It has been a while Elon Musk shill for DOGE and that's what happened today again. 2 tweets from Elon Musk. Both were interesting. But I don't get the exact reason of his shilling behind the shilling. He once said he only owns 0.25 BTC which his friend gifted him long ago.

I think it's because DOGE is a based meme coin, so he's trolling for fun/joke only.

But well people is too serious about his tweet, so many peoples are take the advantages of the hype since they think Elon Musk (the richest person) is believe on DOGE.

Why not? He is one of the most popular personality in the world so probably he is just trying to make an experiment on how the market will move.
The problem is we just love to speculate so much so we can easily get fooled by people who like to manipulate the market, we should mature much, think of the actual result and its potential than a simple tweet or whatsoever.

He wasn't shilling, but more of having some fun with his tweet. It is not the same as Jack Dorsey shilling BTC since he was serious about it.
Elon Musk likes to joke, meme himself, etc. He likes the attention more than anything else.

He has tweet that he just want to destroy the shorts. Just like Dogecoin as a meme in the cryptocurrencies, he's trolling and memeing the market with his tweets to destroy those traders in shorts as he said: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1357269755112148993
He's just making fun of it but the market is reacting on it positively. No one hates Dogecoin even if it's a meme.

He could be playing or joking, but there's a high chance that he's holding an amount of crypto so he's taking advantage of this popularity to hype these coins.

Shilling usually occurs to intimidate and take advantages of the weak hands in crypto currency market; Musk shilled doge and people fomoed (fear of missing out); The reason behind the shilling is what you know, which is profits. If you remember clearly' McAfee has done something like this numerous times too! I urge everyone to work on their emotions as a trader; do not be moved by words; fuds or fomo. Always do your own research

he maybe joking, but some people are serious with his tweets, and shilling DOGE seems to be natural for him
nevertheless, one has to be careful with meme coins, since he can stuck in the position or get out with a lose, what goes up quickly, could go down quick as well

DOGE is up again today, and one can use this fly up to take a quick buck, but that could end up with a lose as well, and it is closer to gambling, than investment

Well, the thing he's doing makes us money, I invested in early January, hoping for a price hike and didn't expect that it will rise up in the last week of January.
My profit has multiplied 10x and it's a great opportunity for me to grow again money by investing in it, assuming that it might happen again soon. Dogecoin is a meme coin, if experts or known people are playing with DOGE, then thanks for them because it's growing simultaneously.

doge is moon because of them Go doge :)

I think he is probably joking when I read Elon's tweet that says - "Dogecoin is the people's crypto" and his second tweet confirms my assumption that says - "No highs, no lows, only Doge"! These are fun tweets without any serious thoughts behind them!

But look, even if this is fun, Doge is up by 50% today! So traders might have made some handsome returns just from Elon's tweet! I had few thousands of Doge few years back and now I forgot where are those!

Dogecoin is profitable investment for long term, Dogecoin is used for instant payment, fun, and free transaction fees. It has 1 minute block interval time for fast transaction than other blockchain

now meme is gain power on every social media, doge is old coin after ltc so the distribution already mature and many holder are from miner and this coin has big community from chinese

many product using advantage of internet meme, and elon most likely love doge because quirky and they support with new technology he love it, doge to da moon  :D

This might only show how an influence man can uplift such kind of crypto even if it was a joke for him but people are taking this joke seriously just because the tweet was came from Elon Musk. These was just a meme for him but see how does it affects to DOGE. I am not saying that what he did has a sought of wrong doings but i think he should be careful by what he was shill for especially knowing that he was an influence person.

He is an DOGE supporter for very long time and even he updated his bio as former CEO of DOGE once when he won the twitter poll from its creators which itself a sign that he is a supporter and also he recently interested in bitcoin. Bitcoin is too far now to accumulate but DOGE is still cheap and he can accumulate when its cheaper and can able to shill it with his influence.

Obviously trolling and not actually shilling if you ask me.

At this point, Elon's reputation as meme lord in twitter is already known far and wide. I don't think it's necessarily shilling for something if you just posted meme-y stuff about something, though in this day and age everything that you post about on social media could be misinterpreted, hence why Elon 'shills' doge. Every tweet Elon has about something is already interpreted as a money-making tool, and his followers would surely see it as that, that's why we see an increase in dogecoin recently.

Anyway, perhaps McAfee could take some notes on how to properly 'shill' on a coin. Elon does it effortlessly, that is if he's really shilling the coin to the moon.

He wouldn't be doing it if he doesn't have doge. He must have billions of it after all he started joining crypto long time ago. I remember him selling tesla cars for BTC way back 2016. Maybe during those times he already accumulated doge while its price is just few satoshis.

I once encounter a video on youtube where a whale trade in crypto wearing a doge shirt while he keeps talking on the camera. I'm sure doge had been toys for the big boys in crypto. Elon is now about to make it like DOGECOIN is a household name.

MEMES guys everythings with Elon was for the MEMES ~LOL

But, everyone just taking seriously when he tweeted is always has been no matter real supported or memes when some famous people tweet or making some statment sometimes everyone will just following him.

I don't know why but people have to learn from their mistakes, and don't follow Elon Musk that much because he's just messing around and later on will dump all of those who follow the trade signal. I saw a lot of comments on his twitter account where people are trap on top because of what he was doing, even if this is just a meme people thinks that he is promoting Doge, this is very risky and alarming.

Don't take this guy seriously because this can be a trap signal or what, whatever it is I'm not biting on this one and I'll not follow the full of hype token like Doge. If you do buy, make sure you sell early and be contented with the profit that you have because if not, then you'll be part of those who are trap on top.

