The Dealer Center Post Oak Motor Cars, owned by billionaire Tilman Fertitta, began accepting bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash for payment. The purchase of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Bugatti can now be made from anywhere in the world through the BitPay payment system, as reported in the official Twitter-account of the platform.
“The rising of bitcoin sparked my interest. Being a premier luxury car dealer, I always want to offer my customers the very best buying experience and this partnership will allow anyone around the world to purchase our vehicles faster and easier,” commented Tilman Fertitta.
The representative of the BitPay platform Sonny Singh added that recently customers increasingly prefer to pay for large purchases in bitcoin, and since Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Bugatti cars are very popular in the world, the payment system could not but provide an opportunity to purchase them with digital money.
Earlier, The White Company, which calls itself “purveyors of luxury to the cryptocurrency world,” put up for sale the Lamborghini supercar - the newest Aventador LP-750-4 SV Roadster. This is the fastest model in the line, according to roadandtrack.com.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
- In recent years more and more news appear that one or another place began to accept cryptocurrency. However, often this is nothing more than a marketing move. Unfortunately, digital money wouldn't be used as a means of payment in everyday life for a long time, although bitcoin was created as a means of payment, and is actively promoted as a currency.
- At the same time, there are the opponents of cryptocurrencies as a universal means of payment development. For example, Brad Garlinghouse, the head of Ripple, believes that traditional money does an excellent job of its functions, so there is no point in replacing them.
