Elon Musk Targets "Bitcoin Maxis" In Tweet, They Respond

The “Bitcoin maxis” tweet drew the attention of MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, one of the most vocal Bitcoin proponents.

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has decided to have a go at Bitcoin and its supporters – again. His previous interest to push the developers of the world's largest cryptocurrency to make it more energy-efficient ended in washing out its gains and attracted massive criticism from Bitcoin investors. On Friday, Mr Musk directed his wit to Bitcoin “maxis”, or maximalists, who support the crypto above all other digital currencies, like Dogecoin, a favourite with the Tesla CEO. He again raised the widely held concerns over the energy consumption in trading and mining Bitcoin. “That's not funny!” – Bitcoin maxis If you give us 10 minutes, maybe we can hash out the answer... How many obnoxious Bitcoiners does it take for you to stop being a dick? Obnoxious threads like this make me want to go all in on Doge Two, One to screw in the light bulb and one to stare in horror at roko's blockchain as it consumes the earth and all who stood in its way.
