Dogecoin Skyrockets 20% In Minutes, Flipping Terra and Polkadot On News Of Tesla Acceptance

Image
Elon Musk’s tweet today that Tesla would begin accepting Dogecoin as a payment method for its merchandise has generated excitement among proponents and pumped the cryptocurrency’s price by 24% to $0.20, flipping Terra and Polkadot to become 9th largest cryptocurrency. “Tesla will make some merch buyable with Doge & see how it goes.”   The cryptocurrency is now 5,859% up over the past year, specifically helped by tweets and support by the billionaire. Musk has also said that he would support more established use cases. However, the highest price attainment for Dogecoin happened in May when it reached $0.68 and it has not been easy to defend that.

Non Fungible Tokens are still the most popular crypto subsector right now with over $10 billion sold in the last quarter, but unfortunately, only a few insider hands who are whitelisted to access the markets first are reaping most of the benefits from such sales.

In comparison, other users get a gain of just 20.8%. Whitelisting is common practice on NFT marketplaces whenever NFT building events are announced or when new collections are coming to the market. According to the study, it is nearly impossible for a user to get any excessive returns on minting purchases without a trader being whitelisted. “A very small group of highly sophisticated investors derive most of their profits from collecting NFT,” the study said. “This is especially...
