Tesla Inc TSLA CEO and DOGE-bull Elon Musk continues to keep Dogecoin DOGE/USD momentum alive with his occasional tweets supporting the meme coin.
Recently, on Twitter, he posted a meme video about Dogecoin.
He was responding to a tweet by Brett Winton, Director of Research at Ark Invest, about Bitcoin BTC/USD miners.
Winton posted a joke that features a short conversation between someone who understands Bitcoin and how the apex cryptocurrency is mined, and someone who does not know that “miners” are hardware.
Musk responded, posting a video about Dogecoin, saying it “explains everything.”

Replying to Musk’s Twitter thread, Winton said that his five-year-old child is already urging him to set up an account on Coinbase.
A meme too far for her I’m afraid

Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus also joined the Twitter conversation and called the video the "best cryptocurrency video in history."
