Official Lamborghini for bitcoin thread!

Well people can stop saying "What can you buy with BTC?" and Greenspan I hope can start to realize there might be some "intrinsic value" in BTC.

Car was bought here www.lambonb.com using Bitpay. Thank you both for making this happen. Also tip of the hat to Satoshi.

I know there is some media interested in this story. You can contact me at lambo4btc@gmail.com

Here are some pics.

AWESOME. Thats what you did with your PPC huh? :-)

That is very beautiful!

Awesome! That's a dream come true, congratulations.

how long does it take them  to send it to thailand ? :)

Don't you mean gmail? 

And it didn't even cost as much as a pizza.  Nice!

I envy you my man, one day perhaps, a man can dream  :)

Congrats Goat, but be careful, think Paul Walker@40... when you're driving that monster !

NFS <> IRL

Awesome. Keep up the great work promoting Bitcoin.

Lambos are the top supercars when it comes to amount of horror stories about them posted online.

Just saying.

Drive safely.

in the UK my  mechanic  used to say Lotus is an acronym for (Lots Of Trouble ,Usually Serious ) :D
i havent heard of too many issues with lamborghinis but same with ferraris
apart from wreckages caused by drunk celebrities :D

They are made by Volkswagen - how bad can they be?

Amazing. Congratulations !

Can't wait for a HIGH SPEED video....

Good job.
I'm saving to buy an island. :-)

Drive steady !!  ;D

Congratulations.  I'm so jealous.  Beautiful car.

I'll have one of these threads one day.  Just wait :)

Grats and bought at the top of market exchange rate too.

wow, much fast, very broom.... woof!

congratulations

Nice! Congratulations!

That's the spirit!

Official congratulations. I think this is so far the most impressive item bought with bitcoins.

I raise you a 10,000BTC pizza that says otherwise....... we may not be here today without that tale

Congratulations.

The BTC community needs footage of you throwing Bitcoins out the window driving that car.

A year from now we need an official Bitcoin Lamborghini meetup.   ;D

I read a story about some trucker who won one of these things in a raffle.  He made it about a mile on it's maiden voyage before totaling it.  Of course he had not gotten around to obtaining insurance by that time.  The worst of it was that he owed a shit-load of taxes on the value of his winnings.  So, at (litterally) the end of the day he had a tens of thousands of dollar debt and nothing on the positive side of the ledger.

There are several related morals to the story I suppose.  Be careful what you wish for, and there are many ways to snatch defeat from jaws of victory which can be, in hindsight, fairly obvious.

Relatedly, I had a mid engine car for a time (and old MR2 with a nice suspension) and due to the low polar moment of inertia it was amazing how fast one could end up looking in the rear view mirror to see what one is going to hit.  I'd suggest finding a road course to experiment around on if you are into that sort of thing.

Very nice!

How much will it cost if you want to take it over to Thailand though? Isn't it something ridiculous like 300% tax on cars?

Remember that guy who did the interview on BBC with Max Keiser? Saw him in another interview recently bringing this up. He was saying that the car dealership would now be sitting on a 50% loss. Erm, no, they changed it up into USD via bitpay dumbass, lol.

We all know Bitcoin is still volatile, and for now we have to hedge in USD because it's stable. Hopefully in another five years, Bitcoin will be stable enough that it will be unnecessary to convert straight to fiat. And hopefully by then I'll be able to buy one of these!

That is a very nice car. If you are ever in the UK I'll drive you around in it if you want ;)

That's a vulgar display of wealth. I hope the Bitcoin haters are looking at this thread. You fools could have one too but you all hate Bitcoin. lol  

sick car, congrats!

should sticky this thread and plaster it all over the internet for the haters to see

read on google recently a  real estate agent is selling a mansion $7.5 mill and he also
is accepting btc

will be cool when one of the btc community  buys the first luxury mansion with btc too

This is AWESOME! I wish you once be able to own your own island (and invite all us creeps there). I will vote for you!  ;D

A mighty fine bitcoin-powered carriage you got there son. Congrats!

Nice, Goat!

Be careful with that beast.

Congrats on your purchase, a wonderful looking car indeed.

You have been smart with your Bitcoin investments ;-)

and ur buying my watch at 10k right? lol

congrats goat!

Big congrats! I guess it pays to be an early adopter, huh?

Funny enough, one of my co-workers had sent me an article related to this by Skype. I had to laugh!

Have fun with it... :)

such horsepower

very boost

wow

Did you drive it yet?   That looks like a scary ride!

Nice you!
Guys, before envy takes you think about the risk Goat took when buying the coins back in the days - well deserved.


Goat, drive carefully!

Congratulations Goat!

i will never make fun of you again.  except when it comes to your next silver buy.  ;)

seriously, this is a major positive event in Bitcoin World (history) and you are solely responsible for it.

thanks for The Vision.

