What is Musk’s true opinion of Dogecoin? Musk told TIME Magazine after being awarded “Person of the Year” for 2021, “Even though it was designed as a dumb joke, Dogecoin is better suited for transactions.” Dogecoin’s overall transaction flow, measured in transactions per day, has a far larger potential than Bitcoin.”

Well, this is amazing – it looks like, for the time being, the prices of some items are ONLY in #Dogecoin. Is it 1 Doge = 1 Doge already, on the @Tesla store?
Pretty sure many are kids again, all of a sudden. By the way, “The Doge Price Includes Shipping and Taxes”. pic.twitter.com/zH9vcRfExi

During this talk, he also stated that Tesla will accept Dogecoin as payment for business items on a trial basis. He had tweeted, “Tesla will make some items buyable with Doge and see how it goes.” However, he did not specify what goods might be purchased with Dogecoin.
Meanwhile, according to coinmarketcap.com, the meme coin is up 17.13 percent to $0.1991 and has a market cap of $26.38 billion.
Musk’s tweets about cryptocurrencies, including one in which he referred to it as the “people’s crypto,” boosted the meme coin, causing it to rise about 4,000 percent in 2021.
