Elon Musk says Tesla will no longer accept bitcoin due to fossil fuel use. https://t.co/rg6ToWNosk Finally! What was he thinking?And what is anyone thinking who invests in this climate-trashing currency?

We at https://t.co/VUydpLFzGh will continue to accept BTC/Eth/Doge because we know that replacing Gold as a store of value will help the environment https://t.co/bs7NvnJY8A and https://t.co/ELhbuLOBRV shrinking big bank and coin usage will benefit society and the environment https://t.co/zu08F0STEQ

Elon Musk's tweet about #Tesla suspending car purchases with bitcoin wiped off $365 billion from the cryptocurrency market in just under 3 hours. There's been a slight bounce back but #bitcoin and other digital currencies are still sharply lower $TSLA $BTC https://t.co/NHkjMA7ejL

Elon probably did not research how much energy is required to run other (non crypto) currencies that Tesla accepts. ? https://t.co/oSwfIBoOsD

Elon ... you realize that 75% of miners use renewable energy, right?

This energy story has been debunked over and over again.
The nice thing about the U.S. dollar and other currencies issued by generally-functional governments is that they don’t lose over 10% of their value overnight after one rich guy’s tweet. https://t.co/LBIl9XNlRa

Are crypto markets too prone to massive, multi-multi-billion dollar swings in value based on seemingly tiny pressures or is Elon Musk too influential on those markets?

"Elon Musk says Tesla will no longer accept bitcoin due to fossil fuel use". At last! A wave of sanity finally breaks out. Even better? Elon could have asked for a carbon tax paid in ££$$ at point of bitcoin creation. That would do the world a favour. https://t.co/u438Aq9uCq

Tesla had a choice between traditional capital markets or bitcoin. And the bitcoin "market" has been horizontal for months and a hard correction is inevitable.
— Stephen Diehl (@smdiehl) May 13, 2021
Tesla doesn't care about the climate, they just care about money, so they made the economically rational choice. (13/)
Going to assume the Tesla thing is due to the idiotic logistics of actually accepting Bitcoin as payment for cars

Let’s not overthink this..few people have changed the world the way @ElonMusk has. No doubt that BTC is here to stay - but denying there is a problem isn’t a path to solving it. Whether it’s through renewables or architectural changes, let’s keep moving on the solution. https://t.co/Ic0Ct6gEKt

Environmental concerns aren’t new.

What might be new is that Tesla realized that bc it can’t book Bitcoin sales as profits — but rather as an intangible asset — this was blowing a hole in its balance sheet. https://t.co/BeAKajRGkz
How can you write this story without pointing out that even mildly informed observers knew about the environmental impact of bitcoin long before Tesla and Musk started getting into it? Musk must have known this. https://t.co/3AfWshVS3E