I'd consider this one sometime in the future...

http://www.designboom.com/technology/e-volo-electric-18-rotor-helicopter-makes-first-maiden-flight-11-26-2013/ ;D

Nice one... congrats!

Congrats :)

It's electric right?

ummmm, no

you are thinking of the Tesla S that someone bought from the same dealership

nice car dude!

"electic lambo" - funny  ;D

I love it ...props on your investing skill and enjoy that sweet ride.  :)

Got a great exchange rate (for now) too!

2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Coupe MSRP: USD 191,000 (http://vehicles.automobilemag.com/am/99/2014/lamborghini/gallardo/lp_550_2_coupe/6609/prices.html)
Paid: BTC216.8 (http://lamborghininewportbeach.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-bitcoin-saga-continues.html)
Effective exchange rate ~$881/BTC.

Congrats! I wouldn't imagine there are many Lambos cruising around Thailand.

in bangkok actually there are plenty ,same with ferraris  ,porsches ,bentlys  and other extravagant motors from europe
for a third world country its amazing   how much money  the rich  have   :o

Thailand has it's own aircraft carrier.  You sure they are third world?

Exactly. There's a luxury car dealership inside of a mall called Siam Paragon.

Or at least, there was one when I was there a couple of years ago!

Congrats on the sick piece of machinery, and have fun burning up those massive rear tires. Just thinking out loud here... and I don't want to be the party pooper but you do realize goat that next year this time that car will have cost you over 2 million smackeroos!

Just saying...

DRIVE SAFE!

The speed is not the only thing you have to worry about. It's the other drivers. You see, people only look back and to the side so far thinking that if they don't see a vehicle it's safe to change lanes. If Goat is moving faster than where they look he may have a car pull in front of him and it will be too late.

just watch it man, those things are notoriously unforgiving to newbs

bullish

wow  8) congratulation! 

That is awesome but too expensive for me.... I'd like a tesla instead. It's better for the environment too.

Of course when going fast is concerned this is a clear winner.

What do you have for 1 BTC?

Where can you buy an aircraft carrier for btc...

You should go to Germany with this car! No speed limits on highways! If this is not an argument...

Not bad - I'd personally have gone for a Bugatti Veyron but I suppose that's the next best thing  ;D

Joking aside congrats, just don't crash it!

not so surprising really. in developing countries, the gap between poor and wealthy is typically far larger than in industrialized nations.

Congrats to your new ride Goat!

congratulations! this is a great news for bitcoin community! Drive safe, have fun! Btw, did you ship it from USA To BKK? Shipping cost included by the dealer?

I'd love to see more pics of you taking it out for a spin in BKK!

Very cool thanks for sharing!

Big NO NO.

There would be no more Goat For President and a very bearish news for journalists.

You must set up some kind of dead man’s switch before hopping on that beast !

GOAT FOR PRESIDENT!!
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

lol at that lambo pic ^^^^^

Congrats to you Goat, you've made epic amounts of money, so fair play to you.

You need to get together with Loaded and he can drive his Veyron and you your Lambo
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155235.0

big laughs at all the btc haters.

Dream come true, enjoy. And it's not by chance peeps are telling you to stay safe, those things are wild if you loose focus and let your ego take over...play safe bro!

Wait a minute, is this the one that was shipped to Missouri? If so, are you going to have it shipped to Thailand when you go back there?

LOL, only on the Autobahn (only after you see the black-slash sign of course). And it's "reasonable and prudent": anything over 130 kph is considered "unreasonable" if you crash (and don't die).

But yes. :)

yes, you can go 300 km/h on a german autobahn. but most fun you will get from such a fine car not on the autobahn. instead one should go into the hills somewhere or a racetrack. thats where those cars really start to make sense.

going 270+ is nice but its not even close to what everybody thinks how much fun it is.

Wh... wuhhhhhh? So you bought a Lambo and won't be driving it? Was it a gift?

good gawd you must have a lot of BTC if this was just for the sake of publicity. good on ya.

Nice job  man!!  If you can buy me a house or a nice car, I'd be very happy as well.

Very Respectfully,

GreaterNinja

Nice! And about 100 BTC cheaper than the Porsche I sold in April. Good job!

Haha, hindsight says good decision! Going from $20 to $134 in about a month I didn't think we'd go much higher for a year or so. Wrong!

there are many many.... I used to live on sutthisan back in 2009, now even there is an import dealership.

your wife is pretty expensive to keep. is she from tha ricefields of isan?

wow I've seen some pathetic posts on forums in my time but you are beneath contempt.

I thought you wanted it in any color but orange?

Yeah, it's yellow.

Wow, what a dick!

GREAT car!!

Congrats and thanks for the photos!  ;D

Congratulations, I'm jealous! drive safely  ;)

thanks for the admission.

