Tesla no longer accepts Bitcoin payments

[Gatorelf]

Elon sure has a lot of power lol

[macson]

where will the Bitcoin price go after this tweet?  this further convinced me that elon is a true crypto market manipulator.  after shill doge and shiba now it's Bitcoin turn.

In conspiracy terms: A Shill is a person who is pretending to agree with a conspiracy and intentionally circulates false information or acts totally insane in an effort to discredit said conspiracy. Shills are often thought to be hired by the government but don't necessarily have to be.

and now it's peter's turn to insult "the weak hand Elon"

[thecodebear]

If John McAfee and Martin Shkreli had a baby... it would be Elon Musk!

He's just a glorified pump and dumper that sells big dreams to "smart" people who are actually delusional as fuck.  I've thought that about tesla for some time now.



It's a bad sign when a "global currency" is so dependant on a bunch of fruitloops on social media.  I think we are going to see all the positive attention get turned against Bitcoin for a little bit... prepare for articles like "Mark Cuban warned his players about converting their salary to crypto and saved them millions" or "Gary Vee donates 50% of his Unregistered Security NFT's to "Save The Whales" and "Tranny Children Lifes Matters" in protest of Bitcoin!"

Cuban already replied to Musk's tweet with a pro-Bitcoin (and crypto in general) tweet.

Anyone who panic sells on something as small as one company not accepting Bitcoin for the time being weren't going to hold their coins for long anyways, and some of those coins are moving to stronger hands now, making the $40,000s and $50,000s an even stronger bottom now.

Elon has bought into all the nocoiner/shitcoiner propaganda. I don't really get why so many people treat this clown like he is some sort of god. He's just another greedy scammer looking for attention. It was just a few days ago that SpaceX started accepting dogecoin, which also is proof of work, but they have yet to stop accepting it. It is blatant hypocrisy. All this FUD about the environment is laughable. He is just concern trolling to cover up his market manipulation.

he seemed to have succeeded in bringing the opinion that was on him to be known by many people to do things that might have a clear purpose that could benefit him and his company. but we cannot cover the fact that everyone has carried away with the opinion that he always gives.
even though everyone already knows the goal but why are there still many people who are sometimes amazed by what is being done.
Is it because other people also do not have the confidence that can be reversed with the opinion that is always made by an @elonmusk, of course this is extraordinary.

We should all know by now Elon Musk is a lot like Donald Trump, both are prone to tweeting the craziest shite
like a bipolar junkie strung out on crack. Probably has to do with his Asperger's syndrome.

Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.[6] It is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD),[11] but differs from other ASDs by relatively unimpaired language and intelligence.[12] Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and unusual use of language are common.[13][14] Signs usually begin before two years of age and in many cases never resolve.

Michael Saylor also has a lot of power on bitcoin and also the biggest whales. They can influence the bitcoin economy and it appears Elon’s actions might create the beginning where they can also influence development.

This is because of bitcoin’s monetary policy. The whales will have the economic advantage and influence over everyone.

In the last bull run in 2017, we've seen McAfee shilling some ICO's at that time. Version 1.0
Now another bull run 2021, another shiller in the name of Elon Musk did the same thing that McAfee did 4 years ago. Version 2.0
What is their similarities?? They have a huge reach and they are very popular and this is what a famous person can do when they speak anything.

Now is the time for Peter Schiff to say things to Elon with this movement that he made and because of this news, Bitcoin dumped to around $50,000 and altcoins dumped alongside with it too. One day Elon is very optimistic about Bitcoin that he bought some of it and another day is a day where he will say bad things to it. He probably has mood swings like me .

Oh well, another buying opportunity at least. Say thanks to Elon Musk the Shiller of 2021.

I find it frustrating that Elon can so quickly jump from supporting Bitcoin to bashing it with poorly researched facts. That man must have some mood swings or something, and I wish he just stopped talking about crypto so the market could return to normal.

He is little by little starting to manipulate the market in his own moves for his secret motives. His tweets will benefit him and his supporters aren't aware of that. He's now manipulating and uplifting Dogecoin and trying to leave Bitcoin behind. I guess it's the best time to go against his tweets and manipulations.

