On Monday (May 10), Facebook Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg got the crypto community excited by posting a photo of two of his goats, one of which is named “Bitcoin”.
Here is a tweet that has a screenshot of this post:

Of course, the reason for this excitement was not because the Facebook CEO likes goats but because he could be hinting that either he likes/owns Bitcoin, that Facebook has invested (or is about to invest) in Bitcoin for use as a treasury reserve asset, or both.
Here are a few reactions from the crypto community on Twitter:
