“Bitcoin seems a bit expensive” in “If you don’t buy bitcoin”,
Elon Musk Tesla CEO, who ignited the bitcoin investment craze, saying, “If you don’t buy bitcoin, you’re a fool,” said on 20 (local time) that the price of bitcoins is suddenly high.
◇ “Bitcoin-Ethereum is a bit expensive” Musk admitted via Twitter that “the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum is expensive.” This is a comment by leaving a reply to a tweet from Euro Pacific Capital CEO Peter Seef, a Bitcoin pessimist and gold advocate.
Seef said: “I think the bitcoin digital currency is much more crappy than the central bank issued documents,” he said. “Gold is not bullshit.”
Then Musk said: “Money is just data that allows us to avoid the inconvenience of bartering, and this data, like all other data, can be subject to delay and error.” He immediately wrote in the following tweet: “Bitcoin and Ethereum prices seem a bit high haha.”
Musk’s comments are unusual in that he is the one who fueled the bitcoin rally by pouring out the bitcoin defense so far.
The day before, the 19th, Musk said that Tesla’s decision to invest in bitcoin was justified, referring to those who don’t invest in bitcoin as “ stupid. ”
Musk tweeted: “When the real interest rate on fiat currency is negative, the only one who doesn’t look at the alternative is stupid.”
