Understand Better Why Tesla Does Not Accept Bitcoin
In May, billionaire Elon Musk announced that Tesla would no longer accept payments in cryptocurrency, due to the electric car manufacturer’s concerns about the environment.
This news caused the asset’s price to drop by up to 15% in a short time, marking Bitcoin’s largest decline in 3 years. In a post on his social media, Elon Musk stated that Tesla is concerned about the rapid increase in the use of polluting fuels derived from oil that are linked to cryptocurrency. He also stated that while virtual currencies are a good idea, they cannot have a negative impact on the environment.
Elon Musk’s Tesla began accepting the cryptocurrency in March of this year. A report by Bank of America states that for every U$ 1 billion in bitcoins, about 1.2 million cars’ worth of carbon emissions are generated, which means that Tesla’s investments would be equivalent to putting 1.8 million combustion engine cars on the road.
