{"content":"🧐 Did Elon Musk Secretly Hide a Bitcoin Easter Egg in Grok? 🪙🚀 Counterparty aficionados see the model's silhouette as intentional. CCGBTCONE, coined on July 26, 2017, as part of the Oasis Mining set, is one of 300 cards and considered a pioneering Waifu NFT on Bitcoin. Musk's earlier flirtations are covered in a panel on the project website. The card originally appeared in his feed in October 2018, reappeared in a May 2020 skirmish with @Bitcoin, and became his profile image (with laser eyes) on February 20, 2021. Musk first used the character on October 22, 2018, when he tweeted a picture of a girl wearing a BTC-emblazoned frock with the phrase “Wanna buy some Bitcoin?” The tweet went viral in minutes, and Twitter froze Musk's account for hours on suspicion of hacking. He protested, “Twitter thought I got hacked & locked my account haha,” after regaining access. Although the tweet came 10 months after BTC's December 2017 peak around $20,000, the anime cameo contributed to Musk's reputation for price-moving memes in crypto culture. Musk's relationship with BTC grew from jokes to balance-sheet money in February 2021, when Tesla announced a $1.5 billion acquisition and acceptance of BTC for car payments. After 49 days, Musk ceased BTC payments due to the network's fossil fuel composition, causing a market drop of almost 10%. Tesla sold 75% of its assets in July 2022, generating $936 million. The manufacturer possesses around 10,725 BTC. Ani suggests throwback flirting, but Musk's latest business makes it clear. The billionaire said on July 7 that his “America Party” would support Bitcoin, stating that “fiat is hopeless.” The statement matches Tesla and SpaceX's persistent treasury exposure and shows how Musk, despite tactical retreats, maintains BTC close to his brand. Could Ani be a reference to CCGBTCONE or simply another Muskian irony? Musk's AI Grok denies the connection: “There's no definitive evidence to confirm that Grok's AI companion, specifically Ani, is the same as CCGBTCONE's Bitcoin Girl.