I respect Elon for what he is doing right now with regards to tesla and SpaceX, but I don't want him to make people fool by just following all of his tweet. There's something with this guy and its not good at all, people are losing money and I hope he realize this one later on.

I agree with you and I think people just take the opportunity to make a profit from investing in DOGE, because people know that with a tweet from Elon Musk, then it will have a positive impact on the price of DOGE to increase very high, so people don't want to lose this opportunity and immediately buy DOGE to be an investment, because people can get profit quickly from investing in DOGE.

There is no question in my mind that Elon is just being a Troll when it comes to Doge coin.  If you actually think Doge coin has a legit future you're a fool. I mean this really can't come as a big surprise to anyone anyhow, he's often a pretty big troll.

We don't know why elon musk choose doge just his self know why have tweet with doge coin, but just happening faster for doge coin after his tweet price dump and many people have to hold their assets because buy on higher, I think if you late get information about elon must tweet better not buy doge coin when raise higher price, just be watcher only if you wanna have hold your doge coin in long time.

Agree, this absolutely what in my mind. I dont think person like elon musk buy doge instead bitcoin.
He just want to play meme coin for fun.

This situation seems to have happened to several world figures. like Jhon McAfee once did to beat. a lot of sayings from the world of figures who influence some crypto markets or are also related to certain assets. and this year Elon for DOGECOIN.

That was funny. He was explained that he was making a joke. Which means he was joking about a joke coin

I don't think so. If he was, he would definitely share I think. He was having fun with DOGE from a very long time but that unknown reason obviously. You can see that he only doing such shill for DOGE. No other coins although he changed his bio into bitcoin for some days a few days ago.

 everyone should have

he was playing the sentiment on the crypto community lol. I got your point and i do agree with it. People are taking it as serious thing while all of altest tweets created by elon is about joking.
He knows that how to play the market sentiment in crypto with his big name and his tweet can affect the market.
The majority of people didn't aware about that dude

I am fan of Elon but with his recent actions on doge, my enthusiasm towards him is reducing. I thought his Tesla was built to solve problems, I tried to find what doge is doing particularly but I couldn't came with a conclusion just pure pump and dump.
I only pity those who grows to like this shit coin because of the quick gains they used to make overnight.
I think if cry doesn't have this volatility, many would have live this space and call it spam but they enjoy this fast price shakes.  :-\

Because doge the only coin to make a fun to. It was also created for fun back in 2013 or 2014. In fact and i am pretty aure elon muak Hodl bitcoin but no one knows his address, and another reason is doge is the coin used by wallstreet bets community on reddit.

https://decrypt.co/56616/what-we-know-about-the-dogecoin-address-that-holds-27-of-its-supply?&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=feed&utm_source=coinmarketcap

Probably Elon has a good relationship with some of the dogecoin devs or a friend of the dogecoin devs, it is all about connections, For someone like Elon to shill a regular coin like doge is because of some personal factors not because he got bored and decided to talk about a random coin in the crypto space.

I feel quite relaxed that Elon Musk is constantly taking action on the crypto market, let alone how much influence he has on this market as his movement has caused bitcoin, doge to go up in a way. To me this was a blatant pump of the market price, but it wouldn't be a bad thing if I was profitable and happy with that.

I dont think they serious for that, they just take opportunity by taking hype which created by Elon Musk.
im sure the price wont hold that high longer.

we all thought that doge was done and he will now move on to the other coins but it seems he loves doge coin that much because he re pump it again . if you think its shilling then you dont need to think of any other reasons why he did that aside from profit purposes , he wants to gain too from doge coin because he might still not be contented on what he earns when he shills btc  .

that was long time ago and he probably add more coins to his basket and he probably owns more that 0.25 btc of bitcoins now because btc is his primary coin according to what he acts

Nice move dude, i hope i still hold some Doge but im already sold it before. I mean, who expect Doge will rise this high, also why people got hype for a tweet from Elon Musk,
he didnt tweet he buy Doge, he part of the community or anything, he just simply tweet Doge and people got it very hype, so strange.

I think everything is simple here. Elon said that he bought the first bitcoins back in 2013. In my opinion, he became the richest man on earth not because of Tesla, but thanks to cryptocurrency. And now, at the peak of popularity, he buys bitcoin for huge amounts (and puts the hashtag bitcoin), then Doge (and the same thing). He is an ordinary speculator.

No one knows the exact reason but there could be only 2 main reasons for shilling.
1) paid/sponsored tweets or maybe he is helping his friend ( dogecoin owner could be his friend.)
2) he is holding big bags of dogecoin and due to that very reason he is shilling to pump the price and increase the value if his bags.

Looks like sponsored posts or tweets becauseif he would have jumped into crypto himself after analysis im sure he would have jumped into btc or eth so talking about doge out of nowhere makes no sense to me.

Doge does not look bullish to me now at all, its pumped obviously. Musk may hold a ton or maybe he wants to hurt bitcoin.

Because basically doge and btc can do the same thing. It may turn into an issue. The advantage of doge may be that not that many people have extremely large bags as with bitcoin, i dont know.

Elon Musk always shill for Doge and it is not a big surprise that he is always shilling all the time and he knows he could manipulate the market and i am confused whether he is holding any coins but he always does that once in a while and i am not sure whether he is getting any benefit from shilling the coins. He shilled bitcoin and the price rallied and now a few days later he is back to doge.

