The billionaire American businessman responded to a Twitter thread speculating about his Dogecoin holdings with the message: “I have not and will not sell any Dogecoins.” This move of Elon Musk immediately caused Dogecoin to increase in value after many days of falling. Earlier, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX posted on Twitter a photo of a laptop with a $1 bill sticker on it with the caption: “How many Doge’s in the window.” If you look closely, you can see that this bill has a picture of a Shiba Inu dog, the symbol of Dogecoin, in place of President George Washington. Elon Musk’s post on Twitter (Image: Twitter) This is the second time this week that Elon Musk has publicly expressed support for cryptocurrencies, after making an announcement on Twitter that Tesla would hold onto its Bitcoins as the market shows signs of a market crash. Earlier, Elon Musk faced criticism from social media users when some suggested that he sold his Bitcoins when its price peaked in the market. Elon Musk responded by tweeting that the electric car company has a “Diamond Hand,” referring to traders who hold stocks when prices fall with the goal of making long-term profits. The drop in cryptocurrency value over the past few days is said to have started after Elon Musk posted an announcement saying that Tesla was temporarily suspending Bitcoin as payment for its car orders, due to concerns about the risk of loss of money. Bitcoin mining will have a bad effect on the environment. Since then, however, he has repeatedly said that the company will keep its Bitcoins and will allow the use of the cryptocurrency to trade again when mining becomes more stable. Elon Musk announced that he will not sell Tesla’s Bitcoin (Image: Twitter) According to the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance, the Bitcoin industry’s annual energy consumption is on par with that of a country the size of Malaysia. And most of the mining is located in regions of China, where electricity is produced cheaply by coal-fired power plants. Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin at the end of 2020 when the price of each Bitcoin was below $20,000 and sold 10% in early 2021 when the price of this virtual currency reached $50,000/Bitcoin, earning on a profit of 101 million USD.

However, in the comments section, the artists showed a lack of basic knowledge about cryptocurrencies. After receiving many reactions, on the morning of May 12, the posts on the website simultaneously “evaporated”. “This is an advertising campaign” Duong Nguyen Huy, owner of a cryptocurrency trading community in Vietnam, said that the series of artists posting about cryptocurrencies is an advertising campaign, because the shared content is the same. both the image and the spelling, no different from a semicolon. “Artist’s posts have started to have an impact. From official accounts (with green ticks), information is widely spread on the Internet, becoming a topic of discussion at offices and cafes. coffee after only a few hours”, Mr. Huy said that this campaign has attracted the attention of many people. Posts promoting cryptocurrencies by many famous people in Vietnam. Photo: Huynh Loc. Not only Dogecoin, Shiba Inu also increased in price thanks to Tesla CEO. On May 7, responding to a Twitter user’s comment, Musk said “looking for a Shiba dog”. Immediately after this statement, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin rose sharply. After just a few days, the price of Shiba Inu has increased by almost 40 times. With nearly 400,000 billion SHIB coins in circulation, the market capitalization at one point surpassed the 20 billion USD mark. Besides, according to Mr. Huy, the cryptocurrency market has many potential risks. For example, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a sharp decline in the period from 2018 to early 2020 regardless of whether it is Bitcoin or Ethereum. However, the artist’s posts on the evening of May 11 did not have any risk warnings. Because of the ambiguity, need the prestige of the celebrity In the list of cryptocurrencies posted by the artists, in addition to the animal names, there is a different coin, placed in the middle of the list is FXT Token. Unlike the other cryptocurrencies on the list advertised by the artists, FXT Token is an anonymous coin. “Anonymous is because it is not listed by big and reputable exchanges, but can only be purchased through small exchanges. The total transaction volume of this coin is only about 500,000 USD/day. That means anyone with about 200,000 USD will also can manipulate its price,” analyzed Dinh Tran, co-founder of a blockchain investment fund in Ho Chi Minh City. Meanwhile, other coins on the list of artists listed have daily transactions from a few hundred million to several billion dollars a day. “Putting FXT Token into the list of worth investing in is very ignorant. It is this ambiguity that makes FXT Token need to rely on celebrity advertising,” said Mr. Dinh. The artist’s post is then captured, shared immediately in multi-level groups, calling for investment. Talk to Zing , the founder of the largest Crypto information platform in Vietnam, said that FXT Token is trying to borrow the influence of celebrities to reassure investors and create fear of missing out (FOMO) to blow. price of this currency. As a result, screenshots of posts by Vietnamese artists were widely shared by the FXT Token community in hundreds of online earning groups. “To Ngoc Trinh, Kieu Minh Tuan, Kha Nhu… still participating, what are you waiting for?”, the content of the status line reposted the screenshot of the person claiming to be the leader Lio****. This shows the significant influence of using artist reputation to promote “junk” cryptocurrency. The predecessor of FXT Token is a binary exchange, similar to the gambling model. Screenshots. The fact that artists have no knowledge, but still promote Dogecoin, Shiba Inu or FXT Token can be misleading, even causing many people to participate in scam projects. The above articles can also have a negative impact on the capital investment sector, which has many things that are not properly understood. “Celebrities have no expertise, knowledge and experience in the field of cryptocurrencies… This sector is easily fooled by bad projects, created just to make money, selling ‘junk’ to homes. investment,” said Mr. Huy. Before the invitation to invest in cryptocurrencies, Mr. Huy advised participants to carefully research information on official sources, absolutely do not invest if invited by friends, or join invitation groups. rich prospect when “playing” coin. Do apps that promise big profits help you get rich? Thanks to the development of technology, new type of multi-level fraud models easily raise capital and disappear faster, leaving no trace.

