Musk “You should have bought bitcoin 8 years ago”-Maeil Economy

Bitcoin price is rising as Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, an American electric car manufacturer known as a bitcoin pessimist, recently responded positively to Bitcoin. Prices are rising for each of the assets Elon Musk recently mentioned, such as’GameStop’ and’Dogecoin’.

As of 9:20 am on the 2nd, the dollar-based bitcoin price has risen by $563.55 (1.70%) from the previous 24 hours to 3,3671.51 dollars.

In an interview with the audio-only social media’Club House’, Musk clearly expressed his support, saying, “Bitcoin is a good thing.” In addition, in 2013, a friend introduced him to bitcoin. “I should have bought bitcoin eight years ago. I am late to the party.” Said.

On the 29th of last month, Musk changed his Twitter profile to `#Bitcoin`. The news that Musk has changed his Twitter profile has also caused bitcoin prices to skyrocket over $38,000.

Elon Musk has occasionally shown negative perceptions of Bitcoin. Until the end of last year, Musk tweeted that “Bitcoin is as useless as fiat currency.”

The British media guardian reported that Musk was the richest man in the world at the beginning of the year due to a surge in Tesla’s stock price, but in recent weeks there have been many references to other investments.

Last week, Musk tweeted in support of backlashing against short-selling investors and helping US private investors to soar the’GameStop’ stock price. In addition, on the 29th, the price of Dogecoin surged 800% by posting a graphic of’Dogue’, which parodyed’Vogue,’ on Twitter.

The Guardian said, “In a widely shared Star Wars-style poster on Wall Street Betz, Musk appears as one of the characters. The fictional movie title is’Diamond Hands’. It is a term referring to an investor who is doing,” he reported.
