When cryptocurrencies were created they were thought of as currencies of the future and it seems that this will be a reality since Tesla announced that in the near future they will accept this form of payment as an exchange, in addition to a strong investment in Bitcoin.
The electric vehicle manufacturing company, owned by the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, announced in its annual report that during January 2021 they invested 1.5 billion dollars in Bitcoin and left open the possibility that in “the near future” they could accept said cryptocurrency so that people can get their vehicles and other services.
According to their annual report, when they begin to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment, it will be subject to applicable laws and initially, it will be limited and they may or may not settle once the cryptocurrency is received.
Such an announcement did not go unnoticed and caused Bitcoin to reach, this Monday, February 8 in the morning, its all-time maximum exceeding $ 43,000.
It is no secret that Musk is determined to bet on cryptocurrencies, as his Twitter account had the hashtag Bitcoin in early February and recently with just one tweet he raised the shares of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.
However, there is still time for the payment in Bitcoin to be made and it will be subject to the volatility of said cryptocurrency.
