?

Predsednik uprave Tesla in SpaceX Elon Musk je danes morda že na Twitterju namigoval, da je Tesla svoje izdelke prodala ali jih namerava prodati Bitcoin. 

When Twitter user @CryptoWhale tweeted the hypothetical scenario that “Bitcoiners are going to slap themselves next quarter when they find out Tesla dumped the rest of their #Bitcoin holdings,” Musk replied with a single word: “Indeed.”

Although it is unclear which part of the tweet Musk is agreeing with (the prediction Tesla dumped its Bitcoin or the comment about how much hate he’s getting), or whether he’s even agreeing at all, the insinuation that Tesla could dump the 43,200 Bitcoin it bought in February for $1.5 billion immediately depressed the price of Bitcoin by almost $5,000 dollars, down to $44,700. 

Musk, who has spent much of the year publicly supporting Bitcoin, started to trash the coin earlier this week, pointing out the environmental damage caused by fossil-fuel-powered Bitcoin mining operacije. 

The rest of today’s damage was done when Musk widened his criticism against Bitcoin, lobbing invectives at some of the most prominent Bitcoin maximalists on Crypto Twitter, and tearing arguing with their claims that proof-of-work mining helps decentralize the network. 

“Hey cryptocurrency “experts”, ever heard of PayPal? It’s possible … maybe … that I know [more] than you realize about how money works” tweeted Musk, who co-founded PayPal.

Musk also took aim at crypto podcaster Peter McCormack, who described Musk’s recent kritike vplivov na okolje Bitcoin kot "slabo obveščen." 

McCormack had tweeted at length about why he believes Musk is wrong—mirroring the innumerable Twitter threads that did the same. McCormack concluded that Musk’s criticisms of Bitcoin and support for Dogecoin “may be the perfect troll… or you might actually believe this (God I hope not).” Musk replied: “Obnoxious threads like this make me want to go all in on Doge.” 

Musk also trained his sights at Michael Saylor, the Bitcoin ultra-bull, who has used the treasury of his company, U.S. cloud computing firm MicroStrategy, to spend milijarde dolarjev na Bitcoin. 

Musk called him “Saylor Moon,” and suggested he dress up like the anime character Sailor Moon “with ‘Bitcoin’ tattooed high on thighs.” Saylor took the jibe on the chin before redirecting Musk to his own educational site for Bitcoin.

Musk also ripped through the claim that Bitcoin’s proof-of-work consensus mechanism helps it stay decentralized. 

Tvitnil je: »Bitcoin je pravzaprav zelo centraliziran, nadmnožnost pa nadzira peščica velikih rudarskih podjetij. En sam premogovnik v Xinjiangu je poplavil, skoraj ubil rudarje, stopnja razpršitve Bitcoinov se je zmanjšala za 35%. Se vam zdi "decentralizirano"? "