Everything seems simple to me. Musk has been following the cryptocurrency market for a long time. He's a very smart uncle who has a very large company. Therefore, he can be trusted.

He has some friends among early DOGE adopters or creator or developer. I forgot.  He helped him with Twitter spam 5 years ago. From that time on he make Doge tweets or have Doge written in his profile. He is joking about it.

For crypto to take over as a global currency, there needs to be orders of magnitudes of more beta testers to push innovation. If not Elon Musk, someone has to do it.

Only he knows about the true reason on why he do  really hype DOGe this much.This might be a meme coin but I wont really be taking it as a valid reason.

If he do get interested with DOGE tech then I cant blame him off but if he do just pump out something in the market just for pure interest or intention.

You cant tell on whats up into his mind on why he do this but to think that this fella is the richest man on earth then he does really have the capability to do so.

It is mainly because dude is acting like a child, a child that did all he wanted to do and that's why. He lived a very very privileged life, he was born into a family that had slaves and mines stolen from the natives and that is why his father was super filthy rich anyway, and then he went to great schools that his father easily paid, never had any money problems since his father was sending him money whenever he wants to, then he started his own business with the money he got from his money, then merged with another company to make it better, and then simply sold it, and here we are today, with all the money he had he wanted cars and spaceships, not really something unthinkable, that is literally what a child would want but this is an overgrown baby child with shit ton of money. Doge is another thing he shows his child-like nature, that's about it, nothing more to it.

something relevant i stumble upon for this wallet

Doge coin is a meme coin. It has been made to be that and Elon likes stuff like that. He has many silly invention like flame thrower etc. I think it's nothing more to that.

simple reason, because he already collecting a lot of doge when the price cheap my friend
and now he want to sell his doge, but of course need a huge amount of money from buyers

Yeah, I think he just likes doge and maybe he is secretly stashing doge. I don't think he is selling right now. But I don't believe that he has only 0.25BTC as gift by his friend up until now. I think he has more than that but not disclosing about his crypto stash. But if nothing else, his tweets are gaining traction and has positive impact to crypto market.

maybe he bought doge with all his 0.25BTC mate, and he want to create a hype on doge
so, doge price will grow and touch about $0.1 then he will sell his doge

Is the reason really matters?

Elon Musk can shill whatever coin he wants. From what I'm thinking, he is too busy with his life that even putting a few seconds to Twitter is difficult so maybe, his Twitter representative plays a role too on that tweet (lol).

Funny aside, just let him shill whatever and whenever he wants. There are lots of traders that are taking advantage of the post-effects of those tweets.

Or maybe not? Elon Musk was also known for his love for memes. So, it's either he's just trolling, or he's testing his influential capabilities, or does have doge coin and trying to put a hype on it, and dump. But all that doesn't really matter because he can actually put a hype in every investment or cryptocurrency he wants to at this current rate.
There's a lot you can do when you're the richest man in the world lol.

while it seems he is having fun, people are taking it serious and investing hugely on it. I saw a tweet today of someone who claimed he got rekt because of buying doge which dumped on futures trading. these kind of things are bound to happen, you should be the one responsible for your funds and not some fun tweets from an influencer.

I believe after Billy Markus left the Doge project 7years ago due to harassment from the communities and sold all his holding in the year 2015 (footing what he said) Jackson Palmer can not handle the job alone, he seeks some help from Elon Musk which he later acquires the project and before the rightful CEO of Dogecoin all he can do is to shill for the coin.

Hard to say what's Elon Musk's intention as of late specially a coin like DOGE, perhaps he was a member of WSB? Or just trolling crypto market? or he owns a lot of DOGE? or he is trying to flex his muscle and prove a point? One things for sure, this market is very volatile and the price can really jump by just a mere tweet of a very influential person such as Elon Musk.
 

It's his profile so he can shill whatever he wants.

Maybe he doesn't own DOGE but just playing with the trend of seeing how can he create hype at any coin and lure people into it.

Effective isn't it and lots of people ride the trend he creates. He is a truly real-deal when creating hype and I think he can raise a dead or shitcoin out of nowhere.

I think elon musk is trying to attract investors especially newbie riders by create a hype post then once they were attracted and start doing FOMO the whales like him will start selling crypto such as dogecoin.

The situation with Doge is very interesting, it appeared on its own does not lose popularity only thanks to PR. It is unlikely that Elon Musk advertises the token for fun. It seems to me that he himself invested in the coin and uses his status to raise the price.

everyone doesn't know the exact reason Elon Musk did it, Dogecoin is an obscure cryptocurrency, no development like other coins like ethereum, BNB, DOT .etc
maybe elon musk just likes dogecoin, so he promote it

Nobody dont know why Elon Musk started writing about DOGE so suddenly, and it doesn't matter why he does it, because the most important thing is after he starts writing something about DOGE, so immediately the price of DOGE starts to grow very much and this is great, because you can get a good profit on this, and the most interesting thing I don't remember was when there were already such big DOGE pumps, but after the messages from Elon Musk these pumps started immediately and the price of DOGE grew very powerfully.

That surprised me alittle a bit. I actually suspected something I'm not really sure about.
   Had to go through information about the coin to see if there is something new it implemented or something about it that changed for the better, i didn't see much.. I expect people like him to make informed decisions...maybe there is something he knows others don't?
Wonder if that is in anyway tied to Bitcoin. I have thought about people somehow getting paid in dogecoin for holding Bitcoin long term or something.

This is really strong point but sadly peoples not understanding this all most chances his twitter representative enjoying good benefit from this all or may be he buy some very healthy amount of this coin and now trying to sell on very high price for very good and healthy profit.

