Title: What's the largest Bitcoin purchase so far? Post by: chmod755 on May 02, 2015, 06:15:43 PM I just realized that I have no idea what the largest Bitcoin purchase (in terms of fiat money) is.
I found this article (http://www.coindesk.com/500000-bali-villa-sold-biggest-bitcoin-purchase/) here, but 500k USD is not really much - is that really the biggest Bitcoin purchase?

That was buying some bitcoin, not buying with it, and it was paid for with gold and USD. It would be interesting to see if someone like Bitpay has an upper limit on purchases you can make. There must be a point where they can't guarantee that they'll be able to put it through without losing out. Ideally it wouldn't be converted back. That being a common occurrence will hopefully happen reasonably soon. Title: Re: What's the largest Bitcoin purchase so far?

That might actually be the biggest purchase made with bitcoin, one has to discard all IPOs and ICOs or whatever, that didn't actually purchase anything real.