Watch him getting mad when he finds out it wasn't even a girl  ;D

Chaang,

Congrats dude.  Love the Color and the neon sign.

So exciting!  Thanks for all the great press you are bringing to Bitcoin with this purchase.  Nothing like a beautiful yellow Lamborghini to get some people to think about what Bitcoin is. :)  I think all of us holders owe you a huge thanks!!!

Maybe in a year or two I can let BitChicksHusband go to Newport Beach and pick one up too.  He did just buy a new Mercedes though so maybe he won't need it. ;) 

it was not a whore alright

So maybe he is just telling his own story: typical ferang got hooked and scammed by a super dark skinned Isaan lady. Probably he got a nasty illness too.

Ignore the haters, Goat!

Go Chaang!

Respect to you. Very much deserved.

The car is not so much my taste (I prefer old-timer cars that break down on you while driving),
but it's awesome what you've done.

Now buy that house that's up for sale in BTC, buy some BTC plane tickets to travel accross your
empire and you'll be the greatest walking BTC-promotional machine ever ;)

BTW: Goat, have you gotten many inquiries on your promo-gmail-addy?
I would be curious to see how the media covers this. And what you'll
tell 'em... Any links to press-coverage?

Good job mate, drive it with a big, satisfying smile on your face ;)

why fly around earth when you can fly around space with btc ? :)

http://www.coindesk.com/virgin-galactic-will-accept-bitcoin-space-travel-says-billionaire-entrepreneur-sir-richard-branson/

The final frontier :)

Is it a replica and how much BTC is the minimum reserve price?!

great looking vehicle!

Goodluck an thank you for your time!

a replica lamborghini lol
what wouold real lamborghini have to say if someone opened a dealership selling chinese replicas ? :)

I'm quite jelly but otherwise...GJ!

Sweet!!

Hopefully other Bitcoiners (me included :P) can also reap from the profits of this wonderful currency.

Thank you for sharing!

wow amazing car wish i had enough to buy one !!

Congrats Chaang.

This promotes the BTC a great deal. Thanks for this major contribution to the community.  :)
Even better times for the coin are coming in next few years for sure.

~Waiting for this to go viral like BTC tesla~

Pretty much anything is for sale at the right price ;)

If you pay the taxes to have it plated and  registered legally  in thailand  we might  have a deal ;)

while it is really cool  if you make a huge profit of the volatility ,it is one of the reasons holding btc back from wider acceptance  and making merchants scared to go near it (b4 someone says it ,i already  know theres bitpay and other ways to protect against but not every merchant has a clue that youo can cash em on the spot for the fiat of your choice  leaving you with no risk of volatility)

I agree, but those things heal with time and while we have to live with it anyway, might as well make use of it.

i know lol
your talking to someone who bought in single digits  ;)

It isn't just the price but the amount bought at that price ;)

thats very true ,but i stopped buying when they were close to hitting 9-10 usd
i saw the technology  and i just knew this is going to change the world unless it gets banned etc
(thats why i didnt put in every penny i had )
i have 100%  faith this technology is here to stay and i know im probably going to get a backlash
of FUD from everyone for it but BTC aint going nowehere and  wont be bending over for nobody ;)

Located in MO? I hope to drive past you! Makes my audi look like crap :P

Well buying back then was hard. The banks would actually refuse to send my money to exchanges. I managed to buy some at these low prices using a work around, but this only worked for a limited amount.

I guess I should have fought harder with my bank :P

i bought most of mine from intersango
i think the uk price was 6 pounds or roughly  9 usd
this was before they had banking problems and were forced to change banks a few times

since then i havent sold a coin  and they are worth about 100 x times what i paid for them at this time

intersango on the other hand still owe me about 200usd i had waiting to buy usd btc and they refuse to refund it

You messed up my quote :P (I fixed it here)

Anyway, my first purchase was lower than yours but I guess you bought a lot more if you're offering to pay 350 BTC for a Lambo ;)

the 9-10usd dollar btc were my last purchase of btc  ,not my first,most of my coins cost me  maybe half  that  ;)
and there is a ridiculous tax of 200 or 300% tax  on so called luxury imported  goods like vehicles  (in thailand )

goats lambo registered here would be worth a multiple of what its worth  in europe or usa so  i  think i would not only break even but maybe even profit on  resale if the costs of bringing it in and geting it registered were included in the deal

the roads  in bangkok (small streeets etc ) do not suit a lambo though ,there is too many ramps on every small sttreet  to slow down speeding motorcycles that a lambo would not have enough ground clearnace for so it would end up losing the front bumper if i tried to drive it to my house


even on my bike the exhaust scrapes the ground if i dont slow down enough and my bike has more ground clearance than a lambo and less weight as well

@OP One day imma have the same than you ;D maybe different auto paint anyways BTC makes dreams come true !

time for a Soleil!

