Hard to imagine anyone but Bitcoin true believers doing this. It’s basically throwing money away if BTC continues going up

[toomuchredbull]

Bitcoin true believers are the ones who wouldn't do this because they believe it will keep going up.

[BoorishBears]

Why? Don't true believers believe BTC has use besides being an unregulated speculative vehicle? So they'd love the normalization of buying something as major as a car with it?

Or are we just admitting that pretense is gone with the wind and now "true believer" refers to the HODL crowd?

[meddlepal]

BTC true believers believe its a currency not a speculative asset you hold and it magically appreciates in value.

[alwillis]

It's not magic:

    Bitcoin is a non-sovereign, hard-capped supply, global,
    immutable, decentralized digital store of value. It’s an
    insurance policy against monetary and fiscal policy
    irresponsibility from central banks and governments
    globally. — @Travis_Kling

Why, then, would you buy a tesla and not bitcoin? A car only depreciates in value.

[robjan]

If you need a car, you need a car. I don't think anyone sees them as an investment other than "an investment in being able to get from A to B on one's own terms"

[st1ck]

Are there any Tesla buyers who just "need a car"?

[akmarinov]

They won't be converting BTC purchases to fiat currency, so no throwing away of money.
