The diamond hands reference was construed to be a desire not to sell Tesla’s Bitcoin (BTC) holdings even in the present adverse market conditions. The tweet also earned him the wrath of several in the cryptocurrency community with the author and entrepreneur Timothy Kim calling him the “most hated person in the world right now.” While the diamond hands tweet did support the price of BTC temporarily, the downwards momentum is still strong. BTC traded 10.38% lower at $37,369.63 on a 24-hour basis at press time on Wednesday night. On an intra-day basis, the apex coin hit a low of $30,681.50 and a high of $41,286.79.
