    I genuinely want to know who wants to buy a vehicle with Bitcoin. It sounds to me like buying a car with gold or silver. Sure, you can if the other party accepts the payment, but why would you want to pay with something that will keep its value better than the object you’re buying?

      It’s more like someone selling their Apple stock to buy a Lambo.

      Sure they could keep their Apple stock and (probably unless the stock drops) buy two Lambos later. But they also want a Lambo.

      Same deal here. Sure maybe in a year they’d be able to get two Teslas. But also maybe in a year bitcoin will be worthless.

      Cars depreciate in value relative to normal money too but people still buy cars.
