Elon Musk, Bitcoin, Ethereum ve Dogecoin'ini satmayacak. The eclectic CEO of Tesla said this in a tweet in response to Michael Saylor, CEO of Microstrategy.
Elon Musk holds on to his Bitcoin
It all stems from an initial tweet in which Elon Musk asked his followers what they thought about inflation in the US.
What are your thoughts about probable inflation rate over next few years?
- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) 13 Mart, 2022
This tweet was answered by Michael saylor, CEO of Microstrategy. Before going any further, it is worth noting that Microstrategy and Tesla are two of the companies that have a significant amount of Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
Saylor commented:
“USD consumer inflation will continue near all time highs, and asset inflation will run at double the rate of consumer inflation. Weaker currencies will collapse, and the flight of capital from cash, debt, & value stocks to scarce property like #bitcoin will intensify”.
Elon Musk’s response hints at a partial understanding:
“It is not entirely unpredictable that you would reach that conclusion”.
Daha sonra ekledi:
“Genel bir ilke olarak, bu başlıktan tavsiye arayanlar için, iyi ürünler yaptığını düşündüğünüz şirketlerde bir ev veya hisse senedi gibi fiziksel şeylere sahip olmak, enflasyonun yüksek olduğu zamanlarda dolardan daha iyidir.
I still own & won’t sell my Bitcoin, Ethereum or Doge fwiw”.
Güvenli liman olarak Bitcoin
With these words, Elon Musk seems to confirm that he considers cryptocurrencies, or rather, those three cryptocurrencies mentioned, as a safe haven asset that may not be affected by what will happen to the US dollar.
This is the debate that is engaging many analysts these months: can Bitcoin provide a hedge enflasyona karşı? Certainly BTC’s policy is deflationary: the amount of BTC that can ever be mined is fixed at 21,000,000 coins, so this should lead to an increase in the price precisely because of its low availability.
It is a different matter if we talk about Ethereum and Dogecoin, which do not have a limited supply. So their appreciation depends not only on the tokens in circulation but also very much on the technical progress of their respective projects.
Herhangi bir durumda, BTC, ETH and DOGE are increasingly moving out of the niche and into the mainstream.
End of the Musk effect
Despite these statements, the three cryptocurrencies brought up are not experiencing the usual price pump. On the contrary, at the time of writing this article, Bitcoin is losing 0.85% and stands just below $39,000.
Ethereum is just below parity, -0.30% at $2,500 in value.
Dogecoin also loses 1.16% and is now trading at 11 cents on the dollar.
Bu bir işarettir the market has become disengaged from the words of Elon Musk who at other times managed to drive the price of Bitcoin and Dogecoin up and down with his tweets.
