Elon Musk of Tesla, Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Cathie Wood of ARK Invest will discuss Bitcoin during "The ₿ Word" on Wednesday, July 21.
In a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine, “The ₿ Word” event organizer confirmed that the conference will feature a live discussion about Bitcoin between Elon Musk of SpaceX and Tesla; Jack Dorsey of Square and Twitter; and Cathie Wood of ARK Invest.
This discussion has now been officially confirmed following an initial Twitter thread exchange[2] in which Dorsey asked Musk to have a conversation with him about BTC, and Musk agreed.
The event is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, July 21 at 12:00 p.m. ET. This conversation in particular is poised to be a very interesting one, as Musk has recently been the focus of much of the Bitcoin community and its outside observers.
He garnered attention by changing his Twitter bio to “#Bitcoin”[3] in January, Tesla invested $1.5 billion in bitcoin[4] in February, he suspended a policy of Tesla accepting bitcoin payments over misunderstandings about Bitcoin’s energy use[5] in May and he then capitulated on that stance[6] in June.
This appears to be an opportunity for Dorsey, an outspoken advocate for Bitcoin[7], to illuminate Musk on some of Bitcoin’s nuances and guide his thinking and public statements in a more positive direction. Dorsey seems to be a good candidate for this challenge, as he’s very knowledgeable on this topic and seems to have Musk’s respect.
