Bitcoin Forum

So I have a house on the market... it's in southern Brazil, near Joinville, about 500 Km south of São Paulo. It's a spacious 2 bedroom house (with 3 bathrooms, go figure) and has a detached house to rebuild, a place for the car and bbq and washing machines as an annex, has almost 10000 square meters of land, a lake, etc.

Would you buy a house for Bitcoins? Is it too early in the game? I haven't spoken to the missy's about that, obviously, but if there was real interest (from someone with enough coins) I would certainly be game :)

~500k coins is the direct dollar to bitcoin conversion, but I'd probably want a little extra margin, for the risk (and because I will need to eventually cash in those coins, and fees for these amounts are a pain)

So folks, is there a market this big already?.

EDIT: Proposals using bitcoins, money and other commodities and currencies will be considered, but bitcoins should always be there, if modestly so :)

I don't have 500 kbc, but I'm in for 1,500 bc.  However, you don't seem very serious about selling this house.

Well, for 1.5K no, I'm not serious at all :) It's not an auction because I will not sell for less than what I paid for, which is what I advertised. I am dead serious about selling it, though, as it is on the market already.

I do not know if I will sell it for bitcoins, because right now it is very hard to convert them to cash even for small amounts, and I will need the cash. I could be persuaded to do part bitcoins though, and even all bitcoins if the market trend continues in the upward direction, but you are right, this is just a discussion starter, not (yet) an actual proposal.

Well, in an auction, you can always buy yourself before the end, in case you're really not happy with the highest bid.

These larger transactions make the currency stronger, as any sound currency does. If I went to MtGox and bought up 200,000 coins and drove the price to $1.25 each, would you consider 200,000 coins? (I am not bidding on your house, only example)

In a fiat regime, you just print up what you need, and let everyone else worry about the debasement.

Does satoshi,knightmb or artforz need a house?  :D

You could consider bitcoins as part of the sale price.  In the same way that appliances and window dressings are negotiable, so is the actual trade currency.  Beyond what is required to pay the note, anyway.  On your regular ad, just put a little blurb about "alternative currencies will be considered".  Your more likely to get a mixed offer with Euros, precious metal, or a vehicle than bitcoins; but there is no reason to be picky.

Considering that there are only about 4 million bitcoins in circulation at this time, I doubt that anyone has 500K bitcoins.

such purchase would cause very large fluctuations on the market

Considering how private an individual Satoshi seems to be, I wonder what the odds are that he is another 12 year old hacker genius like DVD Jon; and his father won't let him interact too deeply with the crazy American crypto-geeks without parental oversight.

Of course, by now he would probably be 14.

I can afford the front step of the house. :D

I'll buy a chair near the lake for 100 BTC!

It's great for fishing! You get a seat by the lake with 1Kg fish in it :) But you'll have to discuss that with whoever buys the house.

I don't think I could trust a spike in the price as basis for negotiating. If you would do that and a week passed, bcm and mtgox both had solid volume on that price range, sure.

Also, according to the values you provide you would be paying 2.5x what I requested originally, which obviously gave me a buffer to work with, but I would have to see how the markets reacted for a few days before accepting, I guess.

Hard coded to 21M, we're at 4.43 right now.

I didn't put photos on purpose. They will be provided to real prospective buyers with good reputation ;) Ya know, privacy paranoid. I will try and come up with a few that don't give too much on the exact location though.

Well, I would buy the 200,00th coin at $1.25. Assume my average price paid was 60c for 200,000 coins. Bad example by me, but I think I'm stating my point.

Please do not add markups to my words when you quote them, unless you are willing to note that the emphasis is yours, not mine.  It could change the interpretation of the statement, once edited out of context and the emphasis altered.  You really shouldn't do this for anyone, it's bad form.

Maybe someone has already generated most of the coins they would need. In which case they wouldn't have to buy as many.

What about buying it between a group of some bitcoiners and create the first bitcoin republic? :)

Hehe, it remember me when rumor has that Pirate Bay wanted to buy Sealand =)

A republic in a house ??

In Brazil, student houses are called "republics".

I dont think it would work because you still need to pay rates to some local government. It would be better if bitcoin community bought a barren rock in international waters somewhere.

