Today's letter to investors was really well received.

I'm unlocking it so everyone can read it. The energy debate around bitcoin is completely misguided at this point.
Here is what you need to know. https://t.co/uRQ5fjCcWJ
Pretty good article on Elon, Tesla, and BTC. Might not agree with all of it but this is a pretty good quote:
Quote:
First, Elon Musk and Tesla did not sell any bitcoin because of these energy concerns. They explicitly stated that they are holding their bitcoin. As I always say, don't listen to what people say. Simply watch what they do with their money. Elon Musk owns billions of dollars of bitcoin across his personal holdings, Tesla, and SpaceX. He isn't selling that bitcoin because of this inaccurate narrative. That should tell you everything you need to know.
Also has a few quotes from Cuban, rebuffs the whole energy aspect in general. And then speculates:
Quote:
This leads us to what exactly could potentially be going on here in regards to Tesla's announcement to stop accepting bitcoin because of energy concerns. My guess is that we are watching the first step in a master stroke of marketing from Elon Musk and the team. Here is what I think is about to happen:
[ol]The company announces that they have energy concerns. (done!) The company creates a bitcoin mining hardware that is based on renewable power and launches it to the mass retailer. The company claims they are helping to push the world to a more renewable energy future, including making bitcoin more environmentally friendly. [/ol]
Hmm, this latter part I'm not so sure about but I guess we'll see!
