Tesla Bought $1.5 Billion Bitcoin

On Monday, Feb 8, Tesla announced it bough $1.5 billion bitcoin and would accept it as a payment method soon.

A few takeaways:

1/ There will be more companies using bitcoin to manage their cash, adding to the demand for it.

2/ Bitcoin as a payment method will be more mainstream. Now people not only can rely on selling it to the market, but maybe can buy a Model Y. The future question would be – what will the “economy” look like on Mars? I bet Bitcoin will be important.

Questions remain –

How Tesla is gonna price its cars? in fixed Bitcoin? that will cause a collision with USD, etc. as Bitcoin is volatile on a daily basis.