Wasnt the pirate bay wanting to launch its own satellite to host its website on? Bitcoin could do the same thing eventually and then mine in space...the first currency produced in orbit.

 :)

That would cause quite the media stir.

So this topic was dropped a long time ago, but I still have the house for sale and what were 500k coins are now ~40k. So the question once again applies; would you buy a house for bitcoins?

My bid still stands :P

And it looks more interesting every day!

I'm glad you asked this, because I just got a similar idea the other day and started wondering if it was a crazy idea or not.

I have a condo in Argentina I just recently put up for sale.  The idea also occurred to me to accept Bitcoins.  It seemed like an interesting idea on multiple levels.  I'm pretty bullish about the prospects of Bitcoins for the foreseeable future and this would be quick, liquid, and easy way for me to allocate a meaningful percentage of my net worth to the currency of the future.  It would certainly be faster/easier than buying a few 1000's at a time on Mt.Gox every day.

Given the recent run-up in $/BTC prices, I figured that there must be some ol' skool Bitcoin programmers or miners who are sitting on a digital goldmine right now and may be interested in turning their Bitcoin riches into something more concrete without denting the market.

Of course the other benefit of selling a condo for Bitcoins is that in South America in general, and Argentina in particular, you need to pull all sorts of shenanigans to transfer a condo's worth of cash out of the country, and pay exorbitant fees at every step along the way.  If my buyer paid with Bitcoin we could exchange hundreds of thousands of BTC's across national borders at the touch of a button, just as easily as sending 1 BTC.

I inquired a few days ago in the #bitcoin-otc IRC channel if anybody had heard of a particularly large/valuable concrete object being bought or sold for Bitcoins.  The biggest we came up with was probably a used car.

Anyway, it's a bit of a long shot, especially since Bitcoin hasn't really caught on in Brazil or Argentina in any meaningful way yet, but at the very least I figured it would be some good publicity for Bitcoin and generate some free advertising for my "FOR SALE" listing.

That part of southern Brazil is pretty nice and your house sounds pretty snappy, but if a luxury condo in downtown Buenos Aires is more your style (and you're sitting on a mountain of Bitcoins), inquire within!    ;)

We are the bitcoin realestate pioneers! Though I must tell you, even though we're only two, it seems the demand is still several orders of magnitude lower than the offer.

I just want to add a piece of information to this thread, although not about buy THIS house. Until we get more people to start selling smaller goods like computers, food, furniture and stuff, BTC will only ever be like gold, useless and hard to convert. We need to live in the BTC like we do USD or Euro. This is because even though a large mass of coins are being moved, you need smaller transactions for them to be useful in everyday life for normal people.

Actually no. Gold has utility in large transactions involving land, property and loan backings.

BTC should be good for real estate and may well get a start there. Would be interesting to see the legal contract drawn up for the sale agreement though.

Im not saying that houses should not be bought with BTC, im just saying, its more of a chore to force the use of USD to BTC, until jobs pay in BTC it won't replace USD or other currency, if that's what your going for, and I hope.

In the meanwhile, the market will build up to meet the goals we set.  The fact that everyone here is so interested make the economy that much more competitive.  If all of these motivated parties keep supporting the price, it will reach economies of scale where we can leave our day jobs.  It seems that these two pioneers have found a potential use to for bitcoins.  I wish I had the coin to purchase a house in Brazil.

Hey, don't get down on 14-year-olds.

Its an intresting idea, but it must be clear to anyone that the number of people who have this number of bitcoins in their wallet right now is tiny, and that it would cause major market fluctuations if somebody tried to buy this number of bitcoins even over a 6 month period.

So I do not think this will fly as it is.

But there are other possibilities.

Have you considered a combined purchase lease scheme?

This is what you would do. You agree a time period and a montly rental in bitcoins for the property. You meet the buyer or otherwise satisfy yourselves that you trust each other. Always to some extent useful with these transactions. The "rent" is 2 or 3 times the market rent but it depends on many factors and may be fixed or variable. You sign a deed of sale for a low price dated in the future, it could be for 1/10 the value of the house or for a completely trivial amount. Its a legally binding promise to sell the house in the future provided certain conditions have been met. One of the conditions is that the rent has been paid. There is also a clause where f the rent is withheld, for a significant period of time, the house reverts back to you. If this happens you have rented the house out for a period at 2 or 3 times the going rent, and the deed is invalid.

