SpaceX CEO Elon Musk speaks at a press conference at SpaceX headquarters where he announced the Japanese billionaire chosen by the company to fly around the moon, on September 17, 2018 in Hawthorne, California. If the project is successful Yusaka Maezawa would become the first private citizen to fly around the moon.

Dogecoin has been one of the top growing cryptocurrencies in the world and has been inspired by the meme of Doge that has been established since 2018. Initially started as a joke, Dogecoin has now grown to more than $50 billion in value, but still has an affordable market price below $1 and remains in the top 3 spots in most markets.

Recently, Musk revealed that SpaceX would soon do a mission called Doge-1, where it would launch a satellite in the name of Dogecoin after its beneficiary used the cryptocurrency to pay for the launch. Soon after, Tesla dropped Bitcoin as a source of payment and even its trading, due to its heavy use of coal-based energy which pollutes the environment.

According to Coin Market Cap, $DOGE is at the fourth spot in the lists (next to Binance Coin) and is up by 8 percent (as of Thu, May 13) with a market price of $0.47.

Elon Musk Still Believes in Cryptocurrency

Despite the many controversies that surround the use of cryptocurrency, Musk still believes in its use and relevance in society, amidst learning that Bitcoin still uses coal energy for its processes. Upon learning of its process and mining, Tesla, along with Musk, has dropped the use and trading of the cryptocurrency up until it uses an alternative source.

Amidst this issue, the Tesla CEO reveals that he still believes in the use of cryptocurrency, especially as it is a relevant process of transaction in the modern age, as it remains a blockchain payment in the market. Crypto's blockchain is foolproof and helps most transactions to be secure, and Musk only wants it to be environmental-friendly and avoid coal usage.
