Tesla CEO Elon Musk has suggested that U.S. Treasury transactions should be moved onto blockchain technology, sparking discussions within the blockchain community and government circles. Musk's idea is part of his efforts to reduce government spending through his Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) agency. There is speculation that if Musk goes ahead with the plan, Dogecoin, his favorite crypto project, could be considered as a potential candidate. The U.S. Treasury processes around $5 trillion annually, and if Dogecoin were to handle these transactions, it could have a significant impact on its price. AI chatbot ChatGPT predicts potential price changes for Dogecoin based on different market outcomes, estimating that if just 5% of the $5 trillion transactions were held in Dogecoin, the market cap could rise towards $250 billion, leading to a potential price of $1.28 in a moderate growth scenario, $2.56 in an extreme growth scenario, and potentially exceeding $5.00 in a highly speculative scenario. However, there are challenges to consider, such as potential inefficiencies in Dogecoin's blockchain due to high transaction volumes, government regulations, and the unlimited supply of Dogecoin diluting price gains. These projections are highly speculative.
