Hey everyone, Elon Musk has done it again—yet another round of “scheming”! 🐶
This time, it’s not him posting dog-face emojis on Twitter, and it’s not him yelling “woof” on a stand-up comedy show. Instead, it’s a straight-up “crypto crackdown” in court: “Most cryptocurrencies are scams, except for Bitcoin.” 👀
Does that sound familiar? It’s basically a live, real-time version of the crypto world’s “loser-guy quote” (that exact “I hate you, but I’m still here” energy)! Let’s break down the legendary move of this “Martian tycoon”:
He’s saying “most are scams” with his mouth, but his actions are very honest. As early as the 2021 bull market, he took the lead in having Tesla shell out $1.5 billion to buy Bitcoin. So what happened? In 2022, he quietly cashed out 75%. Sure, he perfectly missed the juicy upside when BTC later surged past $125,000—but Tesla is still sitting on 11,509 BTC to this day. Its valuation is close to $800 million, and the unrealized gains have doubled straight up! This isn’t “bearish” at all. This is clearly the mindset of a high-level player: “I’ll insult you, but I still want to make money off you.” 🤣
So in this court case, is Musk’s statement just “front-stage talk,” or is it the truth spilling out after a night of drinks?
I think—yeah, his words may sting, but they might actually have some “life-saving” value for us retail investors. After all, in the crypto space, 99% of projects truly can’t even make it through a complete bull-and-bear cycle. Instead of chasing hot trends every day and acting as the “bag holder,” it might be better to cool down and think: are the coins you hold truly the “chosen ones” that can survive both bulls and bears, or are they the “scams” Musk is talking about?
What do you think—does Musk genuinely mean to be bearish, or is he just playing his “attention economy” game again? Drop by the comments and chat, and let’s see who the real “Musk prophet” is.