[jseverson]

Wait, people are actually surprised about this? Lol. I'm guessing the Bitcoin community wasn't as accommodating to him as the Dogecoin community, which has basically hailed him as their overlord. Either way, Bitcoin has never needed him or Tesla; I just hope he keeps Bitcoin out of his ego trips from now on.

But hey, the good news is it seems like he's prepared to go all out on pumping Dogecoin, so people who want to make a quick profit can probably jump on that (until he inevitably turns heel again) lol.

[Rruchi man]

It is very obvious that Elon musk has a plan. In some days to come , we will know the plan he has. But i highly suspect that this is another scheme to help pump doge coin. Maybe he has converted all or most of his btc to doge coin and is just waiting for some days before he tweets something about doge. If he suddenly tweets that tesla will accept doge coin, the effect is bound to be seen on the price of doge that might go up, that will be good for him especially because he will make billions from the pump.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

I knew something nasty is coming as he was critical about his pet coin Doge during a recent interview and i knew we are going to witness something that would derail the Bitcoin market as well and now he did it with a bang and said he is looking for alternatives that are not using energy to mine and the news of Tesla no longer accepting Bitcoin payments had a major impact on the entire cryptocurrency market  .

[Timelord2067]

Perhaps it was a part of EM's overall strategy to then step in with a combined solar panel + mining rig that he can sell to the masses to "cleanly" mine bitcoins.  Sometimes it's worth sitting back and waiting for "the bigger picture" (especially as the quoted text implies he's HODLing his bitcoin bag into the future.

[Anonylz]

I just saw this on a Telegram group and luckily this thread was created,  I must say Elon Musk is the biggest joker there is, his he really serious or what! How the hell he just suddenly dawn on him that btc mining involves using fossil fuel, something that has been extensively discussed and can be found by just a quick search on the Internet,

This guy is very unpredictable,  he is truly a player taking the crypto community for granted, can't believe am reading this, I bet dogecoin is the big alternative to btc lol, well played Elon.

[Alucard1]

It really shows how Elon Musk influence a lot of people, there are so many people who believe on him because of his status in life as the richest man in the world related to cryptocurrency, so whatever he tweets on Twitter, a lot of people will trust him. he is really manipulating the market from doing things like that. Maybe it is the reason why the value of bitcoin as of now is decreasing, I think he is really pushing Dogecoin to the moon, this guy really sucks, he should stop what is he doing, but I don't think that there is someone who can stop him from what he wants to do, that is really how powerful Elon Musk is.

Considering how many forum fanatics have been attacking him over the past month, with petty irrational complaints,
the only thing that surprises me is he waited this long.  

I mean how long does someone have to insult you, before you give them a good whack to shut them up.

Look at this guy's topics, he has done nothing but insult Elon for weeks like it was his only purpose in life.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=192131;sa=showPosts
Funny one of his last topic claimed he put everything in BTC.
I wonder if he wished he kept his mouth shut now.

 

[Darker45]

Now, this is plain hypocrisy, all these environmental talks. I mean he's got large factories in different parts of the world, selling cars primarily made up of aluminum which is basically coming from bauxite ore which is most probably unsustainably mined in many parts of the world, uses car batteries which are produced using a lot of resources and energy, funding space explorations which cost a lot of fuel, and so on. As a matter of fact, electric cars being more environmentally friendly is still being questioned until now. And now, he talks of pulling out support from Bitcoin in the name of the environment?

Anyway, the fate of Bitcoin does not depend on Elon's tweet or idea.

[mk4]

So Elon Musk, one of the biggest innovators of our age, seems to just somewhat realize that Bitcoin uses electricity (regardless of opinions on Bitcoin's energy usage). It's either he's being somewhat threatened by the government(probably far-fetched), or he's totally disingenuous.

And I thought the DOGE pumping thing was shady. smh Elon. And does he realize that DOGE actually also uses PoW?

[Teleken]

So the bigger question is - what to do at this moment? Just HODL? What's going to happen in the next 12-24 hours? Is it worth selling now and picking up tomorrow morning or is that likely to just backfire so just HODL?

How ironic that someone who supports bitcoin will suddenly leave it behind.

Can we conclude that Tesla is a traitor and it just made a fake hype so that bitcoin investors will support their projects?

Hoping that other companies or big businesses will not surrender from bitcoin, it is really hard to think that some companies are doing it just for the sake of their own good and reputation.
