Elon still in Love with DOGE. If the fantastic billionaire Elon Musk recently explained “ not to think every day » to cryptos and Bitcoin (BTC), he still talks about it quite often. And even if the CEO of Tesla is more discreet about his little darling Dogecoin (DOGE), he seems to completely retain his special affection for him. With a over-the-counter payment system announced for this year on the network X (ex-Twitter), we wonder if Elon Musk doesn’t think about cryptocurrencies more often than he wants to say.
Elon Musk still a fan of Bitcoin and Dogecoin
In addition to bitcoins bought by Tesla early 2021, Elon Musk also made it no secret that he himself had Dogecoin. His interest, and especially his pest memeson the memecoin to the Shiba Inu dog smiling at him earned the vindictiveness of certain investors who bet too big on what was, at its creation in 2013, only a crypto-joke parodying Bitcoin.
This did not prevent Elon Musk, in a recent meetingiwe Space on the X network, to once again signal its interest (and that of its companies) in cryptocurrencies, as reported by the X account of DogeDesigner – a Dogecoin graphic designer with whom Musk often interacts.
“I still own a fair number of Dogecoin and SpaceX owns a fair number of Bitcoin. »

Cryptos for the future payment system of Network X?
Since the great news for the former social network Twitter, now X, is the integration of a over-the-counter payment system (peer-to-peer payment system) in 2024, all eyes in the cryptosphere are focused on Elon Musk’s opinion on the possibility that one (or more) cryptocurrency is one of them.
And when Cathie Wood – the CEO of ARK Invest who has just celebrated approval of its spot Bitcoin ETF – asks him if Bitcoin could precisely be part of this new payment infrastructure between users of the X network, Elon Musk responds:
“I’m open to the idea of using Bitcoin [pour le futur réseau de paiement de X]. »

If Elon Musk is the type to have 1000 projects in mind between Tesla, SpaceX and the X network among others, a small part of his thoughts remains close to crypto-assets. In any case of Bitcoin and Dogecoin as we have just seen. Another proof of this is when he willingly participated in recent taunts against the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) during the fiasco of the institution this January 9, when the account pirate of the institution falsely announced approval of ETFs spot BTC (the actual approval fortunately taking place the next day, January 10).
