Elon Musk was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2021 and said in his interview that cryptocurrency Dogecoin is better during transactions than Bitcoin.
Musk is considering adopting Doge as an alternative to payments due to the costs of sending money, said Dileep Seinberg, Founder & CEO of Think Chain, a blockchain and crypto consulting firm.
Elon Musk founded Paypal, among many other companies, and is a well-recognized “payment fintech business” in its own right.
“Bitcoin is a high-cost business for transactions, whereas Dogecoin offers low-cost solutions in order to gain popularity,” Seinberg added. Dogecoin may become a more sought-after coin on the cryptocurrency market and move up in value over the next few months.