Why Elon shills for Doge? because such retail power, much wow! Dogecoin is one of the most powerful coins, people who think it's JUST a joke don't quite get it yet. It's all about the marketing power and Doge has it for sure - very strongly!

Doge has community potential to build fast pumps or pumps that last. And strong market support makes Dogecoin very easy to grow. a little sentiment from a popular figure can make Dogecoin experience growth. what I can hardly believe is the amount of increase Dogecoin has managed to achieve. however, the Elon figure is really popular.

I agree with you, because I also believe if Elon Musk is just joking and using DOGE as a joke, because as we know if DOGE coin is made to joke, that's why Elon Musk made a tweet about DOGE, but with a tweet from Elon Musk then the price of DOGE increase very high, so I hope that someday Elon Musk also tweet about altcoin that I HOLD ($ARPA) to be made a joke, so the price of altcoin that I HOLD ($ARPA) will increase very high too ;D.

Of course he can, we also have our own rights and choices which cryptocurrency we would like to shill of but the only different was Elon Musk was a popular person, now known as the world's richest man compare to us, which what we are shilling was based on our testimony, our experiences. Maybe some were speculating that Elon Musk are just having fun by shilling DOGE or having fun by using a #DOGE on his tweets but to be honest, this was a big impact to the DOGE market.

Is Dogecoin a joke?
Are the coins you own also a joke?
we have already seen how Dogecoin has experienced such a pump. but I think there is a positive view from me that Dogecoin has a very large community that allows a pump to happen when there is news from a world-famous figure. even though it's just a joke. jokes made over and over could get people interested or just find out about Dogecoin. Elon has shown us how Dogecoin actually has a very large community. which was used only to move money from one exchange to another. I think now those who hold Dogecoin are starting to consider it even if it's just a joke asset.

I don't think Elon Musk only considers Doge a joke, at least I still believe he has more than a few reasons to post his social media status, maybe he is a holder of a large number of dogecoin or maybe he has received an ad from a whale group, and by using a social media account with a large following, Elon Musk easily pushed the price of Dogecoin up in just a short time, rich people can always make money very easily with the platforms they currently have. Today he can talk about Dogecoin, tomorrow he can talk about other altcoins, perhaps following the trends of the rich can make us more profitable

but if you look at what is happening now it is like that. only a post on social media can make a doge's price go up so high. Although it is not just a game I do not think there is a clear continuation of Dogecoin's partnership with the company owned by Elon. Until recently if the community thought what Elon was doing was a joke for fun I think that's perfectly natural.

Actually Elon Musk is fully a business man. I think here also made twitter about DOGE coin just for business purpus also. When he saw that market has expand in nCOVID season, think that this is high time to make a business in crytpocurrency. So that he first buy coins in low prices then tweet as he knows that if he make tweet there would be influence in market. Ultimately that does also in market. I think nothing else about this tweet.

I think Elon Musk has personal reasons why he chose to tweet DOGE on several occasions. I'm not sure it's just a joke and just having fun. If it was just a joke and having fun, then there are already lot of altcoin he tweeted. Regardless of whether he is paid or not, shill or not then his tweet have made many investor and trader big profit from DOGE. But this is only temporary and everyone should be careful because the potential for hype-induced crash far outweigh the accomplishment the team developed for the project.

He's doing things to favor him for sure, Doge pump high after him doing the hype, expect to see more to whatever
crypto project that he'll involve himself, he have a huge numbers of followers who are trying to chase his investment
so even he's just trolling or he's doing anything under our radar there's still influenced that will affect the market the
same thing that happened lately with Doge.

I think Elon Musk is one of the richest people who does have a big influence on Dogecoin so from some of his tweets he only focuses on Dogecoin and BTC, if he is a businessman who likes crypto, of course he will tweet mentioning a few different ones. altcoin but actually he only focuses on doge, could it be that elon musk is a team member of Dogecoin? or is he a trader who actually holds a large amount of Doge coin and uses the popularity of his tweets to trigger an increase in the price of Dogecoin in the market?

I don't know if Elon Musk acquired the entire Dogecoin since Jackson Palmer is working with the project but he (Elon) publicly said hes the coin new CEO then.



You are right but the Dogecoin concept won't make the coin to have increase use and if they integrate more features to the coin it will increase the coin use case.
Alot of people don't know that Elon shill the coin because he is the coin CEO.

I see it as a small child with a magnifying glass on an ant hill.
Just frying us ant and laughing about it

I don't think this is a joke things, he might have been paid to do this, I know he is filthy rich but this act is something outrageous, I can possibly say that the first one he did on bitcoin could let him know he is already a crypto influencer and celebrity which his reaction to anything related to cryptocurrency will affect the market one way or the other, that reputation alone should let him behave mature and stop manipulating the market.

Additionally, if he keeps on repeating this act, he might be a tool where whales pay to manipulate market for their own favour by simply buying low and contact him to pump by signifying some little interest, who knows..

I think Ilon Musk really likes this coin and maybe he really wants to find applications for his future developments, or maybe he just trolls everyone...

If he just plays some fun by tweeting about Doge, does he has no goals? I mean he is a busy man and one of the most popular men in the world, he shouldn't do something repeatedly for a joke only. How if he really has a goal to treat something for Doge or for testing something for the crypto market? Who knows, bro?

