That was just another reminder that if there’s anyone who can send cryptocurrencies surging or sink...

“ElonCoin”? Elon Musk May Develop a Cryptocoin, but “Only If Necessary”
After offering DogeCoin whales an ultimatum to sell their coins in exchange for his ‘full support’ of $DOGE, Elon Musk has said that he would consider developing an “ElonCoin” but “only if necessary.” Following Elon’s public offer to buy out DogeCoin whales on Twitter, a little-known Twitter user and accountant known as Mansour Shahrokh suggested that Musk should “develop a new #ElonCoin.” “Offer them to the existing non-major #dogecoin holders to void their wallet,” Sharokh suggested. “You w...
