Title: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: biggbox on January 10, 2016, 04:30:53 AM I thought this deserves more attention! Is that a breakthrough for Bitcoins?
A forumer here had successfully traded his bitcoins for a car. In the process, he encountered a couple of scammers but he managed to shoo them away. So now we know it is possible to purchase a car with bitcoins. You can view the discussion here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1290868.msg13468119#msg13468119 What's next? Trade BTC for a house? :) Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next?

What's next? Post by: ObscureBean on January 10, 2016, 05:11:40 AM This is nothing new but it's good you brought it up, a lot of the new people on here might not be aware that these things are possible. There are many car dealerships that have already started accepting Bitcoin and there are quite a few instances of people buying property using Bitcoin :)

Post by: defaultking on January 10, 2016, 05:36:07 AM Don't mean to down play the achievement but was hoping you were talking about a dealership or car company accepting bitcoin. Still one step closer to that actually happening.

Post by: jacee on January 10, 2016, 05:41:37 AM Well so far, I think anythig can be bought by bitcoins just as log the seller would be willing to accept bitcoin as payment so there is really nothing new about the car thing. Even the wierdest stuff can already be bough so basic comodities so as well.

Post by: WENGER on January 10, 2016, 08:51:28 AM Hate it to break it for you but his not the first one to do so, if I'm not wrong earlier this year there was a guy who was selling his mustang for Bitcoin (Not sure if successful though) and also a Chinese guy did manage to sell his tesla car for Bitcoin (although it happened entirely on a Chinese forum) but it got sorted out IIRC. And lastly a long time ago, someone managed to trade a house or buy a house using completely Bitcoin so its not new but its rare.

but there are car dealerships accepting bitcoin http://spendbitcoins.com/places/c/car-dealers/ Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: ShrykeZ on January 10, 2016, 09:44:57 AM I read sometime back a guy remortgaged his house to purchase Bitcoin before the $1k boom and profited heavily from it. Not sure how credible it was though.
So a car is really nothing. :D Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next?

If you could buy a house directly with bitcoin, without a payment processor coming in between, than we are making steps. Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins.

There was a topic here in forum where somebody put his house in sale and accepted many altcoins and bitcoin, bitcoin is going to be more popular and next could be renting house etc.A forumer here had successfully traded his bitcoins for a car.

Post by: Denker on January 10, 2016, 10:45:42 AM I thought I remember hearing a while back that it might be possible to purchase a Tesla directly with Bitcoin, but not sure if that was just a BS story. No no this was real. When you google it you will find several articles about that. But not the company Tesla was/is accepting Bitcoin. It was car dealer in Newport Beach who agreed to get paid in Bitcoin. Tesla accepting Bitcoin would be awesome! money.cnn.com/2013/12/06/autos/tesla-bitcoin/ (http://money.cnn.com/2013/12/06/autos/tesla-bitcoin/) http://mashable.com/2013/12/09/tesla-bitcoin/#lKYMO5u7cmqo (http://mashable.com/2013/12/09/tesla-bitcoin/#lKYMO5u7cmqo) Quote Proving once again that Bitcoin is not just for illicit purchases (you can go to space with it too!), a man bought a Tesla Model S car with bitcoins. The purchase is reportedly the first Tesla, and possibly the first car ever, to be bought with the online currency. Lamborghini Newport Beach in Southern California sold the car, the dealership announced on its blog last Wednesday, but the buyer is currently unknown.

Post by: rickadone on January 10, 2016, 10:46:49 AM No surprises for me, 2 years back some one had offered his house for dogecoin.
Everything is going to be available for bitcoin. Get ready for open bazzar. Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: user64 on January 10, 2016, 10:52:12 AM If true then great, would love to buy some airline tickets with bitcoins
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: bearex on January 10, 2016, 11:10:11 AM This would be great, because buying a house is big money, and this is where the BTC shines, because of its low transaction fee.
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: bob123 on January 10, 2016, 11:17:34 AM Thats the way it has to go.. The more stuff we can buy with BTC the more adopted it will become.

