Yes. I edited my post to reflect this. While Musk has a mammoth amount of control over Tesla (many CEO of publicly traded co's do not) I should have been more specific to Tesla's BTC not Musk personal holdings, if any.

If governments can't regulate its fluctuations, or tax its profits, why would we assume it will ever be a legal tender in any country. Imagine if a barrel of oil was tied to Bitcoin. How would transportation possibly budget their business? How would you operate any business that used fuel? How would you bid on contracts if you had no way to hedge the currency swings?

Governments shouldn't regulate. The market should.

Oh and any profits made by selling cryptocurrency has always been a taxable event

C'mon man. Crypto profits are capital gains, though I would assume the people mining it might might have some fancy accounting to determine the tax liabilities. El Salvador has basically made Bitcoin their official currency. "Normal" currencies fluctuate all the time.

Governments cant regulate the values of their own currencies, though they can do things that can influence what the value is(inflation/deflation as a result of spending policies). That's how George Soros made a lot of his money by causing several countries currencies to crash.

On "volatility"....

The natural state of almost everything on earth is always changing.

The odd attribute, the outlier, the weird thing is "stable".

If something is stable for any material amount of time it is manipulated. Volatility is just a matter of time.

If bitcoin remains extremely volatile like it has been it won't make it a viable medium of exchange for the masses

A futures based Bitcoin ETF doesn't even begin to budge my GAFmeter.

Reminder: With a small amount of education/work Bitcoin is extremely easy to self custody in a manner that even a State actor/military would have a tough time confiscating from you. Few understand this. Even fewer understand the implications.
