Tesla Will Stop Accepting Bitcoin On Environmental Concerns, Both Bitcoin And Tesla Tank

…Musk’s tweet affected Bitcoin’s value by a 10% crash, likewise, Tesla’s value dropped by 1.25%

Tesla’s Chief Executive, Elon Musk announces its partitioning from the flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin — henceforth, no more cryptocurrency exchange for a Tesla. It worth noting that Bitcoin’s behavior has been fully understood by world-famous Technoking that influences its current back down towards further involvement with cryptocurrency.

Technoking dropped this announcement on Twitter — he is most active with his social media where he shares vital of his updates. Per Musk’s tweet, it also influenced the 10% fall Bitcoin currently encountered. Likewise, other cryptocurrencies also got affected by the BTC fall, including Ethereum, Dodge, and other digital currencies.

Tesla reportedly reversed its involvement in accepting cryptocurrency as an exchange for its electric vehicles — in less than two months the tech automaker publicly embraced digital currency. Although Musk’s tweet affected Bitcoin’s performance, it has reportedly revived its stance in the Asian trade market.

Musk initially channelled both his influence as the respected EV manufacturer and his status quo as the wealthiest man to bolster more sales on electric vehicles by accepting Bitcoin as a payment option for a Tesla — he had to portray absolute support for cryptocurrency to accomplish its futuristic boom.

Hours after cryptocurrency’s flagship fell, Tesla’s shares also dropped off 1.25% — “Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at great cost to the environment,” per Technoking’s tweet.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s decision was influenced by other Tesla investors and environmentalists who are concerned about the methodology in mining this coin. It requires an enormous power supply tallied with fossil to fuel its mine tools. Musk initially suggested coal as an alternative for extra fuels. Still, the outcome “has the worst emission.”

Tesla is currently sourcing for a sustainable method to duly manage the required cost for the vast amount of energy to function efficiently as a crypto miner. Still, the $1.5 billion Bitcoin holdings Tesla acquired months ago remains valid — this was before assigning BTC exchange for a Tesla.

At the time Tesla purchased the most cryptocurrency, the likes of BTC and other coins attained an extra 20% surge. While these coins are generated by solving “complex mathematical puzzles” using high-end computers, competing against other high-powered computers simultaneously.

Technoking’s tweet reveals its dichotomy from BTC, yet he didn’t disclose if his customers patronized his EV with digital currency. Musk’s recent reaction towards the coin portrays his ignorance in expecting this swift finance generator to require low finance for maintenance.

OANDA’s senior market analyst, Edward Moya said: “The environmental impact from mining bitcoins was one of the biggest risks for the entire crypto market,” he suggested Musk should have been smarter while anticipating the unexpected. “Elon was getting a lot of questions and criticisms and this statement allows him to appease critics while still keeping bitcoin on his balance sheet.”

While the Chinese supersede other crypto miners around the world according to the “University of Cambridge’s Centre for Alternative Finance shows” — they seem to have discovered quick fixes to emissions issues rather than attempt swapping cheap fossils. Chinese miners reportedly utilize hydropower as renewable energy.

Tesla’s cryptocurrency’s dichotomy tweet also revealed that the EV manufacturer is searching for “other cryptocurrencies that use <1% of bitcoin’s energy/transaction.”
