Dogecoin hit its highest level in seven months as the deadline for DOGE proponent Elon Musk’s Twitter deal approaches. Data from CoinWarz showed that the global hash rate of the blockchain has reached a value of around 815 TeraHashes per second [TH/s].
The time for the deal’s completion is drawing near, according to a recent report from Bloomberg, even though it has been noted that the social media giant is taking steps to get ready for the sale.
Elon Musk recently claimed to have a plan to get rid of them in response to a tweet by American internet personality and Bitcoin investor Dave Portnoy.
“Hey Elon Musk, can you please fix these bots on this piece of sh– the platform you got tricked into buying,” Portnoy tweeted. “I’m getting bot’d to death.”
To which Musk replied, “I have a plan.”
Back in April, the SpaceX CEO announced buying Twitter which he later backtracked alleging that the latter was withholding information about the number of bot accounts present on its platform.
According to the business magnate, more than 20% of Twitter accounts are bots. The microblogging site, however, placed this number under 5%. After the billionaire called off the agreement in July, Twitter filed a lawsuit to force the sale.
As of now, the agreement has been reinstated in exchange for Twitter dropping the lawsuit. Notably, the court has given the billionaire until October 28 to raise the $44 billion agreed upon, so he has just over ten days to complete the transaction.
It is believed that Musk will take action to integrate DOGE on Twitter after making the Twitter acquisition.
