Elon Musk said “I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about cryptocurrency. Hardly any. Hardly any at all.” However, he looks at Bitcoin as database for resource allocation, more than money. Musk added that fiat currency is fine as long as it doesn’t deflate much and the government doesn’t abuse their privilege to create more money.
