Cryptocurrency enthusiasts and Bitcoin evangelists took the opportunity to promote Bitcoin the Musk’s over 30 million followers. The Moon was not shy to explain that:
Bitcoin is the ULTIMATE safe haven. There is NO third party risk and the supply is STRICTLY limited to 21 million Bitcoins. If there is a financial crisis soon (there will be), then “Bitcoin” will indeed be MY safe word! Buy Bitcoin, bye banks!
Although the tweet by Musk has brought laugher amid a gloomy cryptocurrency landscape, the price did not respond in any way.
