Cryptocurrencies may not be legal tender in Malaysia yet, but that did not stop a car dealer in Seri Kembangan, Selangor from offering customers the option to pay with Bitcoin and Ethereum
A banner stating as such, hung outside the Proton showroom, was posted on a Lowyat.NET forum thread earlier today, 5 January
The forum member who snapped the photo - Xccess - added that he "called them myself to verify this isn't a hoax, they said confirmed accepting Crypto."
The revelation caused quite a stir among netizens, some of whom questioned the stability of using Bitcoin to pay for a new car and cautioned that this may just be "bait" for a scheme
There's been a lot of hype surrounding the use of virtual currency in the past year, especially when news emerged that a nasi kerabu stall in Kota Bahru, Kelantan is offering customers the option to pay with Bitcoin

We also came across a recent Facebook post claiming that a clinic in Klang is also accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment
