billionaire Elon Musk – despite warnings from fellow billionaire Bill Gates.

The bitcoin price broke the psychological barrier early Saturday morning and returned to its blazing early 2021 bull market after taking a breather in recent weeks.

Tesla, CEO of Tesla, which is known for moving the bitcoin price with its tweets, called for more than $ 60,000 before the rise of bitcoin on the popular bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase for the meme-based to support dogecoin.

“Do you think Coinbase should activate dogecoin on their platform,” a Twitter user asked in response to Musk’s tweet: “BTC (bitcoin) is an anagram of TBC (The Boring Company). What a coincidence!”

‘Yes!’ was Musk’s answer. Dogecoin has since added nearly 10%, although Musk’s ability to shift the dogecoin price has recently declined.

San Francisco-based Coinbase, published in a lure buster $ 100 billion listing, currently supports 49 different cryptocurrencies to varying degrees, but has so far refused to name the Shiba Inu-inspired dogecoin.

Interest in dogecoin exploded as bitcoin, by far the largest cryptocurrency with a total value of about $ 1.1 trillion after its latest boom, climbed thanks to a combination of Wall Street institutional adoption, corporate interest and retailers that stacked in the market.

Eles Musk’s Tesla set the bitcoin and cryptocurrency market on fire when it revealed it had bought $ 1.5 billion worth of bitcoin last month.

Dogecoin, a 2013 bitcoin clone described by the creator as a ‘joke’, soared in early February to a total value of more than $ 10 billion thanks to a meme-based campaign that, like the billionaire technology investor Mark tel. Cuban, rock stars and YouTubers among his fans.

However, Musk, who was elected as a dogecoin executive in a 2019 Twitter poll, had previously said that all of his tweecoin-related tweets were not meant to be taken seriously.

“Sometimes I make jokes about dogecoin, but it’s actually meant to be jokes,” Musk said during an interview in the inviting chat app Clubhouse last month.
