As someone outside the financial scene and taking this in on the far side of the world from you, what I see is this. Bitcoin invited Elon Musk to join the club. What Musk has done with his tweet is a great favor to the Bitcoin community. They may try to counter-attack, but Musk now has global power: what he says goes above his critics. What the Bitcoin community must do now is get their product to green energy asap. What Musk is saying is, "hey, Bitcoin is a great thing, and I'm happy to join the club, but even I have to answer to the environmental activists, so please get off of carbon energy." The Bitcoin community should also do one more thing: get transaction times up in the thousands per second. Do you know that Bitcoin transactions can only be made at a maximum 7 transactions per second? They should do this because I can guarantee you that Musk will send over another loaded-tweet when the energy thing is cleared up. But this the great thing: this is doable and it will be a huge benefit to Bitcoin and get it on the same page as Visa and other crypto-currencies. But the last benefit is that when Musk tweets: "Wow, I see Bitcoin is up to 37,000 transactions per second and entirely using green energy, Tesla is buying another........" It's an opinion.
