Musk Bitcoin Leader: "I just want to ignite your fire"

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is a well-known cryptocurrency supporter. He has mentioned Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on Twitter many times before . Now, he mentioned Bitcoin again and tweeted: "I just want to light your fire."

Musk said on Twitter: "Bitcoin is just a form of liquidity that is not as stupid as cash." Prior to this, Musk has mentioned Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on Twitter many times. In January this year, in response to a tweet from Ben Mezrich, author of "Bitcoin Billionaires", he said that he would not refuse to accept Bitcoin payments.

At the end of January this year, he changed his profile on Twitter to only leave the word "Bitcoin". His move helped push up the price of Bitcoin . But now, he has deleted the word "Bitcoin" from his profile. In early February this year, Musk said that Bitcoin is about to be widely accepted. At the same time, he also expressed his support for the cryptocurrency. At that time, he said: "I should have bought Bitcoin 8 years ago. I do think Bitcoin is a good thing. I am a supporter of Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin is about to be widely accepted by traditional financial people."

Musk recently changed his personal Twitter profile picture to a Bitcoin-themed cartoon character. Interestingly, Musk had used the same profile picture as early as October 2018. However, Twitter suspected that his account had been hacked at the time and therefore blocked his account.

Now that Musk has changed his profile picture again, the price of Bitcoin has responded immediately, quickly soaring to a record high of more than $56,000. This profile picture update is the second profile change Musk has made in the past few weeks.
