#USUAL走势分析
(Forbes) magazine recently announced that Elon Musk's net worth exceeds $400 billion, making him the only member of the '400 billion club' on Earth. Stock god Warren Buffett once commented on Musk: 'We play games while he is doing big things; we just choose to do the easy things. We do not want to compete with Musk; it is often the case.'
Musk not only likes to do big things but also strategizes on a grand scale. He once destroyed $14 billion directly with a single tweet. Many people thought he was foolish, only to realize later that this was his setup.
1.
The timeline goes back to May 12, 2021.
Musk posted a tweet on social media Twitter (which was not yet called X and did not belong to Musk at the time) that shocked the cryptocurrency market:
"Tesla suspends the use of Bitcoin as a payment method. We are concerned about the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels, especially coal, in Bitcoin mining and transactions — which has the worst carbon emissions of all fuels..."
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves; the market immediately exploded in response, and Bitcoin's price plummeted by over 12% within hours. The entire cryptocurrency market evaporated $365 billion in market value in just one week, equivalent to Nigeria's annual GDP.
Many people thought the tech fanatic had really gone mad because just three months prior, his Tesla had invested a whopping $1.5 billion in the Bitcoin market, becoming the first global company to openly embrace cryptocurrency, seen as a significant milestone in the legalization of Bitcoin.
Musk also became a symbolic figure supporting cryptocurrency, bringing a huge endorsement effect to this controversial market. This led to a surge in Bitcoin, and by mid-April 2021, Bitcoin had reached a historic high of $64,000.
At the same time, Musk himself became a barometer for the cryptocurrency market. Every tweet he made about cryptocurrency acted like a magic wand, instantly causing significant price increases or decreases. Millions of global investors closely monitored his every tweet like a treasure map, analyzing and interpreting them.
Musk could not have been unaware of the significant negative impact his tweet about Tesla and Bitcoin temporarily 'decoupling' would have on the Bitcoin market. His 'stunning push' had already caused over 230,000 people in the cryptocurrency market to liquidate, with liquidation amounts reaching 14 billion.
Musk certainly was not crazy; he was orchestrating a game of 'killing multiple birds with one stone.'

Cryptocurrency seems to be flourishing, but it actually hides significant crises. The rapid rise in Bitcoin's price has attracted more and more investors, while also raising concerns about its sustainability.
Bitcoin mining activities require a massive amount of energy, most of which comes from fossil fuels, especially coal. Its environmental impact has increasingly come under scrutiny. According to relevant research institutions, the energy consumed by Bitcoin mining each year even exceeds that of some small countries.
At that time, Bitcoin was often criticized by detractors who argued that the development of these cryptocurrencies came at the cost of environmental sacrifice. In this context, Bitcoin faced a serious reputation crisis.
Musk's mission in founding Tesla was to promote the transition of the world towards sustainable energy. By publicly pointing out Bitcoin's environmental issues through his tweets, Musk not only reinforced Tesla's commitment to this mission and successfully positioned Tesla as a leader in the global environmental protection field, but also propelled the transformation of the entire cryptocurrency industry.
Shortly after he posted the tweet, many Bitcoin mining companies genuinely began to consider the issue of sustainability in the industry and started shifting towards renewable energy.
It can be said that Musk, through 'Twitter governance of cryptocurrency', demonstrated his strong influence in the cryptocurrency circle and established 'rules' for them: either adapt to the new situation as I say, or wait for liquidation and exit.

Musk's move also had another intention: to attract ESG investors.
What is ESG? ESG is an acronym for Environmental, Social, and Governance, which are key factors used to assess a company's sustainability and ethical responsibility. In recent years, it has gradually become an important investment philosophy and corporate action guide in the financial market. Companies with good ESG performance are more likely to gain favor from consumers and governments. Therefore, many large enterprises want to be included in the S&P 500 ESG Index.
Although Tesla pioneered new energy vehicles, it had not previously caught the attention of ESG. After Musk's maneuvering, Tesla's environmental awareness was amplified and highlighted under the heated public opinion.
These ESG funds managing trillions of dollars in assets began to view Musk as a business leader willing to advocate for environmental protection. That month (May), Tesla was included in the S&P 500 ESG Index (later removed is another story).

Having won the hearts of ESG, Musk was hated by countless cryptocurrency investors. At this time, Musk tweeted again: Tesla will resume accepting Bitcoin payments after Bitcoin mining reaches 50% renewable energy usage.
After the news broke, cryptocurrency surged again. If he wanted, he could easily manipulate the market, as he could 'create' the best buying point.
Of course, in this process, he also 'supports one while stepping on another', praising Dogecoin (another cryptocurrency) while flipping the situation with Bitcoin. The facade is dropped; it's all laid out in front of you. Just because you understand it, so what? Just like a famous internet investor scolded Musk, 'Elon, you have a responsibility. One second you say you want to buy something, the next second you say you don’t. This is playing with people's futures and destinies.'
To use that famous internet meme: I've never seen someone so arrogant in my life! When you see Musk, you've seen it all!
Recently, I plan to ambush a potential coin that's ready for a big surge; doubling it is quite simple. At the same time, I’m looking for some potential coins to hold until the end of the year, with an expected space of over 10 times, so no problem.
