就是熱愛比特幣，馬斯克嘆：早該買了
就是獨愛比特幣。特斯拉（Tesla）執行長馬斯克（Elon Musk） 1 月 29 號在 Twitter 自介上加了「bitcoin」主題標籤，就讓比特幣報價就飆高 20%；而最近，馬斯克在社群 APP「Clubhouse」表示，他是比特幣支持者，這場盛宴他來晚了，且比特幣將被傳統金融人士廣泛接受。
根據外國媒體 CNN Business 報導，馬斯克近日接受 Clubhouse 採訪時透露，比特幣是一件好事，而他是比特幣的支持者，這場盛宴他加入的晚了；長久以來，很多朋友都試圖說服我加入，顯然地，早在 8 年前就應該買一些比特幣了。
馬斯克上週才因為一個標籤，影響比特幣漲幅。1 月 29 日時，馬斯克在Twitter 的自介上加了 Bitcoin 標籤，並推文：「回過頭來看，這是無法避免的。」單單這個舉動，就讓比特幣盤中直線拉升，一小時內驟升 5,000 美元，報價飆高 20%，最高來到 37,299 美元；而目前比特幣價格回落至 33,843 美元附近。
報導指出，比特幣在過去的 12 個月裡，上漲了 260% 以上，包括 Paul Tudor Jones 和 Stanley Druckenmiller 在內的許多知名理財公司都接受了這種加密貨幣。馬斯克認為，比特幣未來將會被傳統金融人士廣泛接受。
而馬斯克也補充，他對比特幣之外的加密貨幣沒有特別想法，像是狗狗幣，那真的只是開玩笑，是用來取笑加密貨幣的一個玩笑。但沒想到的是，狗狗幣在馬斯克開了玩笑之後，也迅速飆升。

馬斯克投顧再度開張？一個 hashtag 讓比特幣報價盤中大飆一成
特斯拉（Tesla）執行長馬斯克（Elon Musk）的號召力顯然可以讓他再成立一家公司：馬斯克投顧。繼貼出一則狗狗圖像讓狗狗幣報價一夕之間爆噴 500% 後，馬斯克在 Twitter 又有新動作，他在帳戶簡介加入「#bitcoin」（比特幣），光這個舉動，就讓比特幣盤中直線拉升，飆漲一成。

馬斯克投顧近日頻頻開張，在助攻比特幣之前，馬斯克才剛對動作角色扮演遊戲《電馭叛客 2077》（Cyberpunk 2077）表示讚賞，帶動波蘭遊戲開發商 CD Projekt 股價聞訊大漲，成為受惠馬斯克推文的新一檔個股。

而在《電馭叛客 2077》的這則推文前 1 小時，馬斯克也才剛參與因 Reddit 軍團飆股交易遭到限制，散戶轉戰加密貨幣的狗狗幣大戰。當時散戶在 Twitter 懇求馬斯克幫忙，結果馬斯克真的在 28 日晚間發文貼出《Vogue》風格的狗狗圖像，立刻讓狗狗幣飆升。
在此之前，馬斯克投顧的傑作還包括助長 GameStop 軋空行情及 Etsy 股價的劇烈波動。其中，馬斯克分別只用了一個字「Gamestonk!!」及一句話「I kinda love Etsy」，就讓這兩檔股票股價暴衝與大幅震盪，讓人不得不佩服他「喊水會結凍」的實力。

從頻繁推文來看，馬斯克無疑是 Twitter 愛好者，除了抒發心情，Twitter 也幾乎成為他與大眾互動的主要工具。加上光靠 Twitter 一句話、一行字或甚至一個單字就能對市場有這麼大的影響力，也難怪先前傳出馬斯克解散特斯拉公關團隊後，正準備招募新血管理馬斯克本人的 Twitter 帳號。

A bitcoin stash worth $68 million was seized by German police, but the owner won’t give up his password
Germany police reportedly seized about 1,700 bitcoin, but the owner won’t give up his password.
“Perhaps he doesn’t know” the password, a German prosecutor told Reuters.
At Saturday’s bitcoin price, the stash was worth about $67.9 million.

German prosecutors reportedly are holding about 1,700 bitcoin confiscated from a bitcoin miner, but the man won’t give them his password to unlock the cryptocurrency.
“We asked him but he didn’t say,” Sebastian Murer, a prosecutor, told Reuters on Friday. “Perhaps he doesn’t know.”
At Saturday’s bitcoin price, the stash was worth about $67.9 million.
The bitcoin miner, who was from Kempten, Bavaria, was not named in the report. He was sentenced to about two years in prison after installing bitcoin mining software on others' computers, using them to remotely to build a sum of bitcoin, according to Reuters.
He reportedly kept his mined bitcoin in a password-protected digital wallet, which is a common way to hold the digital currency.
Without the password, there’s no way to open a digital wallet.

Last month, another man in Germany had a bitcoin stash of about $220 million rendered inaccessible because he’d lost his password. In January, a man from the Welsh city of Newport said he’d mistakenly thrown away about 7,500 bitcoin, worth about $275 million.
About $140 billion in bitcoin, or about 20% of all bitcoin, is stranded in wallets because forgot their passwords, according to The New York Times.
As the cryptocurrency has ballooned in the last few months, locked-out owners have watched the value climb. Bitcoin hit $40,000 last month for the first time, then $41,000, before pulling back. It’s since climbed again, and, as of Saturday, its 24-hour high was $39,982.81, according to CoinDesk.
