Currently the 300 BTC is worth 12.4 million US dollars (approximately IDR 178 billion). Since the incident, a number of car dealerships have started accepting car purchases using cryptocurrencies.
On the other hand, this April Dutton Garage as one of the world's top retailers of exotic and rare cars, started accepting 30 cryptocurrencies after establishing a partnership with Australian crypto exchange, CoinSpot.
