Elon Musk Says Early Bitcoin Adopters Deserve Nobel Prize, Reveals Crypto Holdings

By Daily Hodl Staff

Tech titan Elon Musk is back on the Bitcoin gravy train. After saying crypto is a “far better way to transfer value than pieces of paper,” the Tesla CEO and PayPal co-founder is highlighting his thoughts on Bitcoin via Twitter.

According to Musk, long-time hodlers of Bitcoin deserve the Nobel Prize for their strength and perseverance.

Musk is also confirming his decidedly limited crypto portfolio. He says he still holds just 0.25 BTC that was given to him by a friend years ago – no altcoins.

Morgan Creek Digital founder Anthony Pompliano was quick to respond, asking Musk to give the Bitcoin Lightning Network a try to see how it improves transaction speed and lowers the cost of crypto transfers.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao also chimed in. He says he’s ready and waiting to trade some of his BTC for a shiny new Tesla.
