The price of cryptocurrency Bitcoin has been repeatedly falling and rising in the tweets of celebrities such as Elon Musk.
According to CoinDesk, a cryptocurrency information site, as of 3 p.m. western time on the 4th and 7 a.m. Korean time on the 5th, the price of bitcoin was down 4.39% from 24 hours ago to $37,176.25.
The price of bitcoin fell the day before, after Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on Twitter an image of a broken heart and a conversation between a man and a woman breaking up with the word "bitcoin".
There were different interpretations of the meaning of this tweet, but there were many opinions that 'Musk wants to break up with Bitcoin'.
However, Musk soon posted a cartoon image of a woman looking at a man in a laptop screen and saying "I miss you", causing controversy over the true meaning.
Following Musk's tweet, his followers generally responded with 'Stop it', accusing Zhang Pengchao, CEO of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, saying, "It is irresponsible for tweets that cause financial losses to others." .
Bitcoin price rebounded after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted that he was considering creating a hardware wallet that could store bitcoins.
Jack Dorsey is also the CEO of payment service provider Square.
However, the rebound did not exceed the extent of the decline after Musk tweeted.
At the same time, Ethereum was also traded at $2718.87, down 4.05% from 24 hours ago, and Dogecoin was also traded at $0.3847, down 4.09%.
