The flash mob started on social networks in February, when bitcoin reached a local maximum of $ 58.3 thousand. After that, many supporters of the first cryptocurrency, expecting its rate to rise to $ 100 thousand, posted photos with “laser eyes” as an avatar of their profile.
Tom Anderson sold Myspace to News Corp in 2005 for $ 580 million.
On the morning of May 17, the cost of bitcoin on the Binance crypto exchange fell to $ 42.1 thousand. The last time such a price of the main cryptocurrency was observed in early February of this year, Bitcoin is trading at $ 44.1 thousand. Its capitalization has dropped to $ 827 billion, according to CoinGecko.
The collapse of quotations occurred amid statements by Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Twitter. The businessman criticized Bitcoin and questioned its decentralization, and also responded with the word “really” to the post of one of the users, who suggested that Tesla would announce the sale of all its Bitcoins in the next quarter.
Musk later revealed that Tesla had not sold a single bitcoin since the end of March, when the company recorded a profit of $ 101 million.
