DOGE surges as Twitter change its website icon to Doge

[lobo13hf]

still baffles me how much influence elon still had over the cryptocurrency space considering the fact that after series of shilling many still considers elon to be something like their financial decision.
i guess even if elon said that this coin is shit then many will also consider it shit and the value would be gone over the course of night which is ridiculous.

A thing that was done was extreme enough to make it seem like he could do it like before He even changed the twitter logo even though it was his but it's kinda childish lol. Let's hope the logo doesn't change again because it could lower the price of doge again lol.
Regardless it looks like he has gone back to trying to lift this coin as he wished but still I don't think something like this would be of much use even if the current effect is pretty good but this is only temporary and the coin he raised again went down in the end.

I don't know how long the Doge logo will remain on Twitter, but until now, Doge has remained the longest as its icon.
He does what he wants, of course, what he owns is his right, but can this be called market manipulation because of his influence, causing prices to go up again because of this? Of course all the doge community wants Elon Musk to make an impact on his tweets again but I feel careful when doge will drop more sharply.

Still, this meme coin is Elon Mush's toy, when he talks about this coin, the price will go up and many people say that Elon has done his thing.

Well, when talking about manipulation and relating it to Doge and Elon, I don't think this is the first time and I'm not too surprised about something like this because he is a specialist in this matter. But in this condition it really doesn't matter too much if someone wants to take advantage of the momentum, it's just that I'm still quite worried about some new people and those who just join in on this because when the time runs out and they don't leave sooner then they will be fell and got stuck there.

Or is it has something to do with the matter of Elon's lawsuit in regard to market manipulation with Dogecoin?

Well we know how much Elon power is to certain crypto so no wonder when Twitter changes its logo Dogecoin surges 20%. As investors, we shouldn't FOMO just because it surges 20% since it can be a temporary price increase. Manipulation is not new in crypto just like the government manipulates many crypto assets so they can buy the crypto at a discount rate.

For sure, it's another April fools' joke. You know Elon Musk, since before, he really making fun of Dogecoin.
I believe that after this, he will do it again. For sure a lot of bots made a lot of profits for this, I believe that there are a lot of bots waiting on every tweet of Elon Musk and these bots are auto-buying dogecoins.

If it was an April fools joke, it should be put on 1st April only and then it will be removed the next day but we are already on the 4th of April and the Doge logo is still there. Maybe Elon Musk did really mean this because he already have some experience on using the coin on some of his businesses before. That too is not a joke but anyway, joke or not, many doge investors, supporters and bot users won't really care at all because what is important for them is they are earning on this news.

For the regular Twitter users, I think they are annoyed when sudden changes like this occur. I still prefer the old logo of Twitter. I find it cuter than this new Dog/Doge logo.

This is insanity.
Why in the world would any serious businessman would do this? It seems that at this point Twitter is just a toy for Elon Musk to mess with rather than a way for him to made money off. It is not even April 1th anymore.

It is a private company owned by Elon Musk and he shelled out $44 billion and if he wants to change the logo, so be it and it is a kind of promotion for the cryptocurrency market as well as people who are not even in this space will try to learn about the change in logo which is an advertisement which is unprecedented.

Imagine serious people from around the world login on their accounts to see that, not even mentioning that this does not help the case against his alleged inside trading accusations.

Richest person in the world and the allegation of making money by inside trading .

I do not have anything against the concept of private company and anyone doing whatever their want with their own money and their own businesses, but he seems to imply he can do whatever he wants with Twitter and people will just go along with it, because Twitter does not have a serious competitor for now.

When there is no competence is when we start to see these circuses appear.  
There are better ways to advertise Bitcoin and altcoins.

Also, only because someone has a ton of money does not mean they cannot commit financial crimes or are subjected to infractions, one can easily find several examples of financial crimes carried by people who were set for life.

While it still applied, you can directly visit https://twitter.com/ to see it. Or if it already changed, here is the archive: https://archive.is/flHAn

As per CoinGecko, it is up almost 20%, in the meantime. Upon checking further, I can not find any news regarding it. Does anyone know the reason behind it? Does Elon just playing around?

Or is it has something to do with the matter of Elon's lawsuit in regard to market manipulation with Dogecoin?

He has also posted a meme about it here: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1642962756906418176

And by the time I'm writing this, the logo is still there and hasn't been changed, I wonder what is his motive behind this. If it's about the lawsuit, I don't think that this is going to help him in any way, and if he is just trolling the authorities then this can get dirty I believe unless he can use his money power to turn things around if that works.

