Musk is bullish on Dogecoin, claims it is better than any other crypto

I'm too dumb to understand smart contracts. My general approach to any kind of like deal or whatever is just make sure there's clarity of understanding.
Musk believes that Dogecoin is fundamentally better than any other cryptocurrency. Musk plans to put Dogecoin on the moon.
Further, he predicted that Dogecoin would eventually become the official currency of Mars. Musk has previously hinted at the use of the memecoin for SpaceX.
Speaking of the cryptocurrency, Musk said,
I think Mars itself will need to have a different currency ... I don't know if Mars would have a cryptocurrency as a thing, but probably it seems likely, but it would be kind of a localized thing on Mars.