Trade BTC for a house? :) Great news! In my country we are still very fare from it, but hopefully this will change when we will have more bitcoin users. More users creates more demands and merchants are more willing to add bitcoin as another payment option. I hope that soon we will be able to pay everything with bitcoin debit card, as we can now with regular credit cards. Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: Amph on January 10, 2016, 12:26:30 PM next thing already happened, it was an even bigger thing, it was a big house, i remember one was solding his vilal for bitcoin
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: lenoli on January 10, 2016, 12:30:46 PM great news, more people are accepting bitcoins and this is pretty good
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: twister on January 10, 2016, 12:50:32 PM Well I saw people selling houses and properties for it so its not such a big surprise for me but these things are clear indications that though we don't realize it, Bitcoin is getting adopted, even if that may be slow but it is happening.
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: HeroCat on January 10, 2016, 01:08:17 PM Used car prices in USA and Europe can be very low, even around 3 BTC, so this is not a big surprise ;)
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: biggbox on January 11, 2016, 02:53:26 AM So this is where they sell High end goods with Bitcoins.

Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on January 11, 2016, 02:58:16 AM Yes this is totally awesome and yeah I saw someone selling some sort of real estate on this forum a while back. And why not? Bitcoin is money after all, so you should be able to buy anything with it. if Bitcoin goes to 1000, I'm definitely going to buy a car with it.

I'm sick of the noobs coming here to tell us "News" Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: jmintuck02 on January 11, 2016, 05:14:04 AM Now it is a villa or house and a car. I am unsure what the next biggest thing could be. Maybe a threefer of car, house AND a holiday
all done with btc. That could become a newsbit on TV. I would love to see that happen. I wonder if he exchanged btc into fiat when he bought that villa? Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: Mr. Forum on January 11, 2016, 08:27:21 AM In deed we need to have the total attention focused on the post you just placed. It is one of the things i have been praying especially in this new year in relation to the bitcoins. This is just a showcase that in deed the use of the bitcoin is spreading and also having it popular. generally, people have always thought that bitcoin is a scam and therefore not a real currency that you can purchase something with. feel free to share this information with your people especially those against the bitcoins. We are getting there team bitcoin.
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: PakistanHockeyfan on February 07, 2016, 08:40:36 AM It's so interesting. I just put a down payment on a car using Bitcoin a bit of time ago. Not everything is purchasable with Bitcoin though, and that's my only problem right now. The anonymity and pseudo-anonymous traits of Bitcoin make it so simple for criminals to thrive so yes, I know that's why I can't buy everything I want with it. It's just aggravating still to know I can't buy simple necessities like food.
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: Funny on February 07, 2016, 08:44:14 AM Well this is great for BTC! Although it's not really a necessity but still, great for publicity! ;D
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: Cuidler on February 07, 2016, 10:35:48 AM This would be great, because buying a house is big money, and this is where the BTC shines, because of its low transaction fee. Buying a house with Bitcoins could become interesting with some smart contract features where you could skip intermediates like lawyers. The only disadvantage is not many people have enought Bitcoins to buy a house. Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: zergenyt09 on February 07, 2016, 11:07:11 AM Probably a great move for BTC! even though this is still not the regular but a story worth writing in a newspaper about...

Post by: bearexin on February 07, 2016, 11:26:17 AM I think making it a regular easy to do process like how to buy a car with USD would be the next step, it's always like an exception now when something buy something with BTC but if it becomes a regular occurrence like when someone buy an item with USD then BTC would already obtain the market, it will also be great if you could buy groceries/food/day-day items with BTC.
Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: jethrorn99 on February 07, 2016, 11:32:17 AM Well, there's a website that allows you to buy an island with bitcoins.
You can almost buy everything with bitcoin now. ;D Title: Re: Did you know: You could buy a car fully paid by Bitcoins. What's next? Post by: babs1975 on February 07, 2016, 11:34:40 AM If more merchants accept and embrace the bitcoins in their transactions, I am very sure that Bitcoin will be accepted globally and it will be very easy to buy anything in exchange for bitcoins.
