The global bitcoin price soared over 15% in 30 minutes for no specific reason.
Some analysts say that Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, an electric car company in the United States, made a remark that could be interpreted as having bitcoin, which stimulated the bitter sentiment of cryptocurrency investors.
On the 29th at 5:36 pm, the global cryptocurrency exchange Binance’s Bitcoin price was about 32,200 dollars. Bitcoin, which had slowly moved sideways between $32,000 and $33,000 throughout the afternoon, suddenly started to skyrocket from this time, reaching $37,100 at 6:01.
As of 6:30, it is approaching $377,000. The dollar-bitcoin price of Coinbase, an American exchange, is formed at about $100 higher.
It is believed that Elon Musk’s tweet caused the price surge. Musk tagged his Twitter account at 5:22, 10 minutes before the bitcoin surge, and posted a short tweet saying, “In retrospect, it was inevitable.” This can be interpreted to mean that Musk himself bought bitcoin.
Musk’s tweet received 105,000 likes in an hour. This Tweet has been retweeted 16,000 times, with about 10,000 mentions.
