Cryptocurrency trading strategies and updates

We are all in stocks at the moment, we will be back once we screw the hedge fund on GME stock lol
 
GME one is so hilarious :))) Reddit boys playing the wall street

This is revenge of the Millenials
 
Seems like hedge funds are saying if you go against us we would wipe out other gains.

Lets see how retail investors respond, this might even delay the stimulus checks now considering how strong these investors have become lol.

They shouldn’t forget wallstreet still owns the politicians.. very interesting times! [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

How do you see Matic and IndaHash for long term hodl?


Also, it looks like I missed big time on Monero.
It was $0.25 a piece in 2018 and now hitting $140 a piece.

$2500 investment then would have been $1.4 million by now. my word !!!

Matic is a good layer 2 scaling solution and Aave is using it apparently. I am not too bullish on Matic as majority of tokens are being held by CZ. I will look into Inda hash.

Mark Cuban just tweeted about rari and it did a 100% lol :yk

Man Billionaires shilling coins and also Raoul Paul published his newsletter calling for a 20k Eth and xrp may pump after they sort out the sec problem.

Uniswap did an airdrop last year, 400 tokens to every user even for a failed transaction. I sold it, man it would have been worth $6000, i received 1600, would have been worth 24k.
 
Brother Dot under 13 is a buy and Kusama under 90 is a buy. Big news in March, already some tokens are moving onto Kusama. Also, watch out for Moonbeam GLMR tokens not out yet, this is massive. I will provide more information once it's out.

Hope you're right bro. Went kinda big on Polkadot based on your advice lol. I also did my due diligence and it does seem like a promising crypto to hold.

Also added Chainlink, Cardano and Ripple to my wallet. Hesitated with AAVE and ended up not buying and now it seems that it's the only crypto that is going up :facepalm. Do you think it's a buy at the current price ($288) or should I wait to see if it falls?

Looking into Kusama now. Do keep us updated on Moonbeam.

If Ethereum goes to 20k, I am sorted lol. Doubled my position today when it dipped briefly and will look to keep adding more over the coming days.

According to ARK's 2021 Report, Bitcoin could go to $400k. I will personally wait until it falls below $27k (£20k) before buying more.

I will be ladder selling Eth, if it hits 20k then sell maybe 50% of my eth holdings :yk

I'll start selling from $2,000 and above (sell 20%) 3k (sell another 10%, 4k (10%), 5k (10%)

Better to play safe :butt

Don't worry Dot will be big, but I expect a big retrace as China is big on Dot. With Chinese new year coming, expect a sell off and then end of March and moon misson for Dot. I am staking Dot and KSM in kraken, 12% not too shabby.

I got into Dot presale at $1.25 and loaded up more at $8, if it goes below $13 I am loading up more.

Kusama I have bought at $5, $30, $96 and if it goes below $90 will load more.

I can live off staking from Kusama and Dot :inti

Ontology did a promotion where if you signed up to their newsletter you got 1000 tokens. Those tokens went up to $1. Guess who was planning on signing up to the letter but then completely forgot ?

I remember chinese new year was blamed for sell-offs a few years ago. Took the bloody chinese about 3 years to buy in again haha. I think the effects are overrated.

Chinese missed out on Ethereum that's why they went heavy on Dot and Kusamaa, they don't want to miss out on this train.

Adoption is happening and regulation is coming which will cause a massive drive.

Look at Dogecoin .... a couple of days ago, someone posted a video where he said he was going ALL IN with Doge and purchased $30,000.00 worth.
 
Bitcoin is pumping after Musks twitter update and Tron is flying (up 25%) after Justin Sun announced he is buying $1million of GME
 
LOL Aave over 300 crazy and UNI over 19 :yk

Yeah keeping an eye on AAVE.
XRP also picking up a little sooner than expected.

I am also open to pick a bag of doge once it goes below 0.02, and put it back on sale in layers of profit margins at around 800% and then forget it.
If it sells in a year or two when Musk sends another tweet, it will be good enough, otherwise I will just let it sit in the sale stack.

XRP is going up because the crypto cousin group of Wall Street Bets on Reddit (SatoshiStreetBets) is planning on pumping it tomorrow. A lot of people have been buying it in anticipation for this. I myself doubled my XRP position when I found out about this lol.