You get a regular bitcoin income, a proper value (in bitcoins) for your house, and it is attractive bacuse the purchaser does not have to get a mortgage, you are offering them that as part of the service. If they default you should be able to get the hose back since you have documents already signed for that eventuality. There will be little to do in terms of looking after the house while they rent it from you because the people who are buying/renting do know that if they trash the place it is their own investment that they trash, so they will not do that.

I should say that I am not a lawyer, and mileage in your jurisdiction can in any case vary, but this strikes me as a very good way to purchase a house and if set up sensibly can protect both parties, which is vital in a transaction like this.

Lastly I would say that in any contract in most countries there needs to be what is known as a consideration for the contract to be valid. In other words, you cannot just give the house away, or at least if you do the other party can claim that the contract is not valid. Not your intention I know, but if there was a court case, the court might say that a bit coin transaction was not a valid consideration. So always include a bit of cash somewhere along the line I would say. Does not have to be much, but it could offer you some extra protection if it went wrong.

I think this would be an interesting experiment and you should consider widely other models of which there are many. But bear in mind that its never going to be the case that somebody comes and hands you any substantial part of the value of a house, as if they were purchasing a pound of coffee, most people do not even have that money in there pockets!! You want to interest as many people as possible in your purchase, so you will need to consider other models.

You might also consider more complex things. The above was pretty grounded, but now I am letting my imagination run wild, so here goes. Supposing you did this, and then you said well actually what I want is a lump sum, not an income. You sell shares in the whole venture (after the sale) splitting it up into smaller chunks. Like a mining contract, the deal is that Mr X can buy from you say for 500 bitcoins paid now, an income over the next 10 years of whatever your lease-rental scheme brings in proportion.  Mr X takes the risk that the thing may fail in some absurd way, but it shoulnot as you set the thing up quite carefully didnt you? Certainly you cannot take this risk as you could not continue to pay if the purchaser stopped paying although you might promise Mr X some of his money back. Now their are many many people could afford this share, so you could still get your purchase price for the house! I cannot buy a house right now, alas I have already spent all my money on houses in parts of the world where the property market is not too good right now, but I would truly love to be involved in such a scheme, and if you wanted I will help calculate what fair payments should be. You might prefer to have a professional do that for you, but on the other hand this is so very far away from what most of them do that I think they could not help much.

Let us know your thoughts.

Any pics of the house and surroundings?

which of them? I never posted pics of the one in Brazl because I'm a paranoid person, but I can select a few photos to put up *if* there is real interest.

@mintymark

I would certainly be open to any kind of deal, and the "lease to buy" thing seems pretty cool.

I hope some people end up actually selling real estate for bitcoin. Once housing and food are available for bitcoin it can be pretty well entrenched.

You may be in a rude awakening when you have to sell for a price cheaper than you bought it for.  Many boomers in USA bought huge houses and the younger generation doesn't have the money to purchase them at their request prices.  Market forces dictate they have to lower the price if they want to sell their house.  IF your house is sitting on the market for too long it means your price is too high.

I am not sure whether you are out of mind you digging all the threads everyday! I didn't notice what is the opening date of the spread it is around 2010 it is almost from starting a day of Bitcoin to now.
hope you can understand what is the difference from that day to now and how Bitcoin emerged in the society as a payment mode.

Wow this is really good to hear about such nice housing system, one of my friends who is using cyfrpti currency have bounty a house with crypto payment at very nice place, I also want to buy this kind of house because it will be profitable way to get a house, there are so many towns who offers to sell house now a day I also wana plan to buy a house.

Thread digging is good, because we won't get to go through such a way an user has posted to sell a house back in 2010 in exchange for Cryptocurrency. With this I can understand that people have known much about its potential to get served as a currency and now the scenario is different. Lot of housing promoters and properties have begun accepting bitcoin which seems to be the step by step growth from such incidents that serve as the base.