Lambos on ice!

http://holidayonice.nl/images/HOI_043_TROP_KV_liggend.JPG

if it had german style snow tyres it would probably stick to the ice like glue
but there aint no ice in thailand anyway if you decide to bring it over

just the import taxes are a crucifix on foreign vehicles

i bought a suzuki gsx1000rr  imported from japan and it was a serious pain in the balls
to get  a greenbook and number plated in thailand involving many obstables/bribes  along the way

it was still cheaper than buying it fom suzuki thailand in the end but the hassle was so much
i wouldnt bother doin it again

Are there no winter/snow tires for Lambos?

Congratulations on your car, but threads like this insinuate the pyramid scheme reputation that bitcoin has :(
"Look, I have a Lambo! Buy in and you can also someday own a Lambo!". Most of the pyramid scheme resembling businesses operate like this, with early adopters talking about their cars and villas during presentations. So, enjoying your bitcoin wealth with a little subtlety wouldn't hurt :)

you didnt screw it, did you?

yes, of course so many hp on ice is a little to much, but at least it has fwd and that should help a bit. imagine it would be 2wd on ice...

Except in Goat's case we all know that he made his money with investments. BTW: He was one of the few passthroughs of the thief Pirate that actually made it right with the community. I think the point is that if you use your brain, a little skill, and some luck you can also buy in to Bitcoin and make a fortune with it. You must be willing to apply yourself (start a business, invest, etc.).

Pyramid schemes tactics work with simple-minded people and they scare away smart people who have any ethics at all. I personally don't want to be involved in anything that uses pyramid scheme tactics in marketing. Do you?

I'm not attacking Goat's persona nor his past actions regarding bitcoin. So no need to defend him against that. I was just pointing out that maybe more subtlety should be considered if one doesn't like the pyramid scheme reputation that bitcoin has.

You don't get it. Ostentatious displays of wealth are common marketing techniques. That has nothing to do with the design of the business. So is Chanel a pyramid?

Technically everything in society is a pyramid. It's not really a problem if you're relatively close to the top though :)

You know what he's talking about. A pyramid scheme.

Ok, I see that I opened a really nasty can of worms with my observation. I wish you merry christmas and hope that you will also see the point that I tried to make.



I actually haven't seen any Chanel stockholders showing their cars to attract new stockholders. And also it is a little hard to understand how can you put a cryptocurrency in the comparable group with a fashion company :/
But please, let's end it here. I didn't know what I was getting myself into with making this observation. Carry on with all your fun talks about luxury machinery :)

WOW amazing. When your done, feel free to send me the car. I know I am a new user but I promise I wont let it go to waste. Congrats. ;)

I hope I can buy mine in less than 3 years, then we will race in a safe race track (maybe in İstanbul Park) Goat. :)

Not to be harsh, because I am really happy for you if this is what makes you happy, but this post shouldn't be in this section, it belongs to off topic imho
Bitcoin is not about buy a nice car

Goats lambo: brought to you thanks to PPT victims across the globe!

Bull shit. Then it would have been Hashking's Lambo (or one of the other thieves).

I'm sorry that I came back, but I was just too tempted to point out that buying a car doesn't prove BTC intrinsic value.  The working time spent on creating the BTC core software, creating the mining hardware, creating the support services, electricity used, demand of product etc. prove that BTC  has calculable intrinsic value. Buying a car only shows that BTC has value, without pointing out if the value is intrinsic or speculative. And that was already proven when first bitcoins were sold with couple of cents per coin. And it is still proven by exchanges that trade bitcoins for a certain price.
My problem was not with your car and I also like exotic pieces of machinery. I was just pointing out that maybe it isn't useful to create certain type of first-impressions. When the bitcoin market will be flooded with people who are vulnerable to these types of marketing techniques, then the outcome isn't pretty. These people are unstable and vulnerable to all kinds of simple types manipulations and bitcoin is not ready for that. Bitcoin needs more serious people who are able to be supportive to the entire evolutionary process. And these types of marketing techniques will make BTC unattractive to serious and ethical people without who BTC will not survive.
I see bitcoin as a step in monetary evolution, so it hurts me to see it treated like a standard pyramid scheme.

I'll try not to respond again, because I see that my observation aggravates people here. But I hope that you'll think about my line of thought.

Take care and drive safe :)

For the record, I don't think your responses have aggravated anyone. While I don't necessarily agree with what your say, what you say is articulate and worded nicely. Earlier you made a remark towards me indicating you thought I was mad. I am not and was not. If I have given that impression I apologize :)

Wow, such beautiful cars, so expensive though!

Valid line of thought.

I would like to add that instead of worrying about certain kind of people attracted to certain kind of...
Let's focus on the people we want to focus on in a positive way.

