The anniversary of bitcoin's first official transaction is celebrated each year on May 22nd. When Elon Musk announced on Twitter Tesla would no longer be accepting bitcoin as payment for vehicle purchases, the decentralized digital currency took a massive dip. Diving below $31,000, it sparked a highly charged debate on Twitter with one side yelling to buy the dip and the other side declaring it’s a scam. One day later, it climbed back up to $41,000 and the Twitter wars de-escalated.