Yes, maybe. Elon Musk has a good relationship with Doge, in a vote "they expect Elon to be the next CEO of Doge".  After this, Elon Musk became more active with Doge and with a humorous picture he always surprised Doge's worth.  Behind that, there are many conspiracy theories but surely Doge has created a huge trend this year.  Quick to speculate and grasp.

at one point Jackson and Elon had a meeting, by then Jackson had already left Dogecoin

https://www.coininsider.com/elon-musk-jackson-palmer/

But I think the key was the cool idea of doing a poll to elect the CEO of Dogecoin.

"We have listened to your concerns. We have decided that Dogecoin does need a CEO. Someone who can lead us into the future while maintaining the core values of what we are."

https://preview.redd.it/lbnne7bo2up21.jpg?auto=webp&s=4b7cfc6ac021c2badb2bf0a5d9fd2a3742b9860a

“Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency. It’s pretty cool,” said Musk — after winning a joke poll to be the CEO of Dogecoin. He beat the likes of Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin and Litecoin (LTC) creator Charles Lee.

https://www.coindesk.com/elon-musk-calls-dogecoin-my-fav-cryptocurrency

Elon is a weirdo. Almost inclined to say he’s a narcissist and just enjoys seeing the power he has from just tweeting bullshit.

Regardless tho, I’d like to take a moment and F U to cryptsy. I didn’t care about my ~1 million doge being lost in the exit scam at the time... But now I’m here wishing I had those coins back hah

In early 2019, Elon Musk called himself doge-coin CEO in his Twitter account so I think this will explain a lot that probably Elon Musk is already a Dogecoins holder and not just because Dogecoin was his favorite cryptocurrency or more that he was joking about it.

Maybe, because of a meme? I know that Elon Musk is always joking with his followers, he always makes any tweets to enliven his account. Not only DOGE, Elon Musk also always makes tweets about anime.

Pretty much this. Even more so, he probably sees bitcoin same as doge. I don't think he really believes in the tech etc. He is just fucking around with everything and everybody. He is the final form of a technocrat. Even Jack isn't that much out of whack.

I think it's just for fun. this is not the first time that happens, a few years ago another billionaire, the creator of Minecraft surprised with a "game" with which you could have early access by donating Dogecoins

"I was going to just release it to the people in the chat, but by the time the game was done, the stream had stopped," Notch said, "so I made a joke about 'early access' and accepted payments through Dogecoin, a crypto currency that has a definite joking edge to it. All the things referenced are things I love, and things that take things a little less than serious."

I think it's not just based on memes but fast delivery and low fees are other reasons.
although we don't know the exact reason and sometimes he also talks about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on twitter like ETH.
so I guess he supports crypto even if it's just a tweet for now.

A person like Elon Musk is very enterprising and will not miss the chance to increase their assets a little, why not make it their fame as Elon Musk? I would do exactly the same, I think everyone would like to do it, but this is a subjective point of view, it is not accurate ::)

That might be the case but it's hard to believe his twitter representative have that much of control? I mean when the tweet itself is controversial Elon should atleast oversee his own twitter activities.
The only believable theory for me is that he's just doing this out of boredom and turns out people taking it seriously and then he kinda wants to take advantage of his influence. not to mention the twitter account called wsb chairman keep tweeting about it nonstop.

^ Probably that was, and he always seeking attention to his followers to gain massive fans. We know that he is a riches man and probably we own DOGEcoin in the first place and that is the reason why he wants to pump this coin. He is a businessman after he shills the doge memes doge was pump up too much and later on it drops the price the reason could be, he already gained profit on dogecoin. Nevertheless, all of this is my personal opinion.

Being the richest man and owns one of the top corporations in the world, he has done an extensive study on what coins to shill and he finds DogeCoin as an underrated coin, so he shills it and promote it and so look at DogeCoin right now, those bag holders made a lot of profit from this shill, I wonder what will be the next coin that he is going to shill.

He shills it because he can  ;D It's another way for him to show how influential he is - he's actually made this joke coin a household name. He's probably really enjoying that ego boost.

I think the richer some people get, the more outrageous (crazy?) they get because they've lost the ability to enjoy the value of simpler pleasures

I just know this now. I thought that this is never happen before but im wrong about that. Elon keeps coming with more and more joke on his tweet about doge.
it doesn't give a lot of impact again to the price of doge.

This trend will have gone soon after people realize if it's only FOMO created to pump doge and no more. Make a tweet about doge is a thing that wanna did by elon lol.

He has a new tweet again this recent few hours and I think it has an effect on the current price of dogecoin from 0.04 to 0.05 USD now, I think this is free money even if this is a joke?

An Elon Musk is not only famous in the crypto space, but he is also famous in a series of other businesses in the world, so it is certain that he is a person who has a lot of money and is always looking for profits in making his assets even more increased.

most likely he has bought a large number of Doge coins so that he continues to make the price of Dogecoin higher like at this time Dogecoin the price continues to go up and up like the current Fomo which is so incessant for Elon Musk seems to want to make the price of Dogecoin much higher than now just see how Dogecoin is rising so fast.

I do think that he is giving doge fans a favor by being vocal about DOGE. He knows that those who invested on it will get the good increase of their investments and many will greatly profit from it. Come think of it, the richest man in the whole world talks about DOGE and the price will always go up. Giving a boost to the cryptocurrency would make the investors and traders a run for their money. Enjoy trading while it lasts, because if he stops talking about it, it will go back to the bottom.

the reason Elon Musk for the first time i think its just a joke, but later on, because of that "joke" effect the price of DOGE coin keeps increasing,
it even already reached $0.05979 as for now, i think DOGE coin prince will drop again later, but for now its still safe to keep the coin

I almost agree with you, many people have the wrong perception with everything, it does not mean that tweet he defends the doge coin hard, he could be joking by writing it because coins are widely known as meme coins

To be honest I can't stop thinking, why would anyone be affected by what Elon Musk tweeted, should they know that it will be a momentary pump and will harm some people.

