Bitcoin is heading for its worst week since February, after Elon Musk's most recent tweets about crypto caused digital currencies to crash.

For months, the cryptocurrency markets have been buzzing watching the Tesla boss's tweets. His comments about dogecoin, a token that was born as a joke and has little practical use, fueled a rally that rose in value a hundredfold this year.

Musk's words plummeted the value of bitcoin this week after tweeting that Tesla would stop accepting it as payment due to environmental concerns.

Dogecoin is up about 25% after Musk's latest tweet.

"Working with Doge developers to improve the system's transaction efficiency. Potentially promising," Musk wrote Thursday after calling it a "scam" last week, leading to a decline in its price.
