Go to the moon for the DOGE
Elon Musk has a rather unique take on DOGE, memecoin which, as its name suggests, was originally a simple joke… 10th place on the podium cryptocurrencies, with over $11 billion in market capitalization.
In fact, during an interview with Time Magazine since January, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX had said that DOGE is superior to Bitcoin (BTC) due to its higher transaction yield.
It should also be noted that after accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment at Tesla, Elon Musk finally reconsidered his decision, arguing that the most important cryptocurrency on the market was very energetic. A point effectively against the current of the billionaire’s ideology, whose leitmotiv is reduce human energy consumption.
In May 2021, the self-proclaimed ” Dogefather also stated that if Dogecoin increased its block completion speed by 10 times, increased its block size by 10 times, and reduced its transaction fees by 100 times, then he would beat bitcoin” easily ».
Let’s also remember that SpaceX planned to send the DOGE “to the moon” – in the literal sense of the term – in the near future. In fact, the aeronautical company plans to send a miniature satellite into orbit to collect lunar and space data. The operation will be called ” DOGE-1 “.