Haha, Goat, this is awesome! Thanks for the props and congrats on the awesome car! :)

You helped make it happen buddy!

Chaang Noi (Goat) today people are not realizing what they can buy with bitcoins but tomorrow when they would realize then it will cost them a lot to exchange highly valuable bitcoins for their local currencies. I wish I might have realized the future of bitcoins few years back and today I might have also brought the Lamborghini 

correct :)

average people have no idea yet how much  possibilities  the bitcoin network  has in store
stefan molyneux  is one of the people who "gets it"
new users would do well to watch some of his youtube videos,he is one of few who  truely  understands btc and its potential  :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs6F91dFYCs

wow nice Goat

You should modify it for the snow - just for kicks. Anyway, i bet the heater is good in that thing  8)

congrats dude !

http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/amXoMno_460sa.gif

No gifs :(
http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/amXoMno_460sa.gif (http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/amXoMno_460sa.gif)

Next year.  ;)

say a lambo cost USD300,000

so we need around 400 bitcoin to buy one


say if bitcoin increase 10x every year, so we need

2013 - 400 btc
2014 - 40 btc
2015 - 4 btc
2016 - 0.4 btc


better save up my BTC for your nice lambo , see you in 2016

Nice car, must say you catch it too earlier & invested in right time. :)

Drive well, stay safe.

bitcoin price increases because the demand for it goes up

if you'd be selling lambos and you'd see the demand going up, wouldn't you be tempted to raise the price as well?

สุดยอดจริงๆ

You've ensured your place in bitcoin folklore  :)

Congrats!!

I'm kicking back in Thailand for a while... Fancy taking me for a spin Goat???  ;)

first prize for ghetto lambo delivery

    Youll be fine too much traffic to play up too much...
    If I see a yellow lambo I will ask if its you just curious did you put a bitcoin logo on it you should really ! Also how much tax did they kill you for and I bet they didn't accept BTC wanted to send a cayenne a few years ago to take down to Samui but I didn't due to the 200% they wanted for tax ended up with a vigo not a patch  your lambo..
    I love these BTC success storys hopefully more to come this year i,ve ordered a cayenne diesel in the UK but they didn't take BTC but I have cashed out a few to pay.     :D

Damn, is it staying there or are you shipping it over? The thought of waiting for that car to arrive....  8)

This will only happen on my  dream

Maybe the seller should buy a luxury yacht for the btc down the road when btc rises further ;)

Buyer?

But yeah, cruise back to Thailand from USA ... sweet

I remember you had been posting about wanting to buy one for a long time on here, glad to see you finally got it  :)

I can only dream of having a lambo one day. I can barely pay my bills in my struggle to build my own little empire.

Buy a lambo first, the empire will build itself naturally afterwards

something something pirate passthrough something something

i like threads like these because it shows you really can get anything with bitcoin and bitcoin holds value and is worth something. you could buy anything from drugs on silkroad to a lambo . life is good

I just got my Lamborghini!!!

Ok, ok....I sort of fudged a little bit  ;)

wtf is this

What was that good for then?

damn that lamb is hot..
congrats

In 5 years, this is going to look like an incredibly poor expenditure of billions of wealth in BTC.

Probably as bad as the 10,000 BTC pizza looks now.

Wow goat I can honestly say I'm jealous ^_^ also nice car buddy if I ever somehow locate you would totally want to ride it (I'll bring some cute girls as well ha-ha on the condition I get a ride  ;))

In the next bitcoin price rise early adopters will start buying helicopters and private jets  ;D

https://i.imgur.com/qHdJpMe.jpg
"At least we weren't the only ones that didn't realize it was just a goat driving the Lamb-o."

Sweet ride man.

We all love your Lambo. Any news about Bugatti for Litecoin Goat?

What did you pay?

What did you initially invest ($1000 in 2010 that turned into over $100,000? for example)

Interesting story, if BTC really did make this happen!

omg beautyyy

For every cent of Bitcoin bought in 2009-2010, It was worth over $1200 in November 2013. So if goat bought $100 worth of Bitcoin in 2010. He'd have 4.3mill, just an example. xD

Nice. How much in btc

omg  i love it !!

That'd be cool.

The Veyron is a great car, superfast, but as easy to drive as any normal car.

Woow we can buy lambo with btc on this website for every cars?

Thanks for the daily reminder of not buying Bitcoin when it was cheap back in the day. Will the suicidal thoughts subside some day?  :'(

What is having a good brain if not the luck of being born with good genetics, the right wirings to come up with thinks that have never been though before and so on? It's ALL mostly luck to hit wealthy status, let's be serious here for a sec.

more like bitcon or iponzibtc

Jesus this is amazing. Feel free just to give this to me so I can be the only 16 year old that drives a lambo.