Will be interesting to see just how high it can go. I plan on converting my XRPs to Ethereum if it goes high enough and then buying back XRP once the price inevitably drops after these Reddit guys are done with it.

GRT which I mentioned at 0.30 went all the way to 0.90, GRT is actually used by most projects and I think it will be Top 20 soon. I am hoping for a big red day so I can get a bag, should have picked it up at 0.30 but I put my buy wall at 0.25 and missed out :butt

If SEC goes hard on retail as they will obviously back the hedge funds then we can another fresh inflow from retail. This will be a bumpy bullrun but we will make it at the end friend :inzi
 
I don't own any xrp, ada or dogecoin as firstly xrp is centralized also Jed McCalub Ripple Co Founder dumps over 266 million every month so price will be suppressed.

https://decrypt.co/50876/jed-mccaleb-immediately-sells-30-million-xrp-after-getting-266-million

Dogecoin is just a memecoin which pumps after every 3 months but it signals a start of an alt season, this last pump is because of WBS who are noobs in crypto went full R on Doge and even Mia khalifa bought at 0.08 got rekkt.

Ada, I haven't seen any product or any big projects working on top it (No smart contract platform yet) and it did it's ICO in 2016 (Privately in Japan) and then in 2017. I am getting Theranos vibes from it, but you as know as they all say Scams pumps the most but after getting burned in 2018 I don't feel comfortable with Charles the scammer.

Just sticking to solid projects with fundamentals backed by a strong community.

I think Guogen is due in March and if the smart contract functionality works successfully there is a major possibility to enter the De-fi space. Arguably Cardano is more de-centralised than other cryptos. I think it could close the year at 1-2$ (maybe sooner)
 
Current portfolio - obviously this changes and coins go up and down. very bitcoin heavy and Cardano heavy too actually. I don't buy the hype of Eth going to 5k-6k. I think this is the year of the Eth killer which could be ADA or DOT ( will buy dot on a dip)

btc - 65.17%
ADA - 23.48%
Eth - 6.21%
Doge - 1.38% - for the lolz, Got a feeling that GME money will flow into crypto and pump this.
TRX - 1.96% - Nostalgia. One of the first cryptos I bought. If Justin Sun comes through with even 10% of shilling then its moon ( or sun in this case).
LTC - 0.64%
OMG 1.12%

I sold out of Neo, XRP, XLM and IOTA ( some of them at a loss). Looking to buy some of the coins mentioned like DOT, Link etc when there is a bit more of a dip.

Cardano isn't really more decentralized, it's a term being thrown around in the crypto space. There are still 13 billion more tokens which haven't been released to the public. The only fair launch in crypto which I have seen is YFI by Andre Cronje & Uniswap by Hayden. Even Ethereum wasn't a fair launch or decentralized to begin with but later it became decentralized. Props to Cronje & Hayden.

I haven't came across any defi projects which are planning onboarding with cardano that's why I am skeptical.As there are plenty of projects which are moving to Dot & Kusama. There are 4 smart contract platform which wants to occupy a parachain slot in Polkadot (Moonbeam is one of the them and some big projects are already moving there)

$1 for Cardano will be good Charles knows how to pump but don't marry your coins brother, know when to exit. :moyo

There will be a 99% drop on all these alt coins so we need to know when to get out.

I think doomsday will come in June or September :akhtar

Not bad at all.
This is an interesting conversation where we can tease on our funny pains and sometimes brag about our luck.

I am hodling a bag of 23K coins of XRP since 2017. Purchased it at $0.17 and missed out on the opportunity of unloading when it was over $3.80. I got greedy and thought to sell at $5 lol.

Then I took a major hit on TRX. Picked up 25K coins at $0.28 and got shafted to the guts.

My current portfolio is
About 80% BTC
10% Chainlink
Had a few ETH sitting on an exchange that I had forgotten about.
And then some odd coin here n there.

I am looking forward to pick some DOT and SNX and may be a few KSM.
ENJ is also under my watch.

Also looking at Doge to see if it falls under .02
Doge has been kind to me in the past and I was able to generate a little over 1 full bitcoin in profit from trading in doge.

Musk recently said, he jokes about Doge so perhaps this is the end of doge? But then again, every speculation about every crypto has been proven wrong at some point.

I am also itching to pick some IOST but they made it hard for US Based investors. Prolly someday when I am getting bored, I will run it through Uniswap or something

All this will take a nose dive and will not end nicely. I own ether and btc only.

