He further clarified that when a Twitter user, Loshan, argued that the larger blocks and low fees that will leave the Dogecoin network quite vulnerable to attacks:
“For those bad at math. 100X higher transaction volume with 100X lower fees means total fees earned stay same. Low fees & high volume are needed to become currency of Earth.”
Musk one of the original founders of PayPal long touted Dogecoin as the next big thing. Last week, he announced that his space exploration company, SpaceX will launch DOGE-1 as the first-ever commercial Lunar payload paid for Dogecoin that will be the 1st meme in space. Dogecoin developer Ross Nicoll said that Musk has been in touch with Dogecoin’s development team since 2019 and has already increased over the blockchain. Nicoll said that the team of four part-time developers decline funding from Musk and the DOGE original founders, Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus who have long abandoned the project.

One of the reasons that Musk is plugging Dogecoin is that he believes it can become more environmentally friendly than BTC. Over the past week, Tesla discounted payments in BTC on environmental grounds that crashed the price of the coin and the crypto market at large. Musk’s suggestion for Dogecoin reform could not be news to Dogecoin developers after all. But the rest of us, it gives a glimpse into what Musk considered an ideal cryptocurrency.