Bitcoin plunged sharply on the morning of May 13 At 7 a.m. this morning, Bitcoin’s price on Coindesk was just over $ 47,000 / BTC, down $ 10,000 / BTC compared to last night. Meanwhile, on Coinmarketcap, Bitcoin also fell at a similar rate, to close to $ 49,000 / BTC. Thus, after peaking at $ 64,000 in mid-April 2021, Bitcoin never stopped going down and repeatedly broke the $ 50,000 / BTC mark. Along with Bitcoin, a series of other virtual currencies also turned red, the market capitalization decreased by more than 10%. Ethereum decreased by nearly 5%, BNB decreased 8.2%, XRP decreased 10%, BCH decreased 16%, LTC decreased nearly 15% … Some other virtual currencies even decreased 15-40%. Notably, Shiba Inu, a virtual currency “junk” is crazy about investors because the hot rise recently fell by nearly 35% in just half a day. The virtual money market fell vertically because yesterday, billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla announced “suspending the purchase of cars with Bitcoin” due to environmental concerns. Earlier in March, Elon Musk revealed that US customers can use bitcoin to pay for Tesla cars. “Tesla has suspended the purchase of cars with Bitcoin. We are concerned about the rapid increase in the use of fossil fuels to mine and trade Bitcoin, especially coal, the most polluting fuel. Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future. However, that cannot come at an environmental cost, “the billionaire explained. This billionaire unlike anyone has repeatedly made headlines in the virtual currency market by sudden decisions. However, he also asserted that Tesla did not sell any Bitcoin and intends to use it for trading as Bitcoin mining uses more sustainable energy. Yesterday, this tricky billionaire also gave a consultation on his personal Twitter page about whether Tesla should accept payments in dogecoin. The survey received millions of responses, of which the majority approved. The event comes just days after the billionaire revealed that SpaceX has accepted Dogecoin to pay for his lunar trips. Dogecoin virtual currency was “born” as a joke in 2013 by computer engineer Billy Markus and Adobe marketing expert Jackson Palmer suddenly got waves when billionaire Elon Musk invested and praised many times. on the personal page. However, the billionaire himself has repeatedly made statements to make this virtual currency “on elephants, down dogs”. Over the past 24 hours, Dogecoin has decreased in price by nearly 14%. From the beginning of the year until now, many banks, investment funds, and financial institutions announced to invest in bitcoin or accept payments in Bitcoin. However, with only a few individuals’ moves, this market still plunged without braking, this shows the great risk of this market. Even billionaire Elon Musk, while initiating and pioneering large corporations to invest in virtual money, said that people should not invest life savings in digital money because it is “not wise. good “. According to billionaire Musk, there is a possibility that digital money will become the main currency on earth, but no one knows what kind of currency it will be. Therefore, the investment in that time should be considered.

Popular form of virtual currency today. Yesterday, May 11 can be seen as a virtual currency day when a series of anonymous and worthless coins are pumped by a stream of billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s status. In the afternoon of the same day, the virtual currency fever began to spread rapidly in Vietnam when many Vietnamese artists posted the same status, alluding to this AquaGoat, Shiba Inu fever. Virtual money hiding multi-level ball. Virtual money or electronic money (cryptocurrency) has always been a “hot” issue since Bitcoin exploded in value around the second half of 2017 until now. The value of this coin has increased many times to more than 57,000 USD (as of the morning of December 12, 2121). Recently, many other virtual currencies also appeared and “followed” this trend, fluctuations and statements of famous people. Elon Musk – billionaire owner of Telsa company not long ago made statements that made Dogecoin virtual currency soar. In Vietnam, virtual money is also causing certain “investment fever” from amateur players. Recently, many Vietnamese celebs such as Ngoc Trinh, Kieu Minh Tuan, Nam Thu, Le Duong Bao Lam … suddenly posted status on personal Facebook pages related to this topic. “Underwear Queen” Ngoc Trinh seems to be more enthusiastic when posting 4 different statuses around virtual currency investment one day. She also showed off a photo of an account with more than 186 Bitcoin (BTC), with a school value at that time was more than 55,000 USD / BTC, Ngoc Trinh’s account exceeded 10 million USD, a number that can be called “impossible”. However, many people later claimed that the account was fake, not owned by her. The virtual money trap hits human greed. FXT is a multi-level virtual currency used by Lion Group (or Lion Team, Lion Community) to entice investors with huge commitment to profits. This incident has been City Police. Da Nang issued a warning from the beginning of February. Accordingly, Lion Group’s operations do not comply with the law, investors who lose money will not be protected by the law. About a week ago, press agencies began to reflect on the corruption and fraud of the Lion Group. A few days ago, Lion Group’s multi-level exchange disabled participants’ ability to withdraw money. That is, FXT buyers are now holding a pile of insolvent, worthless cryptocurrencies. It is worth mentioning that despite being warned in a recent week, Lion Group still hired artists to advertise for FXT in order to get the best shot. On virtual money groups, Vietnamese investors are frustrated because some artists disregard everything to make a profit based on the lack of understanding of a large part of the population. Virtual money always lurks in many different forms. Virtual money, virtual name but losing money is real. Investor Eric Vuong rated the artists’ actions as’ crime, murder without knives’. “You should only invest in coins when you know the nature of the model, or you can accept the risk of losing all the money involved,” he stressed. According to experts, the hallmark of multi-level virtual currencies is commitment of huge profits, loss covers, account fire protection, mostly only traded on small exchanges, newly established exchanges with traffic. Access mainly comes from Vietnam. These currencies usually have no information about the development team, blockchain, whitepaper or if any is fake. In this incident, the type of Forex (Foreign Exchange Market) cryptocurrency was not licensed in Vietnam. So when receiving “advertising contracts”, artists need to find out clearly to avoid breaking the law./.

