$BTC The most ridiculous purchase for bitcoins occurred in 2018 when British millionaire Ken Armstrong bought a gilded unicorn statue worth $3.9 million for 100 BTC, at a rate of $39,000 per coin. At that time, it was about 100 BTC. The statue, created by a trendy sculptor, was meant to adorn his yacht, but during delivery, the unicorn's horn broke off, and the gilding began to flake off due to sea salt. Ken tried to get his money back, but the seller refused, stating that 'art is non-returnable.' The community on X joked: 'A unicorn for BTC is like burning money, but with magic.' Today, those 100 BTC would be worth $9.5 million—now that's real absurdity!
