A Court in Vigo (Spain) has issued an important ruling ordering the repayment of a loan in bitcoin instead of euros.
It states that a debtor must return 0.58 bitcoin to his lender.
It all starts in 2020, when two citizens agreed on a loan via WhatsApp. One would lend the other 1.2 bitcoin, which he had to pay back with an interest rate of 0.1 bitcoin.
However, a few months later, the lender proposed to the defendant that this interest should be paid in euros and the debtor refused.
A year later, the debtor sent 0.7 bitcoins to the lender. But the lender replied with a Whatsapp: "0.48 bitcoins, that's what you owe me now". Apparently, the debtor intended to pay in euros, when he had previously indicated that he did not agree. At the end of 2021, the lender reported him.
