当下最热门的App是哪个？
估计不少会说Clubhouse，这个App目前估值达到10亿美元，在不到一年的时间里就成为独角兽。
据悉，Clubhouse由PaulDavison和前谷歌员工RohanSeth共同开发，在去年4月上线，目前采用邀请制注册，已拥有超过200万用户。
2月1日，埃隆·马斯克首次登录了Clubhouse，并参加了一场a16z聊天室问答活动。与他一起聊天的嘉宾，还包括知名风投公司A16Z的联合创始人MarcAndreessen、知名天使投资人SriramKrishnan等。
在2月1日的分享中，马斯克分享了有关比特币及区块链、GameStop、Robinhood等热门话题。
比特币与狗狗币
关于比特币，马斯克提到2013年，一个朋友用比特币给他送了一块蛋糕。
他表示："我应该在8年前就买它，在这一点上，比特币是个好东西。我是一个支持者。我加入的时间比较晚，但我支持它。"
马斯克另外提到，很明显比特币正在被传统金融界接受。
"我对其加密他货币没有什么意见。"但他表示狗狗币最开始是作为MEME来取笑加密货币的，但"命运就是喜欢讽刺"。
而在马斯克分享的观点中，他提到自己非常喜欢混乱。"最有趣的结果是最有可能的。"他说最讽刺的结果是狗狗币成为未来的通用货币。
不过马斯克另外提到他之前开了一个关于比特币的玩笑，很快他的Twitter账户被封了。
马斯克把他带回来：“人们要求答案，他们想知道真相。”
Gamestop与Robinhood
戏剧性转折，随着RobinhoodCEO——VladTenev的到来出现。
马斯克直接问Vlad：来告诉我们到底发生了什么，是不是有什么内幕？
马斯克所指的事情，是上周“Gamestop事件”之后，Robinhood宣布对包括游戏驿站GameStop和电影院线AMC等多支股票限制交易，仅允许用户卖出股票，并调高了对部分个股的保证金的要求。
此举令Robinhood遭到集体诉讼。用户要求Robinhood赔偿因交易中断所带来的损失。Robinhood在周五一度放松限制。
Vlad对此的回复道：上周四凌晨3:30，我们的运营团队从NSCC(国家证券结算公司)那里收到了一份文件。这就是Robinhood的用武之地。我们必须根据一些因素向NSCC注资，包括某些证券的交易活动的波动性。所以，他们给了我们一份存款文件，要求大约30亿美元，你知道，这比通常的数额高出了一个数量级。”
马斯克对Vlad的回复似乎更加感兴趣，很专业的追问了一系列问题，包括“这30亿美元是怎么算出来的？”、“凌晨3:30收到邮件，很可疑啊”、“有人要挟你吗？”……
对这样穷追不舍的盘问，Vlad最后只能草草回复道：有点阴谋论了。

美众议院立法辩论称马斯克“X”公司或通过发行稳定币将自己打造成全球支付提供商:金色财经报道，美国众议院金融服务委员会今日已表决通过稳定币监管法案《支付稳定币透明度法案》（The Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act），不过该项即将出台的立法可能会为大型科技公司发行稳定币打开大门。据悉，在相关立法辩论中，美国众议院金融服务委员会特别提及X公司（前身为推特，被马斯克收购后最近更名为X）并提出一个重要担忧，即：X公司可能会通过发行稳定币将自己打造成全球支付提供商，尤其是其新任首席执行官Linda Yaccarino已经明确表示要将X公司转型为全方位通讯和金融中心。（U.today）[2023/7/28 16:05:00]

分析：DOGE最大匿名持有者“Robinhood”或是马斯克:11月3日消息，据链上分析师披露，狗狗币DOGE最大匿名持有者“Robinhood”或是Elon Musk本人，该地址在2022年7月19至21日的三天时间里从5个地址收到了总计410亿枚DOGE，而这5个地址中的DOGE主要来自于另一个地址：DH5yaieqoZN36fDVciNyRueRGvGLR3mr7L，该地址曾被认为就是Elon Musk的地址。
分析称，Elon Musk在2021年2月10日发推称为儿子购买了DOGE，巧合的是“DH5ya”地址在2月10日那天也在积累DOGE。2021年4月28日，Elon Musk在社交媒体发文自称已经成为“The Dogfather”，而当日“DH5ya”地址因持有367.1亿枚DOGE（占总供应量28%）成为了最大持有者。有趣的是，该地址在2021年Elon Musk生日的时候收到了3次28.061971枚DOGE，而Elon Musk的出生日期就是1971年6月28日，因此推测该地址实际持有者或是Elon Musk。[2022/11/4 12:14:59]

神秘地址持有狗狗币27%市场供应量，社区成员推测该地址或属于马斯克:加密社区成员现在已经发现一个狗狗币地址，持有超过360亿个DOGE（25亿美元）。该匿名地址控制着DOGE市场供应量的27％，排名前20位的地址合计占代币总供应量的50％。显然，这个神秘的狗狗币地址似乎在它发出的交易中隐藏了信息。在Reddit上，用户们通过r/ cryptommarkets和r/dogecoin subreddits破译了其中一个，其中包括特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克的生日。一些人甚至根据马斯克关于狗狗币的推文的时间以及地址进行的交易，推测该地址可能属于埃隆·马斯克。[2021/2/13 19:39:59]
