Altcoin News: “Joke”: Elon Musk Writes about Ethereum on Twitter

April 30, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE

American entrepreneur Elon Musk writes about cryptocurrencies again— this time about Ethereum.

“Ethereum,” he wrote one word on his Twitter a few hours ago, prompting the crypto community for 7 minutes to guess what this might mean. “jk,” (Just Kidding) added Musk later.

In response to this, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin invited Musk to the October developer conference. Musk, in turn, asked Buterin to “stop giving away free ETHs,” apparently referring to the spread of fraudulent schemes that had long plagued inexperienced cryptocurrency holders and attracted the attention of himself.

Community members, in response, also decided to make fun of Musk and said that they intend to report his actions to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), bearing in mind the problems of the entrepreneur with the American regulator.

Later Musk returned to the discussion of the issue, already in a more serious mood. “What should be developed on Ethereum?” he asked Buterin and a few minutes ago Vitalik answer him with his top 5 picks:

Non-giver of Ether still waiting for Musks response.

Whether the subsequent ETH movements were due to Mask’s messages is difficult to assert, but the cryptocurrency rate really went up simultaneously with the publication of the first tweet, which allowed ETH to enter the green zone in the 24-hour period — currently the only one green among the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap.

Earlier in April, Musk on Twitter called himself Dogecoin’s CEO, later adding a postscript “former”.
