Elon Musk recently announced that it will soon be possible to buy a Tesla with Bitcoin in the US — news that could definitively bring the cryptocurrency into the mainstream.
With the price of Bitcoin currently riding high over $50,000, you’ll need a bit less than one Bitcoin to buy a standard Tesla Model 3, or a bit more to buy the Performance model.
On the internet, Bitcoin has for a long time been associated with buying drugs or weapons on the dark web.
Currently, there aren’t many brands that accept payment by Bitcoin, whether in real-world or online stores.
Plus, sellers and services that do accept Bitcoin do so at their own risk, notably of seeing its price crash.
