Musk compared the world’s largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, to magistrate in an exceedingly Time Magazine interview shortly when being named Time’s 2021 Person of the Year.
“Bitcoin isn't a decent substitute for transactional currency. although it had been created as a silly joke, Dogecoin is best suited to transactions. the overall transaction flow that you do with Dogecoin, like transactions per day, is way higher potential than Bitcoin,” Musk said.
The Tesla CEO stressed that Bitcoin is more suitable as a store valuable, that is why its investors like better to hold it instead of sell it or use it for payments. “The group action volume of Bitcoin is low, and also the price per group action is high,” Musk noted.
