“Bitcoin drops around 12% after Elon Musk tweets that Tesla will not accept it as payment “

So what is Tesla planning on doing with it's Bitcoin horde?  It seems to me that they will have to unload it all if the decision not to use it for sales was based on environmental concerns.  It would go against Elon's entire brand not to.

"hoard" ... it ain't an army of Mongolians!

Already announced that they will hold it until bitcoin finds a path to a lower energy model for mining and transactions. I imagine that would be revisited after a while if it doesn't look like that will happen.

I'd invest in an army of Mongolians.  That has tangible value.

LOL.  You don't know that I wasn't using a metaphor to suggest it was enough Bitcoin to wipe out a village of millennial investors.  It is totally plausible.  Untrue, but plausible.

The RSS feed let me know there was a spelling mistake and I just had to check and make sure KenN was doing his job.

Pffft. I know that isn’t a KenN bot as it wouldn’t have made that mistake.

You're wrong.

It wasn't a malapropism, it was an incorrect homophone, like using "there" when you should have used "their", and that is a grammatical error.  A malapropism is like saying "flamingo dancer".

Fear the KenNbot!
