Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter and renowned supporter of Dogecoin in the crypto industry, surprised many with his recent statements on cryptocurrency, deviating from his usual remarks.
During a conference organized by the Wall Street Journal, Musk clarified that he had never advised individuals to invest in cryptocurrency or specifically mentioned buying DOGE. While he reiterated his fondness for Dogecoin due to its humorous nature and iconic dog logo, he distanced himself from previous claims that DOGE would become the internet’s currency.
In terms of crypto investments, Musk emphasized the importance of caution and urged investors not to put all their savings into Dogecoin or any other cryptocurrency. This shift in perspective reflects his recognition of the inherent risks associated with crypto markets, departing from his previous positions.
Musk’s involvement in the Dogecoin market, often through his actions and statements, has led to significant fluctuations in its value. In the past, he even changed his Twitter logo to the DOGE logo, quickly influencing the market with his remarks. However, his recent comments on Dogecoin did not cause a significant price change.
The enthusiasm of Musk, who holds positions at both Twitter and Tesla, for DOGE has not been without its challenges. A group of investors filed a lawsuit against him, alleging that his Dogecoin posts amounted to a Ponzi scheme, seeking $258 billion in damages.
Despite the absence of any major announcements about Dogecoin this time, Musk manages to maintain the cryptocurrency’s presence in the public eye. Currently, DOGE is trading at around $0.071, experiencing a slight decline of nearly 3% in the past 24 hours, influenced by the overall market conditions. Looking ahead to the outlook for DOGE in 2023, it appears to have lagged behind in terms of recovery compared to the first quarter of the year.
Although DOGE showed promising upward movement earlier in the year, it failed to sustain itself above the psychological threshold of $0.1. At present, the cryptocurrency is once again testing the support level of $0.07, which has served as a significant zone of support throughout this year.