Like this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79sFkUi2iAc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79sFkUi2iAc)

I couldn't justify purchasing something like this I would be scared someone would scratch it and would only have it in my show room.

Bugatti bought with litecoin ? More info plz!!

Old news. It didn't happen AFAIK and Goat is not active here anymore. But I'm expecting Risto to buy some supercar with his Monero stash 1-2 years later. ;)

psshh we all know the Rimac is the new sports car in town.

Fastest sports car + it's electric

http://cdn.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Rimac-Concept-One-3-4-Front.jpg

Don't be jealous.  This can very easily be all of us in a few years.  ;)  I am fairly certain it is not about what price bitcoin is purchased yet because we are all very early in this and the rate of increase could be as great, or even greater, than it has already been.  It could very well be that we will have our own "Lambos" in a few years as well.  A little patience is an important thing when it comes to BTC. 

...to life as well. Same rules apply. :)

The bitcoin Lamborghini is for sale in Dallas, Texas  :o

Is Goat selling his Lamborghini or did he already sell it and a dealership has it?

He already sold it to the dealership.   :'(

Bought for 216 btc, selling for 720 btc. Nice profit!

Yeah, that's a no bullshit rate of return. Goat has always proven to be two things: crazy as a shithouse rat and a savvy investor. Maybe those two things aren't mutually exclusive. lol

Go Goat :)

I would have put more than 4k miles on it though!

Should I kill my self ?? on the picture you posted here TRWNBC
how come the seller sold his Lamborghini for like ~50,000$ ? Pretty sure it costs millions or he bought it a long time ago when the price of Bitcoin was higher ?
https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.therevolutionwillnotbecentralized.com%2FLambo1.png&t=553&c=TfFv9wWb7e1aqQ

Nice sale. Wonder if bitcoin will hit the $1000 mark again anytime soon.

This is how I see the story playing out..

Trades Lambo back into BTC, Buys Bugatti, Trades Buggati back to BTC, Buys Yacht.

haha and start again, like all of the bussiness yes?

the difference here is that they are doing it with style :P

This thread is a real dream/ambition/motivation for mere mid 2014 adopters like myself, obvious it's miles away at the moment but maybe if we go to $10,000 in 10+ years time then this kind of dream is a reality for people like myself.
Hey it's good to dream big isn't it, no matter how unrealistic it may seem right now we have to hold out hope.

Yeah, but bitcoin was worth a lot more back then. Does anyone know the fiat value of what he paid for it originally?

At a guess 150,000 - 200,000 GBP roughly translating to 240,000 - 300,000 USD.
Just off the top of my head a top spec Lambo will cost in the range of those prices.

Thats some pretty nice returns ~500 btc, he has done the trade very well, congrats :)

I have a castle for sale for 4500 BTC, or serious offer :)

I've owned a couple of quasi supercars. I don't think I'd ever go there again. In the UK it doesn't inspire appreciation. People just tend to think you're a flashy twat.

Staying under the radar is far more peaceful and more fun. I'd go for a stinky old banger with a few hundred grand's worth of WRC technology bristling underneath.

I imagine it's fun for awhile but the attention would get old unless you crave it. I've heard many people say that's the reason they ditch their dream cars even though they love driving them.   Saying that..it would be great to have one for the occasional ride. In my location it's super unnecessary and you must be super rich as upfront cost and maintenance are stupid compared to the U.S..and the roads are not super car worthy.

I'd like to have one on some kind of timeshare if I ever end up spending time in the U.S again..and, well, btc makes me wealthy again lol.

Wasn't aware that was the current of thought in the UK, it seemed quite the opposite when I went there once: super cars pretty much everywhere on the streets. Of all kinds and brands...

So I guess there are many twats around there? :D

As for staying under the radar... Agreed ;)

Lamborghini is no big deal. Got one too. ;D ;D

Compared to almost any other country I've been to, the UK is heaving with top end cars. In comparison in Europe or the US you might spot a fancy car every couple of days if you're lucky.

It's not down to wealth as much as a love of outrageous amounts of credit. I think the UK is the world's most personally indebted economy by a long way.

A supercar in London is just part of the landscape. Elsewhere it's open season from jealous dick heads. Brits do not like or encourage overt displays of success.

There are lots of high end cars and super cars here in the UK. It's not rare at all.

Just at my gym in the car park are Astons, Porsches, ferraris (sometimes). One guy I know has a Bugatti veyron too! But he keeps it at his holiday home in Monaco.

Unbelievable.

Seriously though, they can't all be rich surely?

Nope it's all on the never never. Look at all the finance options on the table for the average car buyer here. In France you can barely get the bank to hand over a credit card with a couple of hundred Euro limit.

Seeing stuff like this burns quite a bit. Such is the luck of the early investors. I hope that we can celebrate something like this 10 years from now, hopefully our current stacks can afford us a lambo.

