Bitcoin Indonesia has developed into a dynamic community with approximately 55,000 members and 40 monthly gatherings across 40 cities. According to NS3.AI, the community promotes Bitcoin adoption through education and a distinctive legal workaround. Despite a government prohibition on cryptocurrencies as payment since 2018, local Bitcoin enthusiasts revitalized the movement after the COVID-19 pandemic by implementing a 'closed loop' redemption system that complies with regulations. The community's success is attributed to free, accessible education that emphasizes Bitcoin as a tool for financial empowerment, supported by local infrastructure and international collaborations.

According to Ming Pao, these vehicles can benefit from policy incentives in certain regions, enhancing their appeal as a sustainable option. However, a comprehensive study conducted by Germany's Fraunhofer Institute has raised concerns about the actual environmental benefits of PHEVs. The research indicates that the real-world fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is significantly higher than the figures provided by manufacturers, casting doubt on the vehicles' effectiveness in reducing emissions.
