SkyBridge Capital chief bets 0.005 BTC that Tesla will enter mining

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci predicted that within the next year one of Elon Musk’s companies would enter the market for environmentally friendly cryptocurrency mining.

Elon is not a half measures guy. I predict he will become a competitor/disruptor in the Bitcoin mining industry. I wager 500k sats that, within a year, Tesla/SolarCity will announce its entry into “super clean” bitcoin mining.

“Elon is not a man of half measures. I predict that he will overturn the Bitcoin mining industry,” wrote Scaramucci.

According to the businessman, Tesla or the SolarCity energy company will announce this within a year.

Scaramucci is willing to bet 500,000 satoshis (0.005 BTC or about $248 at the time of writing) on whether his forecast will come true.

Earlier, Elon Musk said that Tesla stops selling electric vehicles for bitcoin due to concerns about the environmental sustainability of cryptocurrency mining.

The market reacted to the announcement with a drop. According to CoinGecko data, the top cryptocurrency over the past 24 hours has fallen by almost 12% in value.
