Elon Musk just announced that you can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin. He also says that they will not convert the BTC to fiat.
It was already late when I heard the news about Elon Musk. I just read it here in the forum few days after. I believe this whale gives a great help for the publicity of Bitcoin. Of course, this can be also a good reason for the price of Bitcoin to rise. I want to keep holding my bitcoin. I am also thinking that any other big business may follow this mode of payment if Tesla earn positive result through this strategy. In that case, Bitcoin will keep on becoming more expensive than today.
This news is quite old now however i would really like to know if anyone really bought Tesla car using bitcoin ? Do we have any such data where we know how many people used bitcoin to buy tesla products ?
I have read that there are people who buy Tesla cars using one of the altcoins but I have forgotten what the name of the altcoin is but what is certain is that Tesla can be bought using real bitcoin.
It is possible that if Tesla wants to develop also not to accept only bitcoins, but there is the possibility of providing an opportunity to be exchanged for bitcoin first with the help of Tesla. Anything is possible, but this is a very good development from Tesla to be able to accept payments in bitcoin.
it is clear and certain that Tesla will benefit if someone buys directly with bitcoin, because he does not need to search and buy, which obviously requires a broker and additional fees for every bitcoin purchase, there will be no fee if he receives bitcoin directly. This is a smart way that Tesla did to accommodate bitcoin.
