An upset Dogecoin investor claims that Musk and his companies artificially inflated the price of the well-known cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which consequently caused massive losses when the meme coin lost 93% of its value after skyrocketing to an all-time high in the first half of 2021.
The Australian co-creator of the meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin, Jackson Palmer, has some harsh warnings about the future of crypto and doesn't mince words when it comes to Tesla's CEO Elon Musk. Musk, according to Mr. Palmer, has no idea about coding or the underlying risks associated with crypto and makes investment advices like he gives FSD Beta promises.
Dogecoin has risen way above the crypto market average as it becomes the fourth cryptocurrency to be included as a trading token in the Bitcoin of America's chain of crypto ATMs. Shiba Inu, whose price action usually correlates with Doge, is up with the general Bitcoin price trend, indicating that the ATM inclusion may be behind Dogecoin's recent price action indeed.
Although no Tesla cars can be purchased using DOGE yet, the official Tesla online store is currently selling the Cyberquad for Kids (none in stock right now, apparently) and accepts this meme coin as (the only?) payment method. Other products available for DOGE are the Cyberwhistle and the Giga Texas Belt Buckle.
The original "meme coin" is now reincarnated in the form of an NFT collection by its co-founder called 'Dreaming Doge' and available over at the OpenSea platform. The Dreaming Doge set consists of eight digital art pieces with 88 editions each that go for the equivalent of about $254 each in Ethereum.
The two competing cryptocurrencies are currently moving in opposite directions as the price of the Dogecoin slowly recovers, while the Shiba Inu Coin has to take a much deserved break after its recent surge.
One of the co-creators of Dogecoin, Jackson Palmer, has been sharing some very strong opinions about the cryptocurrency industry and its involvement with “a network of shady business connections, bought influencers and pay-for-play media outlets”. Dogecoin was launched as a joke in 2013 but now has a market cap of over US$21 billion.
China's plan to crash the Bitcoin value appears to have backfired as the crypto coin is back to its values recorded before the crypto mining ban.

The Chinese authorities are now issuing a call for public comments on the decision to add crypto mining to the list of "phased-out" industries.

An obscure cryptocurrency named Omicron is now surging for obvious reasons, all the while Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced a Black Friday market crash. The Omicron crypto is gaining attention for the simple fact that it shares a name with the latest World Health Organization COVID-19 "variant of concern" designation for the B.1.1.529 mutation first found in Africa. The aptly named OMIC coin price has surged 700% on historically high volume ever since B.1.1.529 became Omicron.
