Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk posted a series of tweets about Bitcoin that surprised the community. Musk’s cap now names the ex-CEO of Dogecoin.
The jokes were about the stop word. In BDSM practice, this is a pre-agreed word that partners use to stop a session.
One of the tweets named Bitcoin as such.
Just kidding, who needs a safe word anyway!?

Last year Musk became the winner a comic April Fool’s poll in which users were asked to vote for the most suitable candidate for the position of CEO of Dogecoin.
“Dogecoin may be my favorite cryptocurrency. He’s pretty cool, ”he wrote back.
