Just a few days after shocking the world by updating his Twitter bio to include only “Bitcoin,” Tesla’s Elon Musk has doubled-down on his support on the cryptocurrency. In a recent speech, Musk stated that BTC is on the brink of a broader adoption from traditional financial representatives.
According to a Reuters report, Musk showed his recently-found favoritism for the primary cryptocurrency during a speech on the invitation-only social media app Clubhouse by stating that: “I am a supporter of bitcoin.”
As reported by Cryptopotato, the prominent entrepreneur and engineer stated that bitcoin is “on the verge” of being accepted by traditional investors and high-net-worth individuals.
Although he failed to disclose if he has purchased any portions of bitcoin now, he had expressed regret of now buying eight years ago when he was first introduced to the asset.
“I was a little slow on the uptake … I do think at this point that bitcoin is a good thing.”
