Singapore bar offers luxury New Year party package for one bitcoin (that’s about US$13,000 in real money)
Skyline, on the 45th floor of a skyscraper overlooking Singapore’s glittering waterfront, is promising party-goers a luxury-filled night out, with champagne and oysters and caviar
A Singapore bar that bills itself as the world’s highest cryptocurrency club is offering a New Year’s Eve package that includes a limousine pickup and butler service – but it’ll cost you a whole bitcoin.
Skyline, on the 45th floor of a skyscraper overlooking the city state’s glittering waterfront, is promising party-goers a luxury-filled night out, with champagne and oysters and caviar.
But it won’t come cheap, with the price of bitcoin – which has surged dramatically in recent months – hovering around US$13,000 on Sunday.
The party at Skyline is called “Bianco”, with revellers dressed in white enjoying a night of drinking and dancing before watching the New Year’s fireworks display over the waterfront.
While the club has run the night before, it is the first time they are offering a bitcoin deal, and customers can also pay in regular cash.
Manager Subaish Rajamanickam said they had received a lot of inquiries about the package – but no one had yet signed up for it.
The New Year idea came after the bar ran other successful virtual currency-themed nights for people in the financial technology sector, which is booming in the city state.