If I invest the amount some people say is a good number of btc to retire on I may as well just go out and buy a gallardo right now. I am hoping they are wrong and in the future just a few bitcoins will get a lambo

Any investment is going to pay more to the initial investors than it pays when the investment is more seasoned. I'm jealous of the early Apple Inc investors. Every one of them is famously wealthy, later investors - not so much.

I told you man... Experto crede

Last time we did it, you were just a kid :)

This is assuming that they did not cash out prior to Apple having the incredible run that started ~10ish years ago. I am sure that there are plenty of people that purchased bitcoin when it was trading for only pennies, to later sell for ~$5 each, missing the runup to over $1,000. I don't see why there would be any reason why Apple shareholders would not engage in a similar practice in some instances.

Nice, congrats man, how much you buy that Lambo for? Is this only for Lamborghinis? or other super cars too?

That's my point. It shouldn't burn any more for Bitcoin than it does for any other investment. Hindsight is 20/20.

Where at and will you owner finance? :)

around 150k euro, there was a similar case of one guy purchasing one lambo via 4chan two years ago

http://www.dailydot.com/business/4chan-bitcoin-lamborghini/

maybe is that guy above?

I think there's a bit of pride mixed up in the burning too. Apple just makes stuff, albeit cool stuff in the eyes of others.

If you'd said you were going all in back in the day people might have said 'woah, that's a risk' but it was just another company and one with a healthy past.

Going all in and winning with BTC is a far more way out move in the eyes of many. It proves to your pussy investor friends that you had vision and balls of steel.

I'm about to buy a new lambo with the profits ima bout to make on CIRC.
Sickest wallet in the cryptosphere.

Lambo here I come.

We are talking about the famous Bitcoin Castle in Malla, Estonia (https://www.facebook.com/mallacastle?fref=ts). And no, you don't buy castles on credit  ;)

You should update your cover photo with a real photo of castle.

Yes I completely agree with you. The price of bitcoin has completely skyrocketed and there was a time when it was trading for pennies and the people who have bought bitcoins that time and still having it will have the luxury to spend them on such items, this is one of the things that has made many early adopters multi millionaires.

Care to share how you made your wealth? it's always interesting to hear how rich people become rich (except when they inherit most of it which is sadly the case in tons of occasions).

I ain't wealthy. I used to broker and buy and sell classic and competition cars. It was a filthy business filled with scum and it got worse the higher up you went. I despise thieving and lying so I was never really going to end up making bank and there is a LOT of money sloshing around in that market wanting to be spent.

There were high end American dealers paying little old men in Modenese sheds to take a $50,000 basket case Ferrari, hammer out a new body, glue on fake numbers and sell it for several mil.

After one ludicriously fast car too many I got it out of my system and these days I'd prefer to take the bus.

My silliest was probably a 640 bhp Ford RS200. Luckily the public approved of that one or didn't know what it was. Had I hung on to some of the cars I played with back in the day then I would be wealthy.

I have a better idea:
Apply for financing to finish it, make it a profitable business and then sell it in shares.

You might want to organize a share issuence for instance via invesdor.com for finishing the building.
After that sell your share to someone else, but before that it obviously need to make profit. Nobody wants to buy a business that loses money.

Castles don't make money, they consume it. Anybody who thinks otherwise has probably never owned one  ;D

Yet it is a nice place to spend the Midsummer Night - in Estonia, it's tomorrow.

You are right, I have not owned a castle. I wonder how did you guess.  ::)

While it is true a castle in own use costs money indeed, it can be used also for business but then it has to be in good shape.
Weddings, concerts, accomondation etc. can be organized there and they all bring money in + you probably can apply some kind of financial aid from EU or some other instance - after all, it has some historical value.
If I am not mistaken, Haikon Kartano in Finland has that type of business model despite it is not very convenient to reach there - one need to own a car to get there (which a large position of people living in Helsinki do not own).

Come on. Isn't everyone here typing from their castle? Show us some deeds or forever leave this thread.

I occasionally borrow a compact and bijoux Scottish castle. It's 11th century but sadly it's been turned into a 70s nightmare of his n'hers vanity tables and acres of stripped pine. I don't think I'd be buying it any time soon even if I had the cash, let alone a properly sized one.

Googled some photos of that castle.
I am not sure if I found the right one but to me the one I found looked, well, ugly (outside, not so much inside).
Like a stereotype of a haunted castle from some kind of horror story.

If you paid me nicely I might consider taking it for a while but if I had to pay - no way. Not even for free.

Didn't know it was usual in the UK to have such huge car loans :) Now I see that many people are living above and beyond their possibilities.

I thought the population there actually had quite a bit more money than the average european person, but I guess that's just hear say.

