Last week, Elon Musk and Tesla shocked the entire crypto industry following an announcement that the electric car company will no longer accept bitcoin payments for “environmental reasons.” A Hard Pill For Bitcoin Maximalists Giving its reasons, Tesla argued that Bitcoin mining operation requires massive energy consumption, which is generated from fossil fuel, especially coal, and as such, causes environmental pollution. The announcement caused a market dip which saw over $4...

It is hard to understand Elon Musk at times. There are moments when he appears to be quite clear regarding cryptocurrency, and other days when he seems to be way off the mark. Either he does not fully understand the influence he has on the space, or he does and says certain things knowing they will have certain impacts. Either way, he has now sent Dogecoin through the roof again with his latest words following the rough week it has had. Elon Musk and Dogecoin Are Mixing...

In the cryptocurrency space, it is usually considerably easier to focus on the negative than it is to look at the positive. As of late, Dogecoin is enduring some heavy suffering, with the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market cap falling as much as 20 percent in recent days, so for the most part, we are likely to see a lot of news coverage about this drop. Dogecoin Is Still a Beloved Asset However, despite this little setback, there is nothing to suggest that the...

The cryptocurrency market has become a wild show in recent months, perhaps led by Dogecoin’s emergence to the grand scene. The meme coin that started as a joke in 2013, whose founder sold its stack to buy an old Honda Civic back in the day, has been among the best performers eight years after its birth. Publicly supported by some of the most popular and influential celebrities, such as Elon Musk, Snoop Dogg, Mark Cuban, and more, the DOGE token grabbed people’s attention and...

Earlier today, it was announced on Live Bitcoin News that the price of BTC had taken a drastic fall thanks, in part, to actions taken by Elon Musk, who announced that his company Tesla had decided not to accept bitcoin payments for goods and services. As it turns out, the price of BTC – along with several other leading altcoins – may have also fallen thanks to Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum.

To say that last week was eventful would be an understatement. The entire market went through extreme volatility. Many altcoins charted new all-time highs and went through serious declines as well. Let’s start with Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency is currently down about 10% on the weekly – last Friday, it was trading at around $57K. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there, with the exception of the first few days as on Monday, BTC had an unsuccessful attempt at the coveted...

It goes without saying that the entire cryptocurrency community was taken ablaze by what happened with Tesla, Elon Musk, Bitcoin, and, somewhat not surprisingly, Dogecoin. Following the electric vehicle manufacturer’s decision to halt BTC payments for its products due to environmental considerations, Elon Musk, the company’s CEO, said that he’s working with Dogecoin developers to improve transaction efficiency.

Coinbase has had a spectacular 2021. The company announced $1.80 billion of revenue, $585 million more than the fourth quarter of 2020, and $191 million more than its results from a year ago. Much of these numbers are driven by the growing interest in cryptocurrencies. 56 million users and 6.1 million monthly transactions put the company right on the money radar, primarily since Coinbase benefits from the fees generated by every trade made on its platform. The IPO was also...

Elon Musk – the South African entrepreneur behind billion-dollar companies such as Tesla and SpaceX – wants your opinion regarding Tesla accepting Dogecoin payments in the future. Elon Musk Wants to Know if Doge Payments Are the Right Thing The famed technician has taken to Twitter to ask his followers if Tesla should move forward in its crypto-themed journey and accept Doge for products and services. Apparently, the question is deemed important amongst his social media...

Bitcoin appears rather stable as of late. The currency has had some relatively wonky up-and-down moments over the past few weeks, but for the most part, the currency has found some sturdy ground to stand on over the past two days and is trading for a little over $56,000. It is not the $64,000 it was at just a few weeks ago, but it is certainly not the $49,000 it briefly dropped to after that. Bitcoin Is Seeing Some of the Same Patterns Either way, one research group is...
