SpaceX already has a mission funded by Dogecoin next Tesla will accept it. After that it's a waterfall of companies jumping on this digital coin he trust. People will get wealthy at first from it but it's going to level off and hold it value vs any countries currency.

Elon baru sadar bahwa energi buat minning itu besar dan meningkatkan polusi udara.

Bilang aja pasaran lagi turun

Once you founded your own coin l know bitcoins is in trouble, you have enough bitcoins to dump in the markets and Doge will raise then you win and the cycle will complete.

But isn't going to be selling any.. This is a massive FUD play to bring prices down for bigger financial elites to be able to accumulate at lower prices. At the same time, yes the environmental issue does need to be addressed so as soon as it is crypto will be even harder to stop

Smart business move.
