Bitcoin Trade at Towering Altitudes
In a thrilling promotional endeavor, Bitcoin Suisse has claimed to conduct the highest Bitcoin trade ever, taking to the skies—quite literally—on July 13. This daring feat took place at the summit of the Breithorn mountain range in the Pennine Alps, soaring 4,164 meters above sea level, which is almost equivalent to 2.59 miles. That’s higher than most of us are ever prepared to reach on a good day!
The Numbers Behind the Stunt
With a staggering altitude as the backdrop, nearly 70 brave souls participated in this high-flying publicity stunt. Bitcoin Suisse’s official Twitter account proudly announced,
“NEW ALL-TIME HIGH! On July 13th, Bitcoin Suisse conducted the highest bitcoin trade ever recorded on the summit of Breithorn, Switzerland, 4164m above sea level.”
Gasps and cheers from the cryptocurrency community likely echoed through the mountains—it’s not every day you make a trade that could leave you breathless!
Crypto Climbing Spirit: Is It a Bit Much?
While the stunt was undoubtedly remarkable, it also led to some playful banter. Cryptocurrency startup Luffe chirped in on Twitter, commending the initiative but cheekily noting it may be “a little bit ‘over the top.’” And when it comes to prancing around at high altitudes, one wonders—what’s next? A space launch to trade Bitcoin in zero gravity?
A Look Back: High Altitude and Crypto
This isn’t the first time the convergence of cryptocurrency and extreme heights has sparked conversation. Back in May 2018, an ambitious initiative by the Ukrainian social network ASKfm involved a climb to Mount Everest, where a Ledger hardware wallet loaded with tokens was left at the summit. Sadly, that adventure resulted in tragedy when Lam Babu Sherpa lost his life. It’s important to remember that fun stunts can carry risks—especially when heights are involved.
Crispy Crypto Deals
The trend of mixing high spirits with cryptocurrency doesn’t stop there. In an unexpected twist, KFC Canada ventured into the cryptocurrency realm with a new menu item called the Bitcoin Bucket, exclusively purchasable with Bitcoin. Who knew you could swap your crypto for fried chicken? Talk about a golden (crispy) investment!
Looking Ahead: Compliance and Licenses
In a more serious vein, Bitcoin Suisse has recently applied for banking and securities dealer licenses from Switzerland’s finance regulator. This step indicates a commitment to compliance and stability in an otherwise tumultuous crypto market.