If you have 5 Bitcoins you can buy a flat in my city.I am not sure what is a country's standard of you and how much the fund you are looking to buy a new house for you.
People who ever loves to utilise Bitcoin as a payment mode I am sure definitely they will utilize it.

Did you just necro'd a 8 year old post JUST to say that you are a 20 year old kid wanting to own a house yourself? Dude, before people dismiss you for being a joke, please respect the etiquettes set on this forum. Don'tnecro a super old thread like this.

@OP You should consider locking this thread unless you want signature spam here.

btw kid,

I was once 20 as well. Owning a house was a dream for me. Still is. For now, it'll stay a dream.

so far, I am still trying to collect assets so that I can buy a house. well, I am targeting a house that is not so luxurious. I think that many people have bought homes using crypto, and I aim to be one of them.

If the house was in my country and every document to prove that you're the owner is complete, then I will definitely pay for it, even if what you need is cryptocurrency. But since it's not in my country and I don't even have plans of going to live in Brazil… so I ain't interested in it. You do know that it is not must that you will accept cryptocurrency? Because you can still accept fiat in selling the house and then make use of the fiat you got to buy as much crypto as you want, even if you want to put all of them in crypto. Unless you have something that you're avoiding… but it would be difficult to find anyone that's going to buy that house from this forum.

Yes ,I agree to buy a house for my cryptocurrency online marketing income and salary. It is my hobby and mental satisfied.so I will buy a luxurious car also.

This is such amazing hobby mate, I also wanted to buy a car and wants to have a well furnished house but for this I will have to wait and will have to struggle but it is also reality that if you are having some crypto currency like bitcoin so you can hold and wait with time price will recover and it will give profit so we can easily buy a car and house with our profit from crypto currency.

it's not about dreams bro. The OP offers its home in Brazil.
You do not read this thread in its entirety. You only fulfill your post obligations here. very funny

I would love to see this happen across world where crypto currency can be used to buy/sell your house. But not happening in my country atleast and I am sure that very few countries at this moment where you can use crypto to buy/sell the house. Hope government make it easy and give a go ahead for such transaction.

^ Quite enough if you had held 5 bitcoin as of now then, you can buy a house including a brand new car. I saw a thread in bitcoin discussion section but I forgot where it is, talking about City of Venezuela with the amount of 1 bitcoin is a huge value there. If my country like that may be in just 6 months I can buy my own house with my bitcoin salary because the value of the dollar there is pretty huge. There someone crypto enthusiasts who buy and sell the house via Bitcoin.

Making venezuela as an example then you can surely compare on their monetary value towards dollar rate and we know how this country affected by inflation and also cost of house might vary on each place or the value of each one of them so it would depend into your financial capacity.
Buying a house nor a car using up your crypto is always been a pleasing thing but for now there are still few who do accept such payment.

You are only get someone that’s going to buy that house, that’s if they are also living in your country. No one would leave their country and fly over to Brazil just to buy a house.. Unless someone that is living there and already has citizenship or should I say the right to own a property? That’s the only people that will be ready to buy that house from you. So my advice is this – why not extend your search to the locals? I’m very sure that even if the people you meet are not interested, they can refer to someone through word of mouth and before you will know it, you will come in contact with someone with interest. Or you can even meet the Agencies in your country that specializes in just that, they can do the job easy and get you a buyer.

And you also do not read the post properly as OP has written that post in 2010 when bitcoin was not famous at all.
If OP had offered his home to sell at the present time, he might have get some people interested in his offer but in 2010, no one would ever think to buy a house with bitcoin.

In future this will be very common to see people getting access to buy house with bitcoin. Even now there are few number of people who have bought their houses with bitcoin. One person among the list bought a home as well with the profit out of the same get into the game serving seniors.

"Buying some bitcoin with buying your house" , im so confused with that part  . you mean buy bitcoin after someone buys your house ? if it is then i wont recomend using all the money in bitcoin but invest only what you can afford to loose  .  buying a house with bitcoin is also  a good idea because bitcoin is still cheap these days and that means you can buy the house in a cheaper price  , no regrets afterall  but you can do it after you have succesfully earnt some profit on your bitcoin investment .

