I think BTC prices have been following Elon's tweet recently. He said Tesla will no longer accept btc and btc instantly crumbled down almost %50.
And it's not only btc. Everyone knows by now DOGE's phenomenon. Went but %21,000, thanks to Elon.
So I'm wondering, what if he tweets rights now "we are back accepting btc as a payment method". Or, more realistically he names a crypto currentcy no one looks at, sitting in the back all lonely and sad talking about "no one wants to play with me" and then comes along Elon and mentions it's name and all of sudden it's a superstar everyone wants to get a piece of. Would you too? You waiting on a tweet?

People generally don't like market manipulation so I'd expect it to fall further as well as his company's stock price...
People are forgetting doge was being pumped prior to him and had already got quite far up - a bunch of people mightve invested by seeing what the return had been previously.

He probably won't be able to move the price now, the boy who cried wolf and all that. Elon is a dirtbag, I don't want him being able to move the price at all anyway.
He was also only a bit of the FUD thrown at us, the market definitely didn't drop so much just because of him.

I think this wouldn't have any effect on the market right now and surely people who still haven't realizes that he is manipulating them would surely see it now if he tweets about it. And people would surely stop on following his advice or tweets regarding to cryptocurrency so he probably wouldn't do it.

If people followed the idea of Bitcoin instead of such spoiled rich people, then his tweets would mean nothing. But as things stand, his flock on Twitter is only increasing (currently 56.1 million sheep) which is 2 million more than a few weeks ago - which tells us that he has not lost the support of all those who supported him before manipulative tweets. It is my opinion that such a tweet would certainly have a positive effect on the price - people really don't care about anything other than to profit, and after a few days of cheap prices a mini bull run would certainly come in handy. I think we are at a stage where people are waiting for something to happen and probably many think "EM screwed us up, it would be okay to correct it - please EM tell us you love BTC again" ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Elon would look like a fool if he reverses his decision in such short time yet again. If Tesla will start accepting BTC again, it will happen after a few years minimum. And Elon said about enviromental concerns, which means that until people won't stop saying that Bitcoin mining consumes too much dirty electricity, he won't be able to return to accepting BTC without facing criticism.

In the past six months, Musk impersonators have scammed consumers out of $2 million, according to the Federal Trade Commission. Clearly, this shows that Musk's control of crypto markets extends to imitators as well. And we shouldn't expect Musk's influence on the markets to disappear anytime soon. Boosting Bitcoin's price with a tweet may not be as fraught as boosting the stock price of his own company, but it's certainly not fair that one person has that power.

If I write now that the price will rise and the price will rise, does this mean that I am the reason? Absolutely not, just as the price did not change except with the behavior of individuals who own Bitcoin. Tesla's buying of Bitcoin is the reason Bitcoin has gone up and sold is the reason for the price rebound. Elon Musk's tweets affect only those with weak hands, and they are few. Unfortunately, many whales are taking advantage of these tweets to get bitcoin at a low price.

He probably knows that he cannot do it anymore. People will no longer play dumb if he does that. Whether there will be a positive effect that shall happen when he do it, still there could be an impact to the stock prices of his companies.
$40k I guess could be the price that it can reach if he announces it. But I'm thinking that it will go down as quick as it can if it reaches $40k again.

Fake Musks have been using his name for years, it's nothing new - maybe just the amount is something that goes beyond the usual. People who can't tell the real from a fake profile are really easy targets, especially if they believe that someone is sharing free money by first asking for x, to get us back xx - this can only happen to people with very low IQs. According to research, in the first three months of this year, about $18 million was stolen in this way - what else to say but that scammers have a real little paradise in the crypto world.
He probably knows that he cannot do it anymore.
He knows now is not the time for good news, it's time to accumulate as many coins as possible - and does anyone doubt that he won't try to pump the price again? The saying goes that everything is allowed in love and in war, and to that we can add business and profit.