Thats been my biggest lesson in crypto. Learning when to learn go, psychologically its hard to let go of coins because there is FOMO that it could be the next bitcoin and eth and you don't want to be the guy who sold for a thousand quid profit when people are making millions.

Thats how I made losses, by clinging on for eternity and then when there is a decline, clinging on anyway as it could go up again.

This time (hopefully) I will be a bit smarter and more realistic goals.
 
[MENTION=151861]Colorblind Genius[/MENTION] do you suggest me to hold on to my XRP bag? Or take a risk, and get rid of it. I'm stuck in a situation where, if I let go now will make a loss as I bought it higher (avg. 1 USD ish). At the same time I didn't sell it when it reached 0.7+ USD twice in 2 months thinking it will reach higher, possibly 1 USD. It is an emotional thing more than anything else as pointed by [MENTION=51465]DeadlyVenom[/MENTION]. I'm a long-term holder but this pump and dump is getting me stressed.

The rule is very simple. You don't lose until you sell.

I am hodling them as I don't need immediate cash to put into another coin because no one knows the winning horse.
As I stated earlier, I am also holding a large bag of excrement in the name of TRON. But again, it just sits there. I don't lose until I sell.

But your situation could be different.

If your situation compels you to sell, then perhaps sell half when it hits $0.7ish and use the cash to your advantage and try to off-set the loss? It could backfire too.
Most probably when XRP hits around a dollar or even over 80 cents, other crypto values would be high too. So at $0.7, I will perhaps sell half of my XRP with USDT and hold on to my USDT to re-invest when the market goes into a dip?

I think the biggest thing for me is to resist the temptation of dreaming about making millions overnight. This potentially leads to gambling addiction.

I have learned that playing safe and being patient is better than rushing and losing it all.
Taking low risk and investing only that I can afford to lose all of it, is the way to go for me.
So I mostly buy when I feel that a good crypto is truly dirt cheap.
If other cryptos hit the moon and I am not part of it, it doesn't bother me.

We all feel that once I hit the jackpot, I am getting out of crypto for good. But such dreams hardly ever come true.

This is a part time fun type of thing for me.
I don't rely on it, and I don't keep big hopes from it either otherwise, it's a recipe of self destruction.

We all heard of stories and we have our own too.
Back in the day, I was offered to buy $20 worth of bitcoins.
It would've given me about 4000 coins but at that point, I thought it was a scam and didn't want to lose my $20.

Yep, these missed opportunities come back to haunt us, but these are our funny pains and such chances come only once in a life. To believe that it's gonna happen again, is a happy thought but shouldn't make us invest more than $20. :)

That does speak volumes and good on ya for brushing past it. It is a game of patience and resisting temptation, completely agree. The thing that's stressing me is the fact that XRP isn't moving with the other major alts as expected. I am hoping it goes on another run close to 22/Feb before the pre-trial of the lawsuit so I can get out.

IMO, lots of money has been put in by many stakeholders. XRP is a major player. And everyone wants a piece of the pie. They probably won't let it be dumped to the dust. The court and the judges also know that the govt wants a slice too in the form of capital gain taxes. So they would perhaps give XRP some sort of a chance to revive.

There is a theory that you could put it all on sale at 1.00 or even at 99 cents if you really want to get rid of it. And then sleep peacefully at night.

If there is a very short surge in price during the trial and news that comes out of, while you are away, the sale will be auto executed and you will get your money back.

If it happens then be happy to get your money back if takes a plunge after a short pump that helped you recoup your cash. Or be ready to brush it off if it hits $1.50 or 2 or 5 but you have already off-loaded it.

This is what I do too.
When I hear that some desi (a friend of a friend etc) has made $80,000 and a $90,000 in falana crypto and dhimkana crypto, I simply tell myself, I don't give a sh*t.

Just to emphasize on last part of your post. For noobs like me:

In a pump and dump crypto, more than 90% people have to lose so that a very slim minority earns some quick gains.

Another thing, people always boast about when they "make" :yk money but never tell a soul when they have lost everything.

My recommendation: play the long game, never become desperate, only "invest" until a point where it doesn't have an effect on your sleep.

For February 2021: Buy BTC, ETH and DOT

Stay away from DOGE, XPR and similar trash coins. No one gets rich in a day.

I'll defer to Ashraful, bro. I'm pretty new to the game.

