The Bitcoiners, as Bitcoin owners are called, regretted Elon Musk's tweet that made the price of BTC plummet. Bitcoiners express their complaints through the account @DebyColes.

"Nooo. I just got 10 percent (profit) after losing and now the crypto market is crashing again. Why did you do that to us?”, Coles commented.

Another Bitcoiner commented on the tweet, “Screw yourself”, said Timothy S Kim via @Timothy_skim account.

In addition, one of the founders of Dogecoin, Billy Markus @BillyM2K also commented on the post, "Elon... I put my trust in you".

Dogecoin supporter Matt Wallace @MattWallace888 argues that the post signifies Elon Musk will leave Bitcoin and switch to Dogecoin.

“Elon Musk left Bitcoin in favor of Dogecoin”, Wallace wrote.

To date, Elon Musk's tweet posted this morning has invited many people to join in and comment on the tweet. It is not yet known whether Wallace's opinion that Musk will switch to Dogecoin is true or not.

If you refer to the previous information, where Elon is trying to help the development of Dogecoin and his plans for DOGE to be used as a future cryptocurrency, Wallace's opinion is probably right.
