I was wondering when this topic will come to the surface of the forum, and I read the
article 2 days ago - it means that the forum is a little late in gathering information.
What people dont realize is that Mr. Mars needs to be always in the media and hes addicted to it, and now apparently in the absence of some better topic hes started speculating about who Satoshi Nakamoto might be. The fact is that he knows nothing but what he has read, and he himself admits that some basic things are not clear to him - which does not make him as intelligent a person as many consider him.
Musk also told Fridman he doesn't understand ethereum-based smart contractsblockchain-based, self-executing contracts that run when certain, preprogrammed conditions are met.
"I never quite understood how this whole smart contract thing, you know," said Musk, joking, "I'm too dumb to understand smart contracts" and saying: "My general approach to any kind of like deal or whatever is just make sure there's clarity of understanding.
I doubt that he can even meaningfully define Bitcoin, blockchain or altcoin, but in order for people to listen to you, you don't necessarily have to be intelligent, you just have to have a lot of money. Furthermore, one thinks about which currency will be the official currency on Mars, which is absurd at the moment and will be for decades to come.
However, Musk went on to predict that the meme-based bitcoin rival dogecoin, or perhaps some other cryptocurrency, will eventually become the official currency of Marssomething Musk has previously hinted at with a proposed project to use his rocket company SpaceX to "put a literal dogecoin on the literal moon."
"I think Mars itself will need to have a different currency ... I don't know if Mars would have a cryptocurrency as a thing, but probably it seems likely, but it would be kind of a localized thing on Mars," Musk said, adding: "The future of Mars should be up to the Martians."
As a final thought, I don't care what this character thinks about anything related to Bitcoin, he is not at all competent to express his opinion about it.
