Remember when Tesla made waves by accepting Bitcoin? That era feels like ancient history now. The real question buzzing around: will they bring crypto payments back to the table?
Think about it—back in 2021, you could actually buy a car with BTC. Then environmental concerns hit, and the brakes went on. Energy consumption debates cooled off since then, mining's gotten greener, but the payment option? Still MIA.
Would you buy a Tesla with crypto today if the option returned? The infrastructure's more mature now, Lightning Network's humming along, and institutional adoption's way different than four years ago. Maybe it's less about if and more about when.

To be honest, this matter should have been revived a long time ago; the environmental protection trap excuse no longer holds water.

Ngl, it's this trap again, once the dream of 2021 is over, there's no need to keep bringing it up.

It's been a long wait; I've been stuck in the same place for years.

To be honest, Tesla's recent move is just to ride the wave of popularity, now pretending like nothing happened... hilarious.

To be honest, I didn't understand when Bitcoin was used to buy TSL, and now it's even more absurd. Musk really treats the crypto world as a joke.
