Crypto is money.
Full stop.
You can use it in ways that aren’t traditionally associated with money, like as a store of value, or for one of the myryad utilities that tokens can have (have you read this thread where some of the future utilities of our token UTK are mentioned?), but at the end of the day, the simple truth remains:
Crypto is money.
It is a better form of money. Safer. Faster. More convenient. It lends itself better to any purchase, really, but one of the verticals where it’s been making a massive splash is automotive.
So why is that?
Adoption likes tech
We are so used to cars by now that we almost forget what a marvel of engineering they are. Metal, plastic, maybe some glass and leather, and you have a machine that can propel your body at hundreds of kilometers an hour.
If you are using money that’s made of electricity, how could you possibly not love that?
We know a few things about the 300 million people worldwide that are using crypto: We know they are relatively young, relatively tech-savvy, and relatively wealthy.
How could that demographic possibly not be interested in a Tesla?
Buying with crypto is objectively better
So crypto users love cars, but why would they not simply use fiat to purchase them? That’s how it’s always been done, right?
Well, because crypto payments are faster, safer, and cheaper, that’s why:
- No hidden fees. No shenanigans. We will not charge you border fees, exchange rates, or literally any other fees. Ever.
- Use any wallet. We work with all of them. It’s up to you.
- Pick whatever currency is best for you. Bitcoin? Ethereum? USDT? USDC? Dash? EGLD? UTK? Should we go on?
- Truly global. Wherever you are, wherever the store is, all you need to worry about is shipping.
- Internet-grade security. Never share your personal information online again.
Buying with crypto is extremely easy
Here are the steps:
- Select “Pay with cryptocurrencies” at checkout or contact the merchant to order;
- Once the deal is agreed, the merchant will generate an invoice to be paid and send it to you by email or by sharing a payment link;
- Once you click on the email to pay or click on the link shared, our payment widget shows up with several currency options;
- Select the cryptocurrency of your choice. You will then have 15 minutes to pay with your preferred wallet;
- Scan the QR code (or paste the address) in your wallet;
- Confirm;
- Once the payment is completed, you’ll be notified.
Could it be that simple?
Yes. Here it is in video form:
