马斯克出手买进1.5B的比特币, bitcoin会是下一个GME吗?

deep

Tesla announced Monday it has bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it bought the bitcoin for “more flexibility to further diversify and maximize returns on our cash.”

Tesla also said it will start accepting payments in bitcoin in exchange for its products “subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis.” That would make Tesla the first major automaker to do so. The $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin will give Tesla liquidity in the cryptocurrency once it starts accepting it for payments.

Tesla’s move into bitcoin represents an investment of a significant percentage of its cash in the investment. The company had more than $19 billion in cash and cash equivalents on hand at the end of 2020, according to its most recent filing.

The moves raise questions around CEO Elon Musk’s recent behavior on Twitter, where he has been credited for increasing the prices of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and dogecoin by posting positive messages that have encouraged more people to buy the digital currencies.

Two weeks ago, the billionaire Tesla owned added the hashtag #bitcoin to his Twitter bio, a move that helped to briefly push up the price of the cryptocurrency by as much as 20%. Two days later, he said on the social medial chat site Clubhouse: “I do at this point think bitcoin is a good thing, and I am a supporter of bitcoin.”

Bitcoin prices surged to new highs Monday following Tesla’s announcement, reaching a price of at least $44,200. Tesla shares were up more than 2% Monday morning. In its SEC filing, Tesla warned investors of the volatility of bitcoin’s price.

Musk has gotten into trouble for his market moving tweets in the past, but it’s unclear how that applies to his tweets about cryptocurrencies. Most notably, the SEC charged Musk with fraud in 2018 for his tweets about taking the company private at $420 per share.

Musk ultimately settled with the SEC, and was forced to give up his role as chairman of the company’s board and pay a $20 million fine on top of another $20 million fine for the company itself.

说实话，我不喜欢马斯克的做法，他买就买了，还要利用自己的名人效应广而告之，其目的不就是希望大家跟进，他可以大赚一笔，他卖出之前不会告诉大家，只会卖出后来炫耀，这个时候肯定大跌，不知道会有多少人大亏，到时候又会有人自杀，这种做法跟GME有什么区别，我觉得应该限制这种做法，大家说呢

同意楼上的。他的推特应该把精力放在他的各种科技产业上，他涉足金融货币难道还要打算控制特斯拉买家的支付方式

这个不是和马云的的支付宝金蚂蚁来控制阿里巴巴的资金同工异曲吗

should be a new law, if you are a big player, you need to disclose not only the buy but the sell before the matter not after.

叫大家去炒狗币，转移市场资金流向，自己反而不买狗币去买比特币，这小子的话不能信。

他的特斯拉信徒木头女好几个礼拜前就强调了比特币的重要性，从来没有跟狗币。

bitcoin下面需要更多的institution的钱进去才能保持momentum，不过不知道FED会不会regulate，毕竟散户和机构的风险是不在一个级别上的。其实各个政府都对bitcoin不友好，只是大家装没看见。
