Tesla: From Being Mocked as a 'Silicon Valley Fraud' to a Cryptocurrency Legend😎

Who would have thought that Tesla, on the verge of bankruptcy in 2008, now hides 11509 bitcoins in its warehouse, worth over 13 billion! Looking back at the founding of Tesla in 2003, almost no one believed that electric vehicles could usher in a golden age. By the time of the 2008 financial crisis, Tesla's cash balance was only enough to last for 10 days, and the media even accused it of being nothing but a 'Silicon Valley scam.' At that time, the first-generation Roadster took a full 24 hours to charge, and the battery prices were outrageously high, resulting in only 500 units sold that year. It wasn't until the release of the Model S in 2012, with a range of over 400 kilometers and a revolutionary central control design, that Tesla finally seized the opportunity for a comeback!

In 2021, with a single command from Musk, Tesla spent 1.5 billion to buy bitcoins, instantly pushing the coin price to surge by 20% in a day. But shortly after, they backtracked citing 'environmental issues,' causing strong dissatisfaction in the crypto community. In 2022, during the bitcoin downturn, they sold 75% of their holdings, earning 936 million in cash; however, if they had held on at that time, their profits would have reached 20 billion... Now, Tesla quietly bought back 1789 bitcoins and currently holds 11509, becoming the fourth largest bitcoin holder in U.S. stocks.

So, what key points should ordinary people pay attention to?

🚗 **Car Buyers**: Model 3/Y remains the top choice for family cars, with strong range and many supercharging stations, but be cautious of the early Model S's battery cooling defects.

🪙 **Crypto Enthusiasts**: Tesla's holding changes are more reliable than Musk's tweets! Every time they increase their holdings, it causes fluctuations in coin prices, so remember to pay attention to their financial reports. #币圈暴富 #小白入圈必看