I'm currently holding Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polkadot, Cardano, Ripple, Kusama, Ocean Protocol and Zilliqa. Other than the first four, the rest are all small positions. I'm in profit for all of them.

I want to add Aave and Litecoin to my portfolio but think they are too expensive right now. I was debating whether or not to buy Aave when it was at £200, it has now shot up to £320 fml.

I am interested in Reserve Rights (RSR) as well which seeks to do the same thing as Bitcoin and become a store of value and is currently only 3p but none of the platforms I'm currently on support it.

But my main strategy right now is buying more Ethereum. I am getting more and more convinced that it is getting ready to take off like Bitcoin.

I agree with the posts above. I think there is a chance (however small) that all of this could come crashing down so I am only investing amounts that I am comfortable losing. The upside with Crypto is probably higher than any other investment you can make right now. And as someone in their 20s with a decent job in finance, I am comfortable taking that risk but everyone needs to do their own risk assessment and determine their risk appetite. I also plan on getting more educated on this stuff and have been recommended the book Cryptoassets as a starting point so that I can do my own research and better due diligence instead of getting influenced by every little thing I come across lol.

I'll defer to Ashraful, bro. I'm pretty new to the game.

I'm currently holding Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polkadot, Cardano, Ripple, Kusama, Ocean Protocol and Zilliqa. Other than the first four, the rest are all small positions. I'm in profit for all of them.

I want to add Aave and Litecoin to my portfolio but think they are too expensive right now. I was debating whether or not to buy Aave when it was at £200, it has now shot up to £320 fml.

I am interested in Reserve Rights (RSR) as well which seeks to do the same thing as Bitcoin and become a store of value and is currently only 3p but none of the platforms I'm currently on support it.

But my main strategy right now is buying more Ethereum. I am getting more and more convinced that it is getting ready to take off like Bitcoin.

Next big correction I see is September 1st. Feb 18 minor dip, buy the dip. May top signal
 
Man, this AAVE is such a tease!!!!

First time I mentioned it here, it was sitting at $123 and I thought it was High and I will wait for the dip to jump in. Yeah right ! lol

Yeah but dot is still sitting at $20ish

AAVE has touched $535 on coinbase pro

I guess bad time to buy. We have already missed the bus?
 
What is going on with AAVE? It is going crazy. I was going to buy it at £200 but instead thought let it fall to £180. Now it's about to touch £400.
 
I have mentioned Ocean Protocol at 0.30 and now it made a new ALT HIGH.

1. Working with the central bank of Germany (Not announced yet)
2. Launching a Data marketplace on Kusama network.
3. Ongoing work with Automotive industries still under nda (Daimlar, BMW etc)
4. DHL was shilling Ocean from their official twitter account.
 
I have mentioned EWT (Energy Web Token) as well, have a lookout it can have a massive second week.

An Intro to EWT Usecases.
EWT is a utility token to power EW (Energy Web) Chain and by extension the EW decentralized operating system (EW-DOS) stack. Primarily you can use EWT for these services.

1. Transaction payments — primarily for gas consumption on the EW Chain but also for services like Bridges and Oracles — made on a pay-as-you-go basis.

2. Bundled Utility Layer service payments — a mechanism that grants DIDs access to five distinct services — an EWNS name, the transaction relay, key recovery service, messaging, and storage — for one flat EWT payment.
 
The King is back, Bitcoin above 40k. Michael Saylor is shilling Bitcoin to his billionaire friends this week, I expect us to get to 50k. Alts will bleed and will give u a better entry.

Could be but fact of the matter is, the dollar value of almost all alt coins go up when BTC goes up because the dollar value of alt coins is calculated by their Satoshi value.

According to my analysis we will reach the top in May-June and then a big correction in September. I am going to sell 80% of my stack in May-June and buy back in September and then again in 2022 Jan massive gains. For now don't worry about even a 20-30% drop these are normal for bull markets, Hodl strong brother :amla

There will be corrections but if we look at the longer time frame and 2025 bull market, the sky is the limit. One thing has been proven with certainty is the 4 year cycle and one year after halvening the bull market starts :akhtar. We become multi millionaires this cycle and billionaires in 2025.

Inshallah :inzi

Yeah we should be going up in USD value but will lose in satoshi value which really matters to us. 11 Feb really bullish then a correction and 18 feb I see more bullishness.

