Topic: Why is it Bitcoin and Lambo? And not Ferrari for example? (Read 142 times)
Because it's a meme, and memes are fixed expressions. It wouldn't be really as funny if people were using different expensive car names, because our brains woud have to think a bit more to get the joke, while "when lambo" is immediately understood. Maybe if in the early days another car brand was used for this meme, it would have stuck instead of the "lambo".
These are words used by people who want to hype any coin be it Bitcoin or altcoins. When I was actively involved with ICOs, it was a common word project owners use to paint a picture of the level wealth their target investors will make if they invest in their project. Lamborghini is a very popular car, the dream of many people and it depicts wealth and luxury. So the fastest way to get people charged up is to flaunt wealth in their faces through false hopes. That is what the hype of Lambo in crypto is all about.
just a sidenote:
the reason lambo's are defined as a status symbol is not just wealth, its also health
lambo's design means a obese person is not going to be a lambo owner. so those that buy lambo's are showing they have attained wealth and health status.
obese richguys usually show it off in a chauffeured bently or limo of something of larger design
This should be also added in the previous explanation as to why lambo is used in crypto. I don't know any other platform that uses lambo in their advertising except freebitco.in which they use until now especially when I received an email from them. I think that's enough already as to why lambo is used as a status brand in crypto instead of other brands that are more expensive than lamborghini brand. Maybe OP, should learn more about crypto history. the reason lambo's are defined as a status symbol is not just wealth, its also health

Why always Lambo and Bitcoin?
There are several rumors about the reason, but I think the story goes back to 2014 when a 4chan member bought a Lamborghini with the money he had from Bitcoin. He posted the picture on Reddit and then it became a sign of wealth for everyone who buys Bitcoin.It cost him about 210 bitcoins at that time. Today it costs you about 6 bitcoins.
It was mentioned in this ARTICLE that:
You could associate any car brand that you want or anything luxurious, it will all fall to the idea that people are too optimistic of bitcoin investment as a way to wealth. Especially at this moment wherein bullrun is much anticipated by many investors because of what happened on the previous Bitcoin halving. Things are valid but lt us not be too confident of things given that risk is always present.
Yup I do agree with your statement.
At the end of the day, it is just a symbol for wealth that people often associate with other stuff that are also branded as "luxury." The fact that you can purchase a Lambo signifies that you are indeed a wealthy person; and the fact that you own several BTCs makes you a perfect fit into this category. Thus, the slogan Lambo and BTC are often used with each other just as to signify your wealth in general.

Khaled Mazeedi, a tech entrepreneur and Youtube personality residing at the Palazzo Versace in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, paid in bitcoins to drive away in a 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo (price tag: US$150,000) in 2014 well before the crypto craze. The bitcoin investor is proclaimed to be the first man on earth to purchase a Lamborghini with bitcoin.
He wasn't the first Lambo buyer in the bitcoin community.
The first Lambo purchase was in 2013 by some guy who mined bitcoin in 2010 and later became a collector of physical bitcoins.
That’s when Jay (not his real name), then in his early 30s, and with the help of his wife who is also a Bitcoiner, used almost 217 BTC to purchase what is believed to be the original Bitcoin Lamborghini at the Lamborghini Newport Beach dealership. He then provided the evidence on the anonymous imageboard 4chan.

It's worth mentioning that he also took a jab at Bitcointalk in the article by saying that the community was toxic and the forum's administration had a share in that.

I don't know, maybe he did it for fame and just wanted to gain attraction, or he wanted to be known in history like Laszlo Hanyecz.

Mazeedi is noted for holding over 1000 BTC’s and bought the digital currency for less than US$285 a piece in 2012.
Mazeedi bought the exotic car from Dubai-based dealership, Sanam Cars, by handing over a Trezor wallet to pay directly in bitcoin

Just a stereotype of people when it comes on being rich but it has no substance at all. Quite aligned with the jokes of "if you're rich, where's your lambo?". Well there are other brands which are more expensive but Lambo is just a brand that will first come to your mind, when you are asked what do you want to buy once you become rich. Bitcoin is having an impression to many people for being a gateway on being rich due to high profitability, which is true in that aspect. However, risk is being disregarded. Not all investors are profitable due to various reasons;circumstances, decision making, and more. It'll all boil down to the fact that things aren't that easy even with Bitcoin investment.
You could associate any car brand that you want or anything luxurious, it will all fall to the idea that people are too optimistic of bitcoin investment as a way to wealth. Especially at this moment wherein bullrun is much anticipated by many investors because of what happened on the previous Bitcoin halving. Things are valid but lt us not be too confident of things given that risk is always present.

there are lots of social trend of some people (unrelated to bitcoin) shouting YOLO LAMBO, and other lambo related stuff as sign people attained wealth status
and then people getting great gains in bitcoin showed it off via getting a lambo
also there were some bitcoin conferences where organisers hired some lambos to be parked out front of the conference as a PR campaign

I don't know bro, I don't know where that phrase came from, in my community it's like that too, there's always the chatter "when lambo sir" maybe it happened spontaneously and then it became all jargon and everyone likes it and uses it. just as "hold" becomes "hodl". I think that's what happened. but to be honest, I also occasionally say buy Lambo in my community when the price of Bitcoin goes up, even though in reality Lambo is not my dream car, it seems like that word has become a tradition lol.
All are very expencive and fast cars, where only a rich Bitcoin gain can purchaise such a car.
Why always Lambo and Bitcoin?
It's just a slogan, which to be very honest I never heard before that if you are a rich Bitcoiner then you can purchase such a car, maybe this slogan is famous in your local community or where do you live. I never heard this slogan before. Talking about why people would choose Lambo only, while there are many other cars also gives great competition to Lambo. I will say those who use this slogan only know a few names and Lambo is straightforward and fast to say instead of Ferrari and Maserati or Porche. Why always Lambo and Bitcoin?
Another reason would be, that people saying this slogan only like Lambo instead of other cars. There would be many personal opinions of those saying this slogan. So, I don't think it's a big issue or there is some technicality in this slogan. Don't get too curious unless you have some logic in your mind?

"When Lambo" – it's a famous slogan in support of Bitcoin to reach a new record price. In phases of newly aquired Bitcoin or even doubt in Bitcoin "when Lambo" gets a spectacular outview how rich someone can get by Bitcoin – to buy a Lambo.

Big detection here: It’s always Bitcoin and Lambo.
Not Ferrari
Not Maserati
Not Porsche
All are very expencive and fast cars, where only a rich Bitcoin gain can purchaise such a car.