The constant influx of money into cryptocurrencies has a huge impact on billionaires who run SpaceX and Tesla, who identify themselves as Dogefather (roughly translated: The Godfather of Dogecoin). And if the market crashes, Elon Musk said people could call themselves Elongate, a reference to the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of 37th US President Richard Nixon. Both Dogefather and Elongate have become virtual currency projects attracting thousands of investors with tens of millions of dollars frantically pouring into projects still on this paper. That’s not to mention the effect that Elon Musk created earlier that made another satirical virtual currency, Shiba Inu, also skyrocket in value. Mark Zuckerberg named his goats Max and Bitcoin, immediately fueling the zoonotic crypto craze. But Elon Musk is not alone, the 50-year-old billionaire will soon feel his shark position being violently shaken by characters who are not less popular. Mark Zuckerberg in a recent post with a very simple caption “My goats: Max and Bitcoin” has fueled the fever of fauna virtual money. In just a few hours, anonymous and worthless virtual currencies such as Pig Finance, AquaGoat, Akita Inu or Pitbull suddenly increased in both value and trading volume. The up and down momentum a few times like this is a true reflection of what’s going on in the world of cryptocurrencies, where small investors (called fryers) are buying and selling massively based on celebrities (yes probably the shark) mentioned. It all stems from the fear of missing an opportunity, a term that is extremely popular in the world of cryptocurrency players called FOMO status. By FOMO, a worthless satirical virtual currency Dogecoin has gone from zero to the fourth largest cryptocurrency in the market with a peak cap of $ 90 billion. Dogecoin, after a series of pump & dump fluctuations and sharks is currently trading around the $ 0.50 mark corresponding to a market cap of around $ 66 billion. Very soon, however, another emerging candidate appeared to threaten the Dogecoin dog’s position, which is the Shiba Inu. Just being listed on the world’s largest exchange, Binance, Shiba Inu has dramatically increased in value with a cash flow of nearly $ 20 billion after 24 hours. Ngoc Trinh also joined the virtual money game with a series of bold PR status statuses. Following this craze is not only the technology world, but also art activists like Cao Thai Son. In recent days, the voice of Rain Road not only constantly mentioned virtual money but also livestreamed to show fans how to wisely invest in the virtual money market. But when Cao Thai Son has not revealed how much money to invest in this market, another Vietnamese “shark” has revealed, that is Ngoc Trinh. In just one red afternoon, “the queen of underwear” immediately posted four lines of status referring to virtual money, in which a status showed off a (fake) account with more than $ 10 million, including nearly $ 900,000 invested in virtual currency Shiba Inu. Removed the latest status because of being exploited to borrow someone else’s account, Ngoc Trinh’s four consecutive status lines still attracted tens of thousands of likes, thousands of comments and shares. Although it was confusing and was judged as a PR trick, Ngoc Trinh still showed the height of the hand of a person controlling the game, leading the fry by writing simple, easy to understand correct style “no money. land to eat ”. At the same time as Ngoc Trinh, on the other side of the hemisphere, billionaire Elon Musk, as usual, continues to have a turbulent tweet when he makes a poll to ask people if they want Tesla to accept payment by Dogecoin coin or not. Currently, 76% of respondents said yes. But again, investors need to be wary of their own pockets, not chasing celebrity calls if they don’t want to be victims of this zero-sum game.

By the end of the program, Dogecoin price increased slightly back to 57 cents. Overall, however, the digital currency is still down 17% in value since the beginning of the show.

Since its inception, Dogecoin has a growing community of users.