There are sellers of course there are buyers, indeed the biggest trading risk is loss.  I personally feel sorry, for people who buy at a high price, because that's just a word from someone.  The increase in the price of the doge was not triggered by the function of the doge coin itself but was simply a "joke."  Excuse my personal opinion.

Its ironic how many "hate" on Dogecoin now and say its nothing...

Just like people with Bitcoin early in the day :D

You have to understand theres a whole generation now raised with constant dopamine-kicks.
It does not excite them to buy 1 bitcoin for $40k. Actually they cant.

So rather buy 1000 or 100000 Dogecoin. Dogecoin can do the exact same as Bitcoin just its
faster and cheaper and more fun.

Plus they feel like part of a movement. Maybe they will even go after Bitcoin, actually some
do already.

And I say that as a Bitcoiner. I love Bitcoin.

The happiest I saw Elon on video is when he reviewed memes. Now dogecoin being some sort of meme coin it goes in hand with him. I agree that price shouldn't be affected by his tweet but it's the time we live now.

We don't have any perfect explanation, but maybe Elon Musk is increasing his popularity. If I'm not wrong, he is the CEO of Spacex and Tesla. By helping others, he is increasing his popularity. Although this year every altcoins will pump, so maybe taking advantage of DOGE coin users. As he donated, we all have our different views.

Elon Musk is the richest person in the world right now and you think he needs other publicity to get popular  :P. Elon is active in social media and this is not the first time he tweets about cryptocurrency and doge coin was his go to coin and you cannot pin point that the price is pumping because of his tweets as he is not asking anyone to pump.

This also doesn't make sense, is it possible that just 2 tweets published by Elon Musk at that time really influenced DOGE's current rise? I still can't believe it, but considering the fact that DOGE went up significantly after Elon Musk published it on his Twitter account. or maybe just a coincidence?

Indeed, he is a market influencer, but I was just wondering why he becomes a crypto lover this time and he chooses Doge. Not knowing what is the reason why he is promoting Doge attached on his name in social media account but I don't want to spend my time digging on it.

And now, people get surprise, and they are asking why. Not to mentioned that he is investing Doge but probably he got a lot of it. That was more exciting to see what will happen to Doge coin in the coming days as it was a coincidence that the Bitcoin is also rallying high. Maybe, we can blame Elon Musk for this...

Even if it is a meme coin it's a very stable coin with a huge community, and have created a huge impact in the community, there are only a few coins that's been around long like Dogecoin, it's a meme coin that finally got attention from the richest man in the world, I have not questioning Elon Musk intention Dogecoin is an underrated coin in the market, congratulations to those bag holders they finally realize profit.

If anyone is still wondering, news just got out.  Tesla buys 1.5B USD worth of bitcoin - https://cryptonews.com/news/tesla-buys-usd-1-5b-worth-of-bitcoin-to-accept-btc-as-paymen-9161.htm. And the possibility the Elon is also buying doge is very high. This is I think the major reason why he was tweeting about bitcoin and doge in the recent days.

Yeah, it's great news about BTC, not sure if Tesla also bought DOGE though.
10% of Tesla cash sounds legit for gambling money, and he did just that.

I think he might use his personal pocket to pump DOGE, what a crazy year  ;D

Dont hate on DOGE let it pump

Doge to the moon and then Mars why not, fast transactions cheap fees
also cheap to buy for new coiners and why not, can be the lighter version of bitcoin for smaller transactions

Tesla is a big company and of course hearing the news about their investment in bitcoin in my opinion this is a little crazy, lol so immediately the pump happened BTC and DOGE, is this really going to continue so that it is even more sustainable for the current price of DOGE?
This is only 10%, how some of the basic Tesla money this year is indeed a little crazy, I'm happy to see the market moving on longer than its previous history.

Doge is just a joke coin and I think that Elon Musk tasted his influence on people. This man just told us that troll coin is a great choice and people quickly invested in it, i.e. this man showed himself to the world that he can make psychologically invaluable thing a valuable one. Doge had an 800% rise in price very quickly, that's a shame. This clearly shows that people follow others blindly. I love the fact that Doge had rise in price and even Bitcoin had a rise today after Tesla invested in Bitcoin but at the same time it's a very sad fact.
Imagine, if satoshi would create fake account and say on bitcointalk that Doge is a great coin, everyone would ignore it, even if it was backed by very strong arguemnts.

So far I see several tweet by Elon Musk only with Doge coin and bitcoin, there are not any tweet about other coin and I think Elon just care with coins without have the owner, maybe if tweet other coin and have the owner but the last become scam by lower price maybe Elon look not funny because become promoting with scam coin project, never have any tweet by Elon musk discussing with other altcoin except doge and bitcoin.

Everyone can do as long as he is able, now Elon Musk has made new experiments in the world of crypto coins that are considered trash are now blooming and are the dream of investors. Elon is the first person to dare to turn a dead coin, Dogecoin, many say he is just joking with his twett but what we do Look at the fact that Elon Musk managed to make a new experiment a good job

I doubt that Elon Musk was already invested in Doge not just only bitcoin. Maybe at first he tried to tweet just to test how he can pull up the doge and it was effective, and the second time that he tweeting about doge for sure he already invested it, he can make money on cryptocurrency easily.

