当下最热门的App是哪个？
估计不少会说Clubhouse，这个App目前估值达到10亿美元，在不到一年的时间里就成为独角兽。
据悉，Clubhouse由PaulDavison和前谷歌员工RohanSeth共同开发，在去年4月上线，目前采用邀请制注册，已拥有超过200万用户。
2月1日，埃隆·马斯克首次登录了Clubhouse，并参加了一场a16z聊天室问答活动。与他一起聊天的嘉宾，还包括知名风投公司A16Z的联合创始人MarcAndreessen、知名天使投资人SriramKrishnan等。
在2月1日的分享中，马斯克分享了有关比特币及区块链、GameStop、Robinhood等热门话题。
比特币与狗狗币
关于比特币，马斯克提到2013年，一个朋友用比特币给他送了一块蛋糕。
他表示："我应该在8年前就买它，在这一点上，比特币是个好东西。我是一个支持者。我加入的时间比较晚，但我支持它。"
马斯克另外提到，很明显比特币正在被传统金融界接受。
"我对其加密他货币没有什么意见。"但他表示狗狗币最开始是作为MEME来取笑加密货币的，但"命运就是喜欢讽刺"。
而在马斯克分享的观点中，他提到自己非常喜欢混乱。"最有趣的结果是最有可能的。"他说最讽刺的结果是狗狗币成为未来的通用货币。
不过马斯克另外提到他之前开了一个关于比特币的玩笑，很快他的Twitter账户被封了。
马斯克把他带回来：“人们要求答案，他们想知道真相。”
Gamestop与Robinhood
戏剧性转折，随着RobinhoodCEO——VladTenev的到来出现。
马斯克直接问Vlad：来告诉我们到底发生了什么，是不是有什么内幕？
马斯克所指的事情，是上周“Gamestop事件”之后，Robinhood宣布对包括游戏驿站GameStop和电影院线AMC等多支股票限制交易，仅允许用户卖出股票，并调高了对部分个股的保证金的要求。
此举令Robinhood遭到集体诉讼。用户要求Robinhood赔偿因交易中断所带来的损失。Robinhood在周五一度放松限制。
Vlad对此的回复道：上周四凌晨3:30，我们的运营团队从NSCC(国家证券结算公司)那里收到了一份文件。这就是Robinhood的用武之地。我们必须根据一些因素向NSCC注资，包括某些证券的交易活动的波动性。所以，他们给了我们一份存款文件，要求大约30亿美元，你知道，这比通常的数额高出了一个数量级。”
马斯克对Vlad的回复似乎更加感兴趣，很专业的追问了一系列问题，包括“这30亿美元是怎么算出来的？”、“凌晨3:30收到邮件，很可疑啊”、“有人要挟你吗？”……
对这样穷追不舍的盘问，Vlad最后只能草草回复道：有点阴谋论了。

澳洲喜剧演员Jim Jefferies持有的比特币数量是马斯克的4倍:澳大利亚喜剧演员Jim Jefferies持有的比特币数量超过亿万富翁Elon Musk。Jefferies最近透露，“我有一枚比特币。我在Robinhood应用程序上买它只是为了看看这个加密货币到底是怎么回事。”Jefferies还没有把他的代币转移到钱包里。
Jim Jefferies持有1 BTC（价值9612美元），而Musk在5月份证实其只持有0.25 BTC（价值2347美元）。据悉，Jefferies的净资产估计接近900万美元，这意味着他的加密货币投资仅占其资产的0.1％，低于亿万富翁Paul Tudor Jones的1％。（Cointelegraph）[2020/7/9]
