We assisted at a local crypto pump mainly due to the rate increase from FED. Elon Mush created a massive sell after the news that Tesla sold 75% of its bitcoins. What if they sold, liquidating assets, creating panic into the market and they bought them back at a lower price? Who is ready to bet one beer on it?

They have increased staff, given awards to those who deserved them, and are trying to retain good employees.
Could a company that is implementing these maneuvers ever be at the end of the line?
