While many of us average folk will be judged if we add #Bitcoin to our social media bios, the likes of Elon Musk, as well as Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey, will, and have been, celebrated for their Bitcoin banter.
Dorsey recently tweeted about a Bitcoin event, called ‘The B Word’, focused on education and action around cryptocurrency as more and more “companies and institutions get into the mix”.
Given Musk’s enjoyment of Twitter, he was among the first to reply to the invitation.
It would be fair to say that Dorsey is a huge fan of Bitcoin, while Musk oscillates between support and dismissal for the cryptocurrency.
In fact, Musk’s tweets can have a huge effect on the price of Bitcoin, which is why he has faced threats from the likes of ‘Anonymous’.
There was also the whole Dogecoin rise and fall.
The latest exchange between Musk and Dorsey has definitely put a spotlight on ‘The B Word’ event, reports NDTV:
[It’s] an initiative by the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI), a global alliance of crypto industry leaders, that aims to “demystify and destigmatise mainstream narratives about Bitcoin” and explain why institutions should embrace the digital currency.
Musk’s comment to the tweet got him an invite to chat at the event and share all his “curiosities”:
Bicurious?

Lmfao omg

That’s the world’s second-richest person dropping a ‘lmfao omg’.
The Twitter banter continued:
The comments in this thread are solid gold

The sound of gold sparked Dorsey’s ears, who then brought Euro Pacific Capital CEO Peter Schiff into the mix.
Schiff is known to be a Bitcoin sceptic who has repeatedly praised the value of investing in gold:
The comments in this thread are a long way from being #gold, but they come a lot closer than #Bitcoin.

It’s all fun and games in the world of billionaire tycoons and their cryptocurrency musings.
