Key Takeaways

After Musk suggested X stream the fight and raise money for a veterans charity, Zuckerberg fought back and commented, “Shouldn’t we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?”
What does this mean for Crypto?
With Musk’s well-known links to the crypto world, it wasn’t a surprise to see Dogecoin asking if fight tickets could have the price in Doge. However, at the moment, there has yet to be an update on if this will take place.
Some new altcoins have also appeared, which have seen a spike in value. However, users should be wary as they will likely be pump-and-dump schemes rather than anything substantial. With crypto fans seemingly leaning towards Musk, there could be even more altcoins appearing as the event gets closer.
