Musk Supported Fresh Dogecoin Update

There are no specific figures confirming the reduction in commission at the moment, but experts argue that this move will allow cryptocurrency to top the list of digital assets that are most suitable and convenient for paying for purchases.

Therefore, Musk's attitude to Shiba-inu is understandable. As for DOGE, its capitalization exceeded $36 billion, and the price remains at $0.27. However, experts predict an increase in the value of the asset due to the upgrade.

"This is a financial bubble — and only": Billionaire John Paulson about Cryptocurrencies

Having made a fortune in short-selling and the subprime housing market, John Paulson told Bloomberg that cryptocurrencies cannot be shorted due to the high volatility, but even without these short-term problems, "they have no intrinsic value except for a limited number." "I would describe cryptocurrencies as a limited supply of nothing." — said the billionaire. Paulson is a well-known advocate of gold and other classic assets. According to him, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies differ from precious metals in that, even with their conditional scarcity, they decently fall in price at a critical level of inflation, when traders begin to panic to return their investments. That is why, according to the businessman, any crypto can collapse in a very short amount of time, provided that investors at a critical moment have a choice between classic and digital assets. Paulson summarized his thoughts on belief in digital money in one short comment: “Cryptocurrencies, regardless of where they’re trading today, will eventually prove to be worthless. Once the exuberance wears off, or liquidity dries up, they will go to zero. I wouldn’t recommend anyone invest in cryptocurrencies.”
