Elon Musk has done it again. Thanks to a tweet by the Tesla and SpaceX founder, prices of cryptocurrencies including Dogecoin and several obscure tokens saw a surge in the last 24 hours. So, how did Mr Musk achieve this? All Mr Musk had to do was share a photo of his new pet dog, a Shiba Inu puppy. In the image, the puppy is sleeping blissfully unaware of the ripples its photo has created in the cryptocurrency world. Along with the photo, the billionaire wrote in the caption “Floki has arrived”. Soon enough, Mr Musk's tweet went viral.
