Buying a Car With Cryptocurrency

With cryptocurrency being all the rage these days, you'll often come across phrases online such as "When Lambo" and "Waiting for my Lambo" on various digital Coin forums, such as those on Reddit. This phrase, of course, refers to the idea of being able to get such a great return on your cryptocurrency holdings that you'll be able to soon afford a Lamborghini or the equivalent.

This isn't just a pipe dream either. Take, for instance, the case of Peter Saddington, who is a 35-year-old computer programmer. After having invested in Bitcoin years ago, he was able to purchase a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, which is valued at $200,000, for only 45 Bitcoins. The price that Saddington paid for those 45 Bitcoins? Just $115. (See this CNBC article)

Bitcar.io takes a unique approach to buying a car with cryptocurrency. How so?

You'll be able to have fractional ownership of a collectible exotic vehicle instead of buying one, which you can trade on their peer-to-peer trading platform. Eventually, you can, in theory, trade up to the point of outright owning one.

Bitcar also uses an asset token called CAR that is meant to be stable in value it is backed by actual physical cars and tied to their value in US Dollars. The site accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC).

More and more dealerships are beginning to accept digital Coin as a valid form of payment both in the United States and worldwide. However, it's important to exercise caution if trading in cryptocurrency or outright buying some, as it can be very volatile overall.
