Elon Musk, one of the most influential entrepreneurs of our time, has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to impact the cryptocurrency market with his statements on social media, especially on Twitter. Oksana Belyanskaya, CEO of Rocket PR, believes that Pavel Durov will behave similarly in the crypto market.
Elon Musk, one of the most influential entrepreneurs of our time, has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to impact the cryptocurrency market with his statements on social media, especially on Twitter. Oksana Belyanskaya, CEO of Rocket PR, believes that Pavel Durov will behave similarly in the crypto market.


Here are a few specific examples of how Musk's tweets have led to significant fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices:



"Bitcoin is my safe word": In December 2021, Musk tweeted that Bitcoin was his "safe word." This positive comment caused a substantial increase in Bitcoin's value, confirming the impact of his statements on the cryptocurrency market.

Twitter Bio Change: In January 2022, Musk added the hashtag "#bitcoin" to his Twitter bio. This simple action led to a 20% increase in Bitcoin's value within a few hours.

"Dogecoin to the Moooonn": In February 2021, Musk conducted a Twitter poll with the phrase "Dogecoin to the Moooonn." As a result, Dogecoin's value surged by 35%. Musk also stated that Dogecoin was his favorite cryptocurrency, leading to its price increasing by over 500%.

Tesla and Bitcoin: In June 2021, Musk announced that Tesla would start accepting Bitcoin as payment once clean energy usage by miners was confirmed. This statement caused Bitcoin's price to rise.

DOGE for Merchandise: A tweet about Tesla accepting Dogecoin for merchandise purchases led to a 43% increase in Dogecoin's value.


However, not all of Musk's tweets had positive effects. After his appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in May 2021, Dogecoin's value dropped by 34%, contrary to expectations of a price increase.


Pavel Durov: The New Elon Musk in the Cryptocurrency World?


Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram and the TON blockchain platform, also has ambitions to influence the cryptocurrency market. Recently, he demonstrated his ability to impact the price of the Notcoin (NOT) token, issued on the TON platform and closely associated with the Telegram messenger.


On July 4, 2024, Durov posted on his Telegram channel, highlighting the success of the NOT token. He reported that tokens worth $6 million, gifted to him by users, were worth $24 million at their peak ATH. The trading volume of the token exceeded $4 billion, and the coin entered the top 5 in popularity among traders.


Additionally, users have gifted Durov a significant number of NOT tokens, which could motivate him to influence the value of the coins he owns. According to Notcoin, he was gifted more than one billion NOT tokens.


According to Oksana Belyanskaya, CEO of Rocket PR, Pavel Durov will test his ability to influence the market by making statements similar to Elon Musk. This will make Notcoin (NOT) extremely volatile and create additional risks for investors. "Nevertheless, with positive statements from Durov, the price of NOT could reach $0.5 - $0.7 by the end of the year," says the CEO of Rocket PR.


The highest price of NOT did indeed reach $0.028, confirming its potential for further growth under favorable conditions and statements from Durov.