It is not a "very stable coin" as you have seen in the last 1 week, it is the least stable coin you could find because it moves like crazy whenever there is a pump, and this is not the first time Elon ever pumped a coin, we have seen him pump Doge before as well, this time around he pumped BTC with it as well. However no matter how awesome the community is, how Elon pumps and shills for it, and however the hell reason it went up, we can definitely say that it is not a stable one at all, it is very volatile and it is evident from the increase.

The only thing that makes dogecoin good is the type of people that invest into it, it is not the same serious and "I want to make money asap!!" type of crowd, it is the joking around crowd which means they are not really after getting rich by buying dogecoin, they just want to take part in the fun everyone is having and that is a good reason to go up.

No on knows on whats the actual thing behind with these shills but we do know as the richest man of the world would make out significant impact into its price.

Just to look on what happened in the market when they do decide up to buy a billion worth of Bitcoin which did really make out some price bump on bitcoin itself.

Doge is still moving though and whatever reason it is, neither personal or what.This is really a good situation for those who had baghold DOGE for a very long time.
Their waiting had paid off since this meme coin did really move out.

I also doubt if person like Elon Musk do this only for profit, i mean maybe he see something useful things from Doge or either he just want to make fun of it.
Also, Now Tesla announce to invest on Bitcoin, why not Doge? Im more sure Elon just want to make fun of the memecoin while many person take hype of it.

If tesla decides to invest in doge then the investor would be raging honestly, doge coin as good as it is, still created for meme and not for investment while bitcoin was a crypto that aims to revolutionize traditional paper money and just seems more appropriate to invest to. also, not to mention that elon isn't the sole investor of tesla so it does make sense if they decide to invest to bitcoin instead.

What I think is that Elon Musk deliberately did shill for doge to get fresh funds to expand his new company (Tesla) in several places without spending a lot of caps. If you pay more attention to some of the news lately, you'll understand Elon's scenario. Moreover, when the announcement that the cryptocurrency plan accepted for the purchase of Tesla products is only bitcoin, not Doge.

i think it can be better if Elon Musk will create his own crypto that based on his huge project, SpaceX, it can be SpaceX coin may be. I'm sure that so many investors will be interested

It is impossible for Elon Musk to do FOMO without making prior preparations, they and their entire team have of course planned this, they are very easy to take profit, because they are the ones who drive and control market sentiment,
Now you don't need to hesitate if you want to buy coins for short-term trading, just wait for Elon Musk to make a word on twitter and the coin price will go to the moon.

Rich person and have bigger company around the world make Elon Musk most waiting by many people what he do next time and what his tweet every day, every one can be Elon Musk when have much money and have bigger company in the world when make some thing allow on other people, looks with Elon Musk right now he not understand about what he tweet exactly with Doge coin and cryptcourrency, so now is not happen with Elon Musk after loss every thing on his hands.

He's a well-known/richest man in the world so he can use his clout whenever he wants, knowing that he's a fan of crypto (Dogecoin to be specific) will really create a huge impact to the crypto despite knowing that DOGE was a meme-coin. He's an inventor as well and I think that's one of the reason why he's supporting cryptocurrency technology. Soon enough I think Elon will make collaborations with top tier exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, KuCoin or even DEX's like Uniswap & Sushiswap and will accept crypto transactions when buying Tesla Model cars via BTC (https://trade.kucoin.com/BTC-USDT) & ETH (https://trade.kucoin.com/ETH-USDT).

I believe that Elon Musk knows that Dogcoin will rise in value soon. And, like an ordinary person, Elon Musk is investing in the promising Dogcoin. And believe me, this is a very correct decision, the lower the price of Dogcoin now, the more Dogcoin you can buy. At the moment, cryptocurrency is becoming very popular and requires a lot of attention. So you need to follow the news and invest as much as possible in a promising crypto coin.

People take too seriously Elon Musk's tweets, there are much more valid projects with accredited news and results that make just + 10% and so a stupid post is enough to make dogecoin make absurd profits. I think that the 50% of times he did it for joke!

I think he just likes to joke around with it or did he have lots of doges...
Shortly after Elon joked about Doge on Twitter, the price of Dogecoin shot up. This year, Elon really contributed greatly to the increase in the price of Bitcoin. *true to the fact that Elon is a true pumper crypto

What a joker!!! I saw the initial spike and many people got wrecked after that as obviously nothing happened. People thought it was real and bough in DOGE only to find out that the price suddenly started moving in the other direction.

I suppose, some experimentation is all he can get. It could be a test for his future plans - perhaps, planning on extending his investments beyond BTC into Alts and wanted to see how other people reacted - no bad of reaction here with DOGE  :-\

That is the issue, many people look up to him as a mentor and imitate whatever he does; I mean, he is the world's richest man. He should be mindful of what he posts or tweets. It was crucial when he started, but now, I don't think it's right (IMO). It's kind of misleading because nobody knows which tweet is a joke or serious.

Little did we know that Elon is really a bitcoin fanboy and not with Doge.

He is simply using the Doge to do some leverage, and see how his simple tweet and shilling will affect the market. And he is really successful doing it as Doge price really went off the roof. However, with his admittance of buying bitcoin, I'm sure there will be no weight for his Doge tweet anymore. People are going to buy bitcoin because he himself have invested $1.5 billion. So Doge will continue to be a meme coin and from here on in, it will be used by a lot of pump and dump groups.

