Title: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: CrazyGuy on April 03, 2013, 04:48:38 AM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=143722.0
My Porsche sold today for ~300 Bitcoins! If this isn't proof that Bitcoin is a legitimate currency, then I don't know what is. The buyer purchased his initial Bitcoin investment at around $4 a piece so they got an amazing deal. I'm not sure if this is the single largest item sold for BTC, but I can guarantee it's the first $40,000 vehicle sold for ~300 BTC. The buyer wishes to remain anonymous, but I've asked a bitpay representative to come and post in the original thread to confirm the transaction occurred. Help me spread the word, upvote the story on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/tb/1bkhjp Submit to as many news agencies as you please, Bitcoin is here to stay!

Someone sold his Porsche for BTC instead of USD simply because some (early adaptor) had BTC he wanted to launder This is no different than the Porsche owner selling it for USD and then converting that to BTC on MtGox, except that now there's money laundering involved Thats why the buyer wants to remain anonymous Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: CrazyGuy on April 03, 2013, 05:11:09 AM WopWop, the big deal is that a large, legitimate transaction was complete over the bitcoin network.
Fixed the reddit link(UpVote!) http://www.reddit.com/tb/1bkhjp Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: benjamindees on April 03, 2013, 05:11:48 AM Great. Now we get to deal with gov't shills who loudly declare every Bitcoin purchase to be "money laundering".
HAY GUYS LETS PETITION THE GOVERNMENT TO REGULATE BITCOIN IT'LL BE GRAET. Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!!

Money laundering no less? You forgot to mention all that child pornography in the trunk as well as the Mexican heads as proof of delivery... Congrats to the OP! We get it! Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: CrazyGuy on April 03, 2013, 05:13:19 AM They will be paying taxes on the estimated value of the car when they register it, so it's not completely void of fiat. No money laundering involved.
Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: wopwop on April 03, 2013, 05:15:41 AM All I'm saying is the buyer wants to remain anonymous for an obvious reason
They will be paying taxes on the estimated value of the car when they register it, so it's not completely void of fiat. No money laundering involved. Lol nice save, kind of odd since you don't have to pay taxes at all on a car ownership transfer. But yes nice save nonetheless Title: Re: !!!

You cant say his intention is bad. Maybe he doesnt want people bothering him or selling his info. He obviously does well enough to constitute being bothered by salesmen, so maybe he is trying to avoid that. Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: drrussellshane on April 03, 2013, 05:18:51 AM This is awesome.
Only 300 BTC for a Porsche. Three years ago 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. hahahaha crazy world Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: wopwop on April 03, 2013, 05:19:38 AM Lol all I'm saying is the buyer wants to remain anonymous for an obvious reason Because he likes privacy? He isn't anonymous to everyone, the title must be transferred. He just doesn't want freaks on the internet knowing his business. I fully understand that position. That's as much as a 'conspiracy' theory as me saying there is money laundering involved We both can't proof it, we only can choose which one is the most likely Title: Re: !!!

What are you talking about? ??? Don't worry, government loyalist at work ;) They'll come up with anything to bash Bitcoin with. Title: Re: !!!

Lol I'm not saying he needs to reveal his complete identity to not be labeled anonymous, a forum username would suffice enough as not being 'anonymous' Anyway I know it's not going to happen because of money laundering and I don't care, I'm just mentioning it because of its high probability Title: Re: !!!

I reckon it will actually turn out to be a good deal on both sides in the short/medium/long term.
Next up, a house sold for bitcoins... Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: Kazimir on April 03, 2013, 05:41:32 AM No clue what those folks above are complaining about.
Dude, that's great news, both for you and Bitcoin! (and for the new car owner as well) Awesome! Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: ShaTwo on April 03, 2013, 05:48:20 AM Amazing! Congratulation... Porche Index?
Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: CrazyGuy on April 03, 2013, 07:20:31 AM In other news, the sale of a $40,000 sports car for bitcoin is considered off-topic. I suppose if bitcointalk.org newcomers want to know about the latest bitcoin related news, they are going to have to go to the goods section or have a browse through Off-Topic. Shame...
Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: hiima on April 04, 2013, 12:40:34 AM I wish I had kept my BTC, then I would've been able to buy a car.

This:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0 Edit: And while the sale of the car may be apropos to wherever this came from, discussion about the sale is definitely a good fit for O/T. But, yeah, grats on selling your car for BTC. Pretty awesome. Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: IIOII on April 04, 2013, 09:53:47 AM I've read in the original selling thread and doubted that the sale would be accomplished in BTC...
Congratulations! Another proof that Bitcoins deflationary model does not impede economic activity. Title: Re: !!! Porsche Cayman S Sells for ~300 BTC on Bitcointalk.org !!! Post by: veteranBtc on April 04, 2013, 10:26:19 AM Buying a Porsche with bitcoins, that's nice!
