JAKARTA - A Thai citizen reportedly bought a Lamborghini using Bitcoin (BTC). Jo Chirawat manages to drive the Lambo after paying a down payment at a luxury car dealership.

No kidding, the purchase of a luxury car is facilitated directly by the crypto trading platform, Zipmex. In addition to the cash advance in the form of Bitcoin, the remaining payment will be paid off with the crypto money created by Satoshi Nakamoto. Therefore, Chirawat became the first Asian to use Bitcoin to buy Lambo.

“This is a milestone for Zipmex, Renazzo Motor, and crypto asset payment systems in Southeast Asia. The Lamborghini brand certainly has a special meaning and we are very pleased to be able to provide our users with the opportunity to do more with their crypto assets, ”said Zipmex boss Marcus Lim in his official statement on Thursday 29 April.

The price of Bitcoin has increased drastically since the beginning of 2021. The skyrocketing price of BTC is caused by a number of factors, one of which is the foray of giant companies such as MicroStrategy and Tesla to invest in Bitcoin.

On the other hand, a number of parties predict the Bitcoin price will continue to increase. One of them is from the boss of the crypto exchange Kraken, Jesse Powell. The CEO of Kraken predicts that Bitcoin will increase to millions of dollars next year.

"At the end of this year Bitcoin will be worth Lambo and next year one Bitcoin worth Bugatti" said Powell as quoted by Newsweek.

This event proves that crypto money is starting to be accepted by a number of parties. However, investing in crypto money carries risks that must be borne by its investors.

Given the high level of volatility. CoFTRA said that crypto investment is only for investors who are willing to bear high risks.
