Elon Musk, founder and CEO of Tesla, has published a new tweet about Bitcoin, which this time has raised the prices of the digital currency.
“I spoke to some Bitcoin miners in North America – he wrote – who are committed to publishing current and planned data relating to the use of renewable energy”. Musk added that “this is potentially promising.”
Bitcoin reacted immediately and, thanks also to the assist from Ray Dalio, jumped by more than 17% to exceed $ 39,500.
Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund in the world, in an interview with CoinDesk said that we are moving towards an inflationary future in which “cash is junk”: which is why, he stressed, he would prefer ” have bitcoins rather than bonds “. Once skeptical of cryptocurrencies, Dalio admitted that he owns ‘some’ bitcoins in his wallet. At 6.45 am Italian time, Bitcoin jumps over 10% to $ 38,525, while Ethereum rallies over 23% to $ 2,586.