Something else is goin on, and it's scary.

The US govt is printing unlimited amount dollars.

You see these trillions of dollars going out in stimulus checks? Where do you think it's coming from? Reserves and assets? Not really.

They are simply printing more and more and more dollars, so eventually, the price of EVERYTHING will go up INCLUDING crypto currencies.

I have a feeling that tangible commodities will eventually worth the real value.

So it's perhaps not a bad idea to make profits (if possible at all in crypto) and invest some of it in real estate.

But then again, one should be mindful that commercial real estate is also going down the hill. There are trillions of square feet of office space now available for rent or sale because the Covid lockdown has proved it to the employers that making the work force, work remotely from home cuts a TREMENDOUS amount of cost. A humongous amount of office buildings now stand empty.

So personally, I would avoid investing in office/commercial real estate.

This is bullish for crypto. We are all retiring this year brothers :butt

Don't be scared brother. Scared money doesn't make any money. Getting into crypto was the first stepping stone, now we hodl strong :asif

DOT, KSM, OCEAN (I mentioned at 0.30 now at 0.77, EWT I mentioned at 7.30 now at 9 - expect it to get to 20 dolla atleast). Dot at top 4 again.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED BROTHERS :akhtar

Kusama will get to top 15 in April :asad1
 
some HUGE news courtesy Tesla buying $1.5 billion of BTC has propelled BTC this morning. I reckon we could see 50k soon?

Remember Coinbase IPO is this month and it's valued at 20 -50 billion

This BULL RUN is making 2017 look like a poor man's bullrun

BROTHERS :asif

glad u all joined
 
Tesla is a hugely influential company with one eye on the future. I wonder if this will make other companies jump on the BTC bandwagon. This is arguably the biggest news in the crypto-sphere in the last 5 years.
 
Tesla is affiliated with Energy Web Token - Grab a moonbag before it takes off brother :amla

If Elon tweets about EWT it's game over.

Today the Energy Web Foundation (EWF) announced its public blockchain is live. The group boasts 100 affiliate members and is expecting to see 17 dApps go live on the network in the coming weeks.

The foundation has too many big name members to mention. Global brands such as Total, Shell, GE and Siemens are on board. But most are regional electricity generators or grids. From the U.S. there’s Duke Energy and PG&E, but they also have major brands from Asia and many of Europe’s biggest providers. Numerous startups are also participating.

This combination of members mirrors the two EWF founders. It’s a marriage of think tank Rocky Mountain Institute with its Rolodex of big corporate players, and software startup Grid Singularity. (GRID Singularity's one of the founders is Dr. Gavin Wood - founder of Kusama and Polkadot).

The target market is substantial. In 2018, new investment in the sector was $1.85 trillion according to the International Energy Authority. Of that, $775 billion went into the power sector and more than $300 billion into renewable energy.

While there are many industry sectors currently in flux as a result of technology changes, the energy sector is shifting from regional monopolies and oligopolies to distributed supplies. The fusion with distributed ledgers and a public blockchain, in particular, seems like a no brainer.

“According to industry forecasts, by 2030 consumers would invest more money in distribution-edge devices [such as] solar PV [photovoltaic], batteries, charging stations, electric vehicles, smart controls, than electric utilities would invest in power generation and electricity grids. This is a massive and unprecedented shift,” said Hervé Touati, CEO of EWF.

In the past Belgian grid operator Elia has focused on the high-voltage transmission grid with a small number of power plants. Now it’s looking at leveraging EWF’s blockchain to expand its reach. “To ensure a successful energy transition, blockchain is one of the required tools,” said Kris Laermans project manager at Elia Group. “We demonstrated with our last blockchain project [with EWF] that the technology will help to lower the entry barriers for prosumers and consumers in the flexibility market and reduce the administrative costs with settlement automation.”

EWF’s Chief Commercial Officer Jesse Morris explained the gap that blockchain fills. “We really don’t have a digital infrastructure capable of orchestrating and coordinating millions, potentially billions of internet-connected devices. That’s whether we’re talking about electric vehicles, whether we’re talking about batteries, whether we’re talking about power plants. Most of the grid is pretty analog.”

He continued: “Blockchains would appear to be able to solve some of the challenges that the energy sector is facing in this. We don’t have digital identities for customers in most cases. We don’t have digital identities for assets. We don’t have a way, for example, for devices like a Tesla powerwall to conduct financial settlement at extremely low cost and in an automated way.”

