A “Redditor” a month ago leaked the purchase of Tesla in BTC .. he was a buffalo

For many, Tesla's purchase of 1.5 billion BTC was a surprise, but for everyone? Someone had already noticed, and well in advance, that the automaker was buying virtual currencies in large quantities, or it was all a hoax.

On January 2, 2020, over a month ago, a post on Reddit stated that "just bought 800 million Bitcoins" The post was published on the "r / Bitcoin" subreddit .

The author claimed to be a computer engineer commissioned by Tesla to design a bot that was to help her purchase virtual currencies.

“I am a software developer working on Tesla R&D in California, in the past 72 hours our company has bought 24701 BTC at an average price of $ 33142,” the post says.

He continued: “The way we did it was to buy small amounts of BTC every few seconds and large amounts of BTC after a drop of at least 1.5%. We did it with a bot, which we developed with Python and NodeJs ”. “I have no idea what will happen once this hits the papers, but I think the price will explode even more,” he concluded. "Thank me later."

“Thanks, Elon,” reads one of the comments on the post.

The funny thing is that the post was also added to the “r / Tesla” subreddit where it did not have positive votes and was flatly rejected as fraudulent.

Now a German jokerclaims to be the author of the post and to know nothing about Tesla, but to have written it under the influence of LSD. sure that if he was on a trip, it was a very lucky trip, and maybe now it is convenient for him to pass as a stoner in order not to pay duties, and taxes on capital gains.

Because if what he wrote were true, the 800 million dollars in BTC purchased would have made, to date, a considerable figure of 30%. In the end Tesla and Musk would have easily made a nice income with a very limited investment in time and a self-fulfilled prophecy.