500k bitcoin for a house seem way too overprice for me,that can get me a mansion and acres of lands in my country and can you drop link for the house pictures?would be better for those who might be interested

IMO hat he meant is that investing with bitcoin and his holdings is the thing which he will use for buying a new house. I guess he just fail to pick the right word, much better if he used "invest" instead "buy" :D.

Anyway, I also want to buy a house using my btc not only because of the money you can save but also the mere fact that you are now being a part of crypto adoption. It's so fulfilling for sure. By the way, if you are living in the Philippines and want to buy one then better check this (https://coinnewslive.com/3-properties-are-being-sold-for-bitcoin-and-litecoin-in-the-philippines/) out.

As described every user should have similar mindset on making use of bitcoin. Being a part of bitcoin network we used to make use of it directly which will help with the growing adoption of bitcoin. Already there were more properties being sold in exchange of bitcoin, maybe soon we can see users from our forum mentioning that they've bought a house with bitcoin.

Check is there any legit ICO offers property selling for their tokens and bitcoin. If that is legit then you can invest with them and make your in safer side with the property.
So far I don't know any sites providing such service, may be they came up with that idea soon.

Property is also very expensive in my part of the world. However in my country no one will be willing to spend or accept bitcoins to buy a house or a flat.  The main reason for this is that the Bitcoins are not widely used as a payment method in our part of the world and we normally use bitcoin online to buy sell goods.

I bought a 400K house with 40 acres of land, a new tractor and woodstove free and clear using bitcoin turned into cash

with bitcoin you can buy anything you want. but each country has a different policy.
Don't worry about that I don't think it's a big deal to fulfill your wishes with bitcoin.
As long as the exchange is still there, we can have anything with fiat.

Buying and selling is depend on buyer and seller, if the buyer and seller agreed to make bitcoin as the payment system then we don't need government to regulate their agreement which is mean they have no right to ban them. Also, we can hide our transaction to them because they won't know that you send bitcoin on someone to buy house or etc.

For an instance, in my country the buyer system still be using for some people but it does not happen often just occasionally. There is someone who pay a worker using rice or cassava and even if someone has a rice and he has not side dishes they will change each other and appeard the question are some of these things prohibited by the state? Actually not, the system still using by some people. And this case can be applied in bitcoin to change with some assets such as house, land and etc as long as they know risk of bitcoin.

It seems like I haven't heard and know that there is a site service that you said. Although Bitcoin is well known, there are still many obstacles that can be seen with transactions using Bitcoin. all countries have different rules.

This reminds me of some Australian who was the first to sell his house for BTC.

OP your choice of selling it for BTC is good and converting it to cash is still possible if you can find someone for an OTC trade nearby you. You can hodl your coins if you really settle this trade for BTC and sell it later at a good price as speculations are pointing towards a new ATH soon.

I can decide to buy house in that status quo with my Bitcoin depending on the government or environmental policy, if it is favourable.as long as a house is a fixed assets and doesn't always depreciate, considering the fact the it is not every time that I may have the best out of the crypto market, If I purchase a house, I can give it out on lease or rent and still make reasonable profits.

I do not see any difference in buying a house with bitcoins or dollars. Cryptocurrency is the same currency as the rest, even better.

good explanation, very interesting to discuss. The government is the third party that guarantees its citizens to carry out safe transactions. then made a law, then as a good society must obey it.
bitcoin is not permitted as a legal medium of exchange, it applies in some countries. just obey.

What part of the world are you in? I have friends in the Los Angeles and San Francisco area and $1million will barely get you a small run down house.  It is hopeless for the younger generation that has no inheritance ever being able to buy their own house.

SF and LA are extremely expensive, I'm sure you can find better examples.
I know that a couple of years ago half of a house (half-duplex) and some 100 mp courtyard was under 120k EURO in Romania. So there are options where one doesn't have to inherit a fortune for a house.
And of course, one should not compare Romania with US of A, but I am sure you can find less expensive areas there too, where you still can live good.

The price of properties have peaked high, and this means the development across the region keeps growing. As in the above quote buying a property without inheritance is truly a hard thing to achieve in the high profiled cities. Even in the rural area it is hard to buy properties. Now cities were completely occupied by rich people, and I believe bitcoin will give them the ease of purchasing as the properties will be valued in millions.

