Title: What's the largest BTC purchase to date? Post by: coinrunner on January 06, 2014, 10:51:05 PM Doing a bit of research here...
Whats the largest BTC purchase to date? BTC for a physical product. There was the 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo purchase in Long Beach for 216.8433 bitcoins or ~$209,995. Anything larger than that? I'm interested in Fiat value of item at time of purchase. So Pizza's for $2M don't qualify. :) Title: Re: What's the largest BTC purchase to date?

Never heard of it, why would someone buy that in Bitcoins? Was it DPR who bought it? lol Title: Re: What's the largest BTC purchase to date?

Was it DPR who bought it? lol I think it was a member here by the name of "Goat" though I think he recently changed his name? There are a few threads about it around here, and if I recall correctly Goat first heard of someone buying a Tesla S from the same dealership in bitcoins before contacting them himself.

The buyer was "ChaangNoy (Goat)", a Thai living in the US Title: Re: What's the largest BTC purchase to date?

And most people know. And no one cares, he has bought his Lamborghini with his questionably earned money and that's it. Very very unlikely that he bought all this Bitcoins. I dunno, it's just kinda bizarre to me. Title: Re: What's the largest BTC purchase to date?

"Pretty much clear such large amounts of BTC are very likely to have been obtained through not legal methods". What total unfounded nonsense. Show us some proof of his wrongdoing or shut up.

I dunno, it's just kinda bizarre to me. He's an old timer. The very fact that he was willing to publicly use such a large sum strongly indicates that they were legally acquired, either by mining when it was easy, or buying when they were cheap. Even in early 2012, 200 BTC was only $1000. Title: Re: What's the largest BTC purchase to date? Post by: Raghnar on January 07, 2014, 09:44:07 PM How the heck can you infer that?
