Car ownership is no longer as valuable of a commodity as it used to be a decade ago. In this day and ago, car-sharing and ride-hailing services are providing a viable alternative to owning a car, without the surplus of hassle in terms of maintenance, gas prices, and whatnot. Furthermore, the recent Volkswagen scandal is hurting the prospect of car ownership even more, as consumers are losing faith in car manufacturers. The sharing economy model, which may very well include Bitcoin and blockchain technology, is looking more and more appealing.