I would like to hear the story about selling the house. I have some question for you.
Did you sell your house taking the Bitcoin?
If you sold, how long did you hold the bitcoin?
How much did you profit after selling the bitcoin?
Maybe it will be a fantastic story. So you could share your story.

What happened to the house, did you sell it for bitcoins ? When, and for how much ? I just saw this thread, crazy to think that someone was willing to sell his house for btc back in 2010. You must be a really smart guy.

There are stories about people who sold their property for bitcoins and litecoins before 2016. Now this people are millionaires cause they decided to risk. I believe that it`s still a risk to make such decision to sell your house for bitcoins, same like buying a house and spending bitcoins. Both are investments, in crypto or in real estates, and like every investment it has it`s own risks.
Real estate investment is safer, but you can`t count on huge profit like with bitcoin. I would stick with bitcoin, if I have a house to spare I would sell it for bitcoins, but not a chance that I would buy a house now with my bitcoins.

Investing in buying lands was a good choice to begin with since the price goes as higher as the time passes by. Instead of buying it on gadgets or stocks I would prefer buying lots and make them into apartments which is I deemed more profitable and you have the opportunity to sell it if you want to drop it.

Yes this is good plan it’s really good to buy some apartment than buying land as a can let it for rent and make money but saving crypto is also  important dealing for me. There are allot of  people who are doing this as a business they use to buy apartment and hairs them for rent in areas but I am saving my crypto to buy a huge house in future i am sure my dream will come true as day by day crypto is gaining value

When it comes to leverage income then making your land for lease or for rent is already sufficient specially if its being located on a good crowded place where
commercialization do happen.If you do have the budget then building your own apartment or rental buildings will be the best choice.Leverage incomes are the ones
who do make those rich people even more richer but yet as we all know that capital or funding needed on these kind of ventures wont really be that small.
Its better to save up crypto or even on fiat if we do really have the future plans then don't waste up your money into pointless or nonsense wants because this would just block out for it to happen.

Interesting thread. I created a site a couple years ago to sell Real Estate for crypto... cryptocribs.io. Eventually it will be required to bought/sold for on-chain.

This is nice if you have such great idea to make site so people will use it to buy or sell their states they can contact you. I till now did not listen about cryptocribs.io but it must made you earn money and you must be happy with it. Crypto is good way to buy your own property if you get a chance to sell it on right price. Right now i guess people would prefer holding them purchasing house or anything else.

Nope, not at this time. I will buy a house later on. Just waiting for the good return which I already invested in different crypto projects.

That’s right we should wait for right time to use out crypto other wise it’s best time to buy more. House can be bought by us any time but it’s important to find right time for it.  It' need perfect Time for using it and completing our dreams with it. Life is full of opportunities later on we can have all things we want to get including property or a house.

I also planned to buy a house abroad but after I read a lot of the terms and conditions of the rules there, it made me a little back then,
Menurt, you can add to how the conditions there are about buying and selling houses, especially using bitcoin, of course it might need a third person who understands the law, and can strengthen the agreement you do later.

A house purchase is exactly the big item on my wish list if Bitcoin becomes $1 million;)

I am a holder for sure,,, but if BTC becomes that big and I have my goal of even 0.5 BTC in holdings by the end of 2020, then I for sure will sell all and buy for my family a really nice house together with land, and build another house for myself.

Then wait for dip and buy again;)

^ These wishes that we all wanted to have. Even me, how I wish to have my own house together with my two kids and wife. Sometimes I also wishing that there is 1 BTC comes up in my address from unknown or just they get an error and send to my address. Something weird isn't right? 1 BTC for me is enough to build a house and the rest something we need. In the other hands, here in our place, there is someone selling house and lot with 3.5 Bitcoin worth. The seller is also crypto enthusiasts and he wanted to choose crypto because he wants to keep this for a long run.