It is prosperous in parts, especially London of course. The South East sucks a vast amount of life from the rest of the country. Loads of Europeans come there because there's more money to be made and it's far easier and more lucrative to set up a business there than elsewhere in Europe.

There's something like 300,000 French folks in London alone, so many that they might get their own MP in the French parliament.

One thing that does unify Brits is their love of suicidal quantities of credit.

In France you have to fellate your bank manager to get the tiniest of mortgages. In the UK they were doling out 125% mortgages to any old psycho with 'self certification' ie you just told them you were earning enough and they'd gaily hand over the cash.  

There's loads of money sloshing around. Not a great deal of it was actually earned.

All of the above is true to a certain extent, but as someone with modest experience in the hospitality business I can honestly tell you that there's probably not a single "ancient"* castle in the world that truly makes money. There are locations where a castle is accompanied by a large, new resort or something where business is profitable, though.

*ancient meaning not just a fake facade like Disneyworld ;)

Yes,
i know some people in my hometown who have this castle which is falling apart (1276 A.D.). They are part of a noble family but don't have much money to take care of the castle.

I have a secret plan... One day I want it for me.

:D

Don't! Owning a castle is not fun, it's a burden. If you really really really love it and you want to make it the center of your life, go for it. Else, stay away, just rent one for a week or two every once in a while ;)

Eh if you don't ask the answer is always no. :)

I'll keep chipping away I suppose.

I once toured multiple stately homes and country estates looking for some land to use. Without exception the owners were desperate and horrifically broke. One guy lived in a green house in his main hall as that was the only thing he could afford to heat.

Maybe I was hanging out with the wrong people.

don't worry it is still too expensive anyway... but i have some idea to turn it into a btc making machine ;)

one day...

I can wait

I admire that Car, Lamborghini stands as a beautiful girl with colorful yellowish dress, Well, it's Awesome, you made it and hope it will follow the same with other brands too, my personal choice is Rolce Royce hope to see it in the future with Bitcoin.

Grats to you dude for having that sexy babe with you, it's seriously like a dream came true as said somewhere before...

Ghini's just awesome, hope you are taking complete advantage of this babe... ;)

And the most important thing has been, it has been bought with Bitcoins... Who says people don't know much about BTC???

has of now im saving 2 bitcoins for the future, say up to 2025 to see if i would be able to buy a lamborghini with just 2 bitcoins, or it could be a good down payment heehehe, I'll be on my early forty's .

Hmmmm... elitist 1 percenter using bitcoin to buy richie-rich toy.  I feel so... empowered ?!

If you mean by ancient the ruins, it definetely will not make money.
However, if the castle is renovated with style (you can hire cheap labour from eastern Europe - probably you will get professionals from countries like Poland, Romania, Bulgaria etc. for less than 3-5 euros/hour) it should bring some income. Of course the maintenance is a headache, but also the owner can do it while spending some good time there. After all, the maintenance of own castle should be fun also and one needs to love it and serving the customers with high standards.
Also managing the castle probably gives a lot of time when the manager can also enjoy (not every minute there is a customer).
The prices should also be competive especially in country like Estonia.
It will not be a gold mine but I think it is possible to make some money while having good times...

The lambo thing is very possible and might happen very soon. This is not only applicable to BTC but also to ETH the rival of BTC in the coinmarketcap. Cant wait to have my lambo in 2020 ;)  This is the beauty of crypto.

After reading this thread, I became very excited to continue collecting bitcoin as much as possible and realize the dream to be able to get lamborghini. Hopefully in 2020 bitcoin that I have can suffice to buy lamborghini.

I would not be surprised if somewhere already for bitcoin houses are bought. such a deal I think will be popularized

Located in MO? I hope to drive past you! Makes my audi look like crap

Lol Goat, this is awesome!

Woow! Congratulations! This is what I consider as a success! I hope one day I would be a Hero Member and write a post like that

In the automotive sphere, bitcoins are often taken as payment for premium cars. So, the sensational Tesla Model S cost about 140 thousand euros not once sold for bitcoins at the current rate.

goat was first, it was yellow, he didn't keep it long

end of story

he deleted most of his posts before he left, I don't know when he changed his user name to El Cabron.  He was a fixture here back in the day.  Started a private board called crypto crypt...all those guys are probably rich as fuck by now.

According to me this is really very very good news that a luxury car company has accepted bitcoin as a payment and sold his car in exchange of bitcoin . Lamborghini suppose to be the very expensive car and many people can just dream of having it but bitcoin has enabled to complete this dream. Bitcoin always helps people in achieving my dreams in life and moreover this is very big achievement for bitcoin also that its use has been started as a payment method

Yeah, he is rich as fuck. He probably has tens of thousands of btc. Remember Goat ran a pass-through for Pirate@40. The pass-through operators were never prosecuted and kept all their btc.