What’s it for?
That’s the big picture, but what is Energy Web being used for specifically? The first wave of dApps fall into three groups. Firstly, certification so electricity consumers can confirm their electricity source is from renewable energy. We’ve previously written about several EWF projects in this area, including separate projects from Spain’s Iberdrola and Acciona.

Secondly, there are dApps around electric vehicle charging and making the process simpler. The third and more complicated area is demand response. To smooth supply and demand during off-peak periods, renewable energy can be stored in batteries and customer assets can transact with other machines or the grid operator.

A novel public blockchain
A public blockchain is a more logical choice because of the large number of prosumer energy providers that EWF aims to connect. Given EWF is all about green energy, it couldn’t run an energy wasteful Proof of Work blockchain like the public Ethereum and Bitcoin chains. Instead, it’s using Proof of Authority (PoA), which means initially ten approved companies run validator nodes. The companies are a mix of utilities, grid operators, and blockchain developers. By using PoA, EWF can enable low-cost transactions and greater scalability.

So it’s a semi-permissioned blockchain in that the validators are approved, but anyone can participate as a user.

But public blockchains represent unique regulatory and operational challenges for corporates. Here’s a quote from an unnamed member. “We as a corporate, cannot control everything that’s happening on a node. Because again, it’s a decentralized network and there are things happening on top of that network.” That means that the corporate can’t host that node inside its IT perimeter. But they’re also not allowed to host things outside of its IT perimeter. Likely these sorts of challenges will take time to address and sandboxes will help.

Since it’s a public blockchain, the validators need to be compensated, so there’s a token. EWF didn’t run an ICO. However, it has received contributions for its blockchain work, for helping in building dApps, and for community building efforts. All the organizations that made contributions received tokens.

As an enterprise-grade public blockchain, privacy is an issue. It uses the popular solution of storing data off-chain with hashes (digital fingerprints) on-chain. Going forward, it’s also exploring Parity’s secret store and some zero-knowledge proof solutions.

For enterprises, one of the big questions with public blockchains is governance which EWF plans to evolve. Initially, there are the ten validator nodes. Any code changes will be recommended by EWF and the node operators can give feedback. So at first, EWF is similar to a steward.

In a second phase, when there are more nodes, the validators would vote on changes. But there’s a more novel medium-term plan to give dApp developers a big say. The more gas a dApp uses or rather, the more popular it is, the bigger the vote. But there will be limits to prevent popular apps from dominating the network governance.

If the energy web network went down, would the lights go out? EWF’s Morris responded that a decentralized network could improve cybersecurity. But the reality is these initial dApps are more focused on traceability. It’s not providing a new digital infrastructure to automate the grid. Morris concluded: “Our affiliates, I imagine, would be quite careful before they fully digitized those functions, whether they’re using a public blockchain, a private blockchain or another digital solution.”

I hope, for the sake of all these poor souls who are getting into BTC at such high prices, that Elon and Tesla are serious about BTC and it is not a ploy to earn quick 15% over $1,5b.

Elon didn't have any liquidity when we were in strict quarantine last year.

His cars will have some serious competition when Toyota, Volkswagen and Ford start producing 100% electric cars. Right now, Teslas are overpriced and lack in build quality...

These are very negative thoughts and a very pessimistic pov but you never know with sociopath billionaires and their drive to earn more and more...

I'll leave this post. I hope to laugh at it in coming years.
 
Bitcoin sets fresh records after Elon Musk investment

Bitcoin has hit record highs for a second day after Elon Musk's car company Tesla said it had bought about $1.5bn (£1.1bn) of the cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin rose above $48,000 (£34,820) before falling back, but it remains about 25% higher than a week ago.

Some investors took Tesla's move as a signal that Bitcoin would become a mainstream financial asset.

However, there was some criticism about a green car firm investing in such an energy intensive currency.

Bitcoin currently uses more energy than Argentina every year, according to analysis from the University of Cambridge.

Production of the cryptocurrency, known as "Bitcoin mining", needs energy-hungry computer hardware and ever-greater amounts of processing power.

Mike Butcher, an editor at news website Techcrunch, tweeted: "Tesla: Sells carbon credits to buy Bitcoin, which requires as much energy (not always Green energy) as a small country to mine."