As a real estate professional, Propy CEO Natalia Karayaneva was frustrated with how time-consuming and rife with fraud online real estate transactions were. With every filing came mountains of paperwork to be filled, clients to be notified and calls to be made to other participants in the deal.
This is why she created a solution that makes it possible to manage all parts of the real estate deal in one tool.

i guess buying a house is the main goal for every individual, so it is not wrong to buy a house because it is also an investment that will be very good for the future. we cannot just focus on one goal because if that goal cannot be achieved then it is a big loss, so with the cryptocurrency for investment it will also be very good to do as long as we are able to make investments simultaneously

Of course I'd buy a house if I can afford one. Unfortunately, I still don't have enough funds even for just the downpayment of a home here in our country. Condominiums here offer zero downpayment but I'd rather have a single detached house and lot than a "space" inside a building. Even bought a lot of BTC recently since it dropped significantly. Hoping for a prosperous Christmas just like last 2017

I just like this discusion between grodilu and nelisky . back in 2010Its easy to buy a house,a car  or an apartment on https://blockchain.com.do ,Launched in 2018 , we are the first bitcoin marketplace in dominican republic and largest bitcoin company in the island ,we dont have any virtual offices, you can come and visit our physical offices where you can buy and sell your bitcoin instantly.We have 3 physical offices and all are equiped with banking systems and you can exchange up $20000 daily. we have alot of properties for sales and we make it easy for foreign custumers to buy properties ,virtual currencies  in dominican republic.

Being able to own a house is not easy because the price of a house is very expensive and investing in bitcoin or cryptocurrency is the best solution for being able to own a house or anything, nothing is impossible with bitcoin and anything will be realized if it is done in earnest.
and I have planned this going forward and made a long-term investment in big capital to make big profits to own a house, and I believe that will come true because that is my intention and if there is a home sale using bitcoin or cryptocurrency in the country where I live, I will buy it using bitcoin and if it's not there I will exchange bitcoin for real money to be able to buy it.

I rather invest it than to buy a house, mostly at time like this where bitcoin is having a trouble to go up as of now, cause of the stability and market status, or should i say the crisis that bitcoin was facing.

As of now im investing it and holding it buying some coins and do trading as much as possible

Unlike an apartment, you need to invest more resources in the house, and not just financial ones. The apartment is more appropriate in terms of a possible sale or rental. It also really depends on the country where you want to buy a house. For me at the moment is very important to be a mobile person with possibility to sell/buy activities fastly as well a bitcoin, so flat is my choice.

A time comes you will realize that building a house is very important, yes investing is important too to have other resources but it doesn't mean you don't need to build a house the reason of you are investing in bitcoin. That now depends on what necessary on you, building a house or preferred to investing in bitcoin. But for me, I need to secure first my family wealth and building a house is my first option than investing which is very risky and we don't know that gives better profit.

I wish to buy 10 apartment to rent, not only a house: entire building!
Only question you have to do is how much is price now, and next years.
Fiat today is easier to read.
Who sold a house for 500k btc could be billionaire today, who purchased could be most sad person in this world, or maybe just happy owner of beautiful beach house.
But if you purchase apartment to rent, you don´t cry for missed btc pump, you are earning rentals.

Pretty good idea indeed. If I have enough amount of BTC I'll definitely purchase not a single house but rather an apartment so that I can have it for a rent. And if there's a remaing balance then I could put it an investmet. If you have an apartment your income for future is now secured.

Lol I have read 500k BTC but not date of post. I was just wondering if the seller crazy since its a huge amount now but when I noticed that post is from 2010 then I calmed down. If he sold his house for that amount then he is a multi billionaire now  :o Bitcoin is a magic...

I think I would put it into a investment first and earn more money because it requires huge amount of money before you got an apartment. I choose to have an apartment rather than a house because I could make a money out of it by rent and get a return for what I have invest for that apartment.

personally, I used bitcoin and crypto holdings to come up with my down payment.  I didnt have enough fiat in the bank at the time.

for people who already have a family the main goal is to own a house, they will prioritize buying a house over btc investments, Cryptocurrency investment may only be the second choice if you have extra money.
besides that property investment is also interesting.

It all depends on the situation or status of the user whether they already have a family or not, and if the status is not married and plans to invest fully in my opinion it is a very good plan and to prepare after having a family to have a house or apartment and the contents are more luxurious.
and if you already have a family and plan to have a house in advance to live, that is also important and you can invest after you have a house or money left over from buying a house and its contents to invest.