He shilled, that's the bottomline, and he shilled because he's memeing around. There's no future in DOGE besides it being a very good stablecoin and a meme token, and because it's a meme token Elon, a memer himself, decided to talk about it on his twitter account. That's it everybody, Elon is not as calculated as some of you guys think he is and at times may think like the average Facebook shitposter. There's no way Doge will become as valuable as any other coin in the market today. The coin is meant to be a meme token, and a stablecoin. Stablecoins have a different nature and environment than bitcoin and other cryptos, so things like buying the dump will not work because it will always be dumping, especially in the case of DOGE.

I'm sure he is, he is both an investor and a business-minded guy, he knows how to start and what to do, we never know but he might have some coins and tokens already, that we never know, I believe Elon Musk is going to be a major player in the industry and he will become a better version of McAfee, I just hope he will not accept offers coming from dubious and weak projects that just need hype.

I also don't know the real reason Elon Musk did this, but I think Elon Musk did shill for Doge just for entertainment. Because initially Elon Musk got
DOGE from a gift from his friend, then he played on Twitter and it turned out that people's enthusiasm was quite high. Finally, based on the experiment
he conducted, it proved successful, making Elon Musk interested in DOGE. And until now he keeps on doing it, if the shilling for DOGE right now is not
for experiment anymore. But Elon Musk is serious about making the DOGE price pump, because now Elon Musk uses his own money to invest in DOGE.

I seriously don't know what's going on inside Elon's head, I have a feeling that he's just tripping us to buy some doge but I also have a feeling that he's just an innocent soul that became a fan of a specific coin. I just don't know how to feel with him being a doge fan but I guess he's going to help the coin pump atleast.

Other celebs are doing the same but with bitcoin, which I don't quite since they just want to ride the flow.

Just late one minute after his tweet I sold my doge coin under lower price, I think if I canceled my order selling could get more than $1000 last night, I have put notification showed on my twitter when Elon make new tweet, but I late after seeing Doge coin have pump exactly few minutes after his tweet, still waiting price doge down and selling with higher price because he make tweet every time in one week about doge coin.

He is doing it because he likes too. Freedom of information ;)
He is doing it on social media where anybody can say anything anytime they want and many people can see it.

Besides, he is probably joking about his tweets because after all DOGE is just a meme/joke coin and will always be like that. He can shill anything that he wants. It will depend on his supporters if they will react to it or not. Since he started shilling it, I didn't tried to buy it not because I'm too late for it but its just that I don't really want to involve into it.

Indeed, even I was confounded by the thing that was occurring because out of nowhere he posted and tweeted a couple of times about DOGE. Furthermore, who might have thought? Hmmm.. how ideally with BTC (https://trade.kucoin.com/BTC-USDT) too, I'm certain brokers like me will be happy as well. Haha But you're right, it's BTC, regardless of whether it's not being shilled and hype, it just can't be ignored.

I think if I'm not mistaken he himself said that cryptocurrency might be the future currency of interplanetary exploration in the future. Considering how versatile cryptocurrencies are it's really possible and since spaceX is all about technology implementing blockchain not gonna be hard for them.
I guess it's just matter of time until spaceX or whatever future company elon gonna create implements cryptocurrencies.

Doge is an affordable coin that really works. Elon Musk can show many people that the future belongs to cryptocurrency and it's time to stop being afraid to invest in it. Mr. Musk has repeatedly stated that he likes Dogecoin, and as we all saw Doge coins, many liked it.

Elon Musk only think how to get much profit with some coin without have owner of coin he buy, like doge with anonym owner make him easy to get much profit different with trx or other coin because the owner could make coin dump before he sell. Doge become easy for pump by Elon without any people could make price down before he sell, so its look happy for Elon Musk and easy how to make coin become pump and dump when he want.

Elon Musk plays on crowd behavior. He will definitely benefit from his tweets and investments. But will those who followed his example benefit if the hype ends and the coin depreciates? In any case, the situation is interesting and how it all ends is also interesting.

To be honest I just think logically, because I don't think there is anything special about the Doge coin being made.

I don't think Elon Musk is too serious in saying that Doge is a good coin, it looks like he's just kidding, but a lot of people take it too seriously, so many people buy Dogecoin and take the opportunity, that's why a famous person like Elon Musk has such a big impact in the crypto world

ohh it's a shame if this moment can't be used properly by you, both before and after the DOGE price increase. But I still can't believe it despite the fact that Elon Musk really had such a big influence on cryptoqurrency, especially on DOGE coin back then. Even when the OP says that Elon Musk only has around 0.25 BTC but vice versa, he pumps elusive coins like DOGE.

Recently, information was posted on the network that Elon Musk invested a fairly large amount in Doge Coin and thereby made a gift for his son. On the one hand, such an investment will in any case affect the rating of Doge coin, but at the same time, one must take into account the fact that Elon Musk will not buy shitcoin, which means that Doge coin really has real prospects for the future.

Thats because he wants to become part of memes.doge is a name that used to troll and fun.maybe that's why elon mask select this dogecoin for entertainment among thousands of cryptocurrency.but after getting the public attention and seeing the positive movement of Dogecoin, he decided to do the same fun again and again.i assume, he is going to do the same thing with others altcoin too that's because thus he make hype and earn money but need be careful cause those altcoins that could crash anytime

I don't think Elon Musk tweets about dogecoin with the intention of joking. Rather, he promotes it so that more and more people will buy it. Although he is not the first person to promote dogecoin, some well-known TikTok celebrities have done this before.

We shouldn't buy any coin at the recommendation of such a celebrity.