However, whatever the reason is behind this, the people who might have bought and stored doge must be enjoy these times as their tokens have gained a significant value in these couple of days.

As a meme-based cryptocurrency, DOGE has always had a strong community following. The recent surge in its price after Twitter changed its website icon , the dog breed associated with DOGE, is a testament to the power of online communities and viral marketing. However, it's important to remember that DOGE's price is highly volatile and influenced by a variety of factors, so investors should approach it with caution.

Wasnt aware about that changed icon, whether it would really be that true or not, the real deal on here that shows that Elon could really make out significant movement of a certain coin whenever he do make out some shill or tweet out it which is something not that surprising. This is why whenever he do make out some tweet, then people do really look after that if there would be some hints or
whatsover thats connected to any coin because if it does then for sure it would really be having those pumps which is something that new anymore.
This had been always the common impression.

There’s a huge risk here so deal with care because Elon can change his mind anytime and it happened already before for sure, the price will be more volatile. The hype of Elon to DOGE is very influential, by just changing the logo of the twitter the price reacts on this, what will happen to DOGE if twitter backs its old logo? That can be more worst.

it's true we have to be careful in this matter, elon can throw away doge at any time like he did before,
the twitter logo will return to how it was before i'm sure and doge will experience a decline and stop at a certain price

It has really, a reason why we couldn't think that it will collapse. The more it was talked about on social media, and promoted by influencers, the more it gains momentum and price spike, and that is how social media affect the mindset of the people. Now, it was still to know that Dogecoins has a huge chance to grow during the bull season and I believe that people are expecting much from it just like how they see before. Though there is no strong participation of Elon Musk, this project still have the roam for another ATH in the coming days.

All smoke and mirrors from a known troll.  At this point outside of greed why would you put your money into doge.  It is the single most manipulated coin out there.  Elon can drag that thing up or down on a string whenever he likes.  The stress in having one guy say one sentence which can alter your portfolio is insane. 

[Rasa nanas]

Oh my goodness, what Elon Musk did? He's just so hilarious!

Now, I understand why the price of dogecoin went up today. Fact that he does things just because he can. He even promised to change the Twitter logo to a doge before - and it looks like he's keeping that promise!

I think he should think again to live up to his words because he bought most of Twitter stock ain't cheap. Changing the logo is not an ordinary matter because the logo is related to the identity of the company and people know Twitter uses a bird logo, not a dog.

[Psynthax]

5 days in to the april and I doubt this changing of logo could still be considered as april joke because it's way past the day of the april joke.
I guess elon is either really favour doge so much that he's willing to put it as a logo in his billions dollar platform or he just trying to manipulate the market no one knows for sure but what matters is that, this joke of his, could really influence the meme coin hugely.

[mich]

Well I think there was many of us who did think this was just a joke. I think the website icon was changed on April Fools day so we have every reason to think it was just a prank by Elon Musk.

I did not think he would keep this icon up for this long. I wonder to myself if it is a permanent move or he will take it down. It is now almost 1 week of no blue bird so starting to think we might expect some more news from Elon Musk favorite coin doge.

[Silberman]

While it can be disconcerting it is not as if we lack an explanation for it, dogecoin is a shitcoin, many do not like to admit this but is the truth, and this means there is not really any fundamental reason why it has such a high value, however since people keep buying it and the demand is high then it can still keep itself as one of the top coins we have on this market, but this means the coin is susceptible to be manipulated, and with Elon being as powerful as he is then manipulating the price of dogecoin is not difficult at all for him.

[Bay_Harbour_Butcher]

I think whatever Elon Musk does for Doge (promotes it) will not change Doge Coin for the better, when Elon did that, Doge Coin did rise from 0.077$ to 0.1$ and now it has decreased to 0.085$ in my opinion this continues happened and there are still many people who are being fooled, Elon only sees Doge as a toy

[OgNasty]

I never saw it but I did see pictures of the DOGE logo on twitter. I didn’t think it was real to be honest but today I read that the bird icon is back. Apparently that means it did really happen. I thought it was most likely me hearing about a late April fool’s joke. Maybe that’s even what it was… Weird regardless.

[mich]

Well now look like I have said it too soon. Now Twitter has removed the doge logo from the application. And the price of doge coin has fallen 9% in the last 24 hours so again Elon Musk is controlling price of his favorite coin.
