Personal opinion --- Musk is guilty of Bitcoin "pump and dump".<p>Secondary opinion --- Musk is not the problem; he is just the messenger --- an indicator of the problem.<p>The real problem is the fact that Bitcoin is not really a currency at all. It is just one facet of an unregulated get rich quick scheme driven by pure speculation and built around the fiction that stablecoins are fully backed by fiat. More than half of all crypto trades involve stable coins.<p>Everything Musk has done is also being done by the "exchanges" and others on a daily basis --- just in a more subtle manner.<p>Attacking the messenger won't solve the problem --- at best it will just obscure it's existence for a while longer.
Funny how when elon musk tweet send btc price up there wasn’t anyone crying about price manipulation. Maybe if one person can manipulate a nebulous product so much perhaps it had little value to begin with
Elon Musk has not changed since his PayPal days when I started to hear about him. He's always tried to milk the system, he never played fair, and he's always been too full of himself. This didn't change just recently and Anonymous are just sorry losers.
> There are plenty of other companies working on space exploration and electric vehicles you are just the only CEO who has gained a cult following through sh*tposting and trolling the world on social media.<p>Clearly Musk is neither famous nor admired just because of “trolling”. He’s famous because of repeatedly making bold bets and pulling otherwise stagnant industries forward (like cars and rocketry). Both Tesla and SpaceX are hugely successful and are forcing everyone else to rethink their R&D. Other companies following Musk’s lead as latecomers doesn’t diminish Musk’s critical role in changing those industries.<p>> It appears that your quest to save the world is more rooted in a superiority and savior complex than it is in actual concern for humanity.<p>This is self serving, convenient speculation. It is a high school insult wrapped in bigger words.<p>> You may think you are the smartest person in the room, but now you have met your match. We are Anonymous! We are legion. Expect us.<p>This letter is ultimately a thinly veiled threat, and the actions undertaken by “hacktivists” are plainly illegal. I hope governments take notice and take action against this collective and others like Distributed Denial of Secrets.
Why do people expect stability from a currency that was designed to be unstable?<p>It's probably a bad idea to piss off tjat many criminals at once. Musk is becoming like a Batman.
