Well if this isn’t an indication that the world is becoming more and more digitalized, then I don’t what is.

The New Port Beach Lamborghini dealership in California has just announced that they have sold their first car – a used Tesla Model S – to a customer who paid for the car using Bitcoins. 

Bitcoin is a new age digital currency that has taken the world by storm in recent months. Although they have been in use for a few years now, Bitcoins have recently skyrocketed as a legitimate currency in many avenues.

Two weeks ago, a flight attendant from Hawaii bought a trip to space (on Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic space traveling service) using Bitcoins. Many other things can be purchased using Bitcoin – from books to music to super fancy electronics.

However, this is the first time (that we know of) that a car has been bought using Bitcoins.

The New Port Beach Lamborghini dealership announced the controversial transaction on it’s blog, and with it announced that they will now be accepting Bitcoins as a legit form payment option for any car purchases at their dealership.

It was not clear how much the new Tesla owner paid for his car in Bitcoins, but it is believed that it was upwards of $100 000 in ‘real’ money. with Bitcoins trading at round about $900 each, the customer had to pay more than 100 Bitcoins.

The world as we know it might is chaining – and it’s changing fast. However, its not all bad. Just think; if you can collect enough Bitcoins, you might be driving away in a Tesla Model S (although we know its way more complicated than that!) Either way, good on the anonymous buyer in New Port – we’re sure he deserves his new ride.