So I'm wondering, what if he tweets rights now "we are back accepting btc as a payment method". Or, more realistically he names a crypto currentcy no one looks at, sitting in the back all lonely and sad talking about "no one wants to play with me" and then comes along Elon and mentions it's name and all of sudden it's a superstar everyone wants to get a piece of. Would you too? You waiting on a tweet?
I imagine it could have some impact, maybe even a 20% -25% jump in price, but not nearly as much as the first time. People don't like manipulators and Musk seems to be just that, an ordinary manipulator who uses his social status for personal gain.

He is taking us all for a ride if he suddenly makes a big switch and people will not believe him anymore but the price of Bitcoin will bounce back if he does this, he made a big disruption in the market and it's hard for him to correct it if he will support Cryptocurrency he might as well love Bitcoin instead of hating it, he gets the wrong information that Doge is better than Bitcoin

I Will wait for the reaction of the community and start buying if the community still follows Elon Musk's shill, this is a good opportunity to make quick money, people are still on a lookup for the next coin that Musk is going to tweet, hopefully, this time he will tweet a coin that's worth shilling, with usage and a platform that majority of people should be using.

Sad to say many still follow what elon thinks thats why we see a huge changes once he tweet. Although its awful to see people makes him as a basis of market movement but since there's a opportunity I choose to follow the trend but one thing I hope is hopefully we can overcome his influence so that we can see the bitcoin price grows organically.

first of all you shouldn't even begin to compare bitcoin with a shitcoin because the same shitcoin has been having thousand percent pumps in the past too without Elon just with simple hypes and a good pumping team. this is nothing new. they also always follow that up with a big dump which is repeating too.
secondly Elon has lost credibility and also he didn't affect the bitcoin price in his first attempt that much let alone affect it now that he is known as a scammer by the bitcoin community.
and finally bitcoin is going to go up eventually. obviously if the FUD ends it will start rising sooner.

Nothing is going to happen if Elon Musk twitted about bitcoin again, trust is not something that you can play with, which is precisely what he has been doing, people for lack of better options were following him and did everything he said only to find out they were being lead on and they lost a fortune because of him. Do you really think those people are going to listen to him now? I will not be surprised if instead what we see is a complete boycott to him and every single company that he owns coming from the community.

The saying goes that everything is allowed in love and in war, and to that we can add business and profit. Absolutely right. While the market and its people is busy with their own thoughts how long this correction will stay. He and his cohorts might already be accumulating as much as they can and would love to pump it again with such good news. He's already given some hint about having a discussion with mining facility owners and with Michael Saylor.

Probably a case of Fool me once.... Its far harder to ramp at this point and quite pointless to run against momentum or any will to sell with hallow hype. If Elon wants to do anything real related to crypto then great, love to hear it but most people are tired of empty nonsense and I hope he amounts to more then that if his normal business or thats alot of money wasted. Its probably the case anyway that TSLA is peaked in meta anyhow. They had front runner advantage and literally other companies must pay him for leading the charge, great he is the avant guarde and all credit to him for that but his time may have passed. Does everyone here really doubt Toyota, Ford all the German brands and every other major car maker cant come up with good solutions for electric cars, laws are changing rapidly and the larger the firm the greater the lead time in their development process but I think the lag is declining in their development such that TSLA declines in its influence and premium.

I don't think he will ever accept BTC as payment for his cars. In that small period where he allowed BTC for payments how many people do you actually think bought a car with BTC? Probably less than 100 or even less than 50. If someone wants a tesla, they will just sell their BTC and buy it with fiat instead. I don't think they will sell more cars just because they accept BTC.
BTC went up because they bought $1.5B worth on their balance sheet. And price at the time was $33K and looked like it was going to go down. However his investment made price go up to $40K. Because now everybody is thinking that Apple, Facebook and other companies will start to invest in BTC. However that is not looking like the case right now.

Not gonna do anything, at best its gonna pump the market a little bit, the real players are those whale manipulators and institutional investors tesla exluded Even if you see his recent shilling of doge literally affect so little he has somewhat lost his influence, and thats exactly what he get for playing thousands of people like a fiddle. The market better off without that manipulation though as it's good for long term, manipulation like that only good for short term and its gonna create bubble and eventually it pops.
