Many of the people that paid with BTC last year have now paid multiples of the original purchase price due to this deception and the strength of BTC vs USDs.

And if bitcoin had gone down vs USD, we would have paid merely a fraction. This line of reasoning is not sound. Those who preordered with BTC (including myself) could have mitigated their risk by immediately going out and purchasing BTC to cover the amount at market rate.

But therein lies the rub, for if the rate did decline, the purchaser would have been out on two counts. Some actually did do this, albeit indirectly, via purchasing from Pastor Tom, too, to hedge their bit, but the gods weren't so kind to them.

"Suddenly" is not going to work here for a number of reasons, the main one being the chances of matching up someone prepared to source and sink such large sums in Bitcoin and who happens to want to exchange a house are small, "Gradually" could work though, in a number of different ways.

1) Gradual purchase or combined rent/buy.  I have never done this but I think it has a huge capability to offere advantages to both buyer and seller even without bitcoins.
    It does need to be drafted fairly, and so seller and buyer need to have enough sense to recognise when this is not the case.
    In this scheme the purchaser effectively gives the purchaser a mortgage on the house and agrees to rent it to them for a period of time, say 15 years. There is also a deed of sale to sell the house in 15 years time for a nominal sum, provided that rent has never fallen significantly in arrears. The rental agreement allows the seller to evict the purchaser if "rent" is not paid, under certain conditions.
    Advantages of the scheme: The buyer does not need to come up suddenly with large amounts of Bitcoin which is tricky if you have not already got them. There is no 3rd party mortgage company involved. Steady bitcoin income for the seller (probably denominated in fiat.)

2) Part of the price is paid in bitcoin. Advantageous to the seller because the registered sale price is reduced, so capital gains and capital transfer tax is reduced. (Assuming tax is NOT paid on the Bitcoin part of the transaction. ) Advantage to buyer: capital transfer tax reduced, capital gains tax liability is transferred.

1) & 2) can be combined of course.


Or via an entirely different process altogether, with the net result being an individual owns outright a home paid entirely with bitcoins to a Real Estate agent in one of the 50 US states, where said agent has a Bitcoin payment option on their respective website.

Google the quote to see who said it.

I have no idea about the US real Estate market but private mortgages between the existing owner and buyer are quite popular here they are legal contracts and pretty much like your option 1 suggestion.

The other way could be a land bank style company

One of the main problems is going to be trying to keep any sales within the community so it is bitcoin only

In bold, I have a solution. Coming soon!

This'd have been prolly useful six months ago.

So, his user name was immune prior to changing it to Cablepair. That explains why he's used it elsewhere on the net.

security problems are going to be the end of bitcoin users who can't protect our own investments. And I'm not even talking about files that are broadcast across the world via web, I'm talking about my own personal computer. How fucking stupid are some of us?!

Bold, just about sums it up.

From the last post of the same thread:

further more not only have I made right on that situation but I have also conducted thousands of dollars in positive transactions on this forum since then, there is not a single person on this forum or any where else that can call me a scammer.

That being the case, guess it's time to close this thread.

Bruno, don't let me find out that you've been "mixing" your paint for that barn wood. I don't want the cows getting high.

Moot point, for I mix milk paint (Google it!). Seriously, I do mix my own milk paint. And they're not cows! They're goats, but with you not being back home to Indiana for so long, you may have forgotten the difference. Hey! After penning that bit of humor, I came up with an idea--Goat Milk Paint.

For lack of a better place to post this concern, short of starting a new thread:

For the past couple three days, I seem to be getting more than my fair share of 502 BAD GATEWAY errors.

Just a heads-up, theymos. Oh, and BTW, thanks for fuckin' up my hobby thread. Some people may have had pleasure viewing all those animated GIF avatars in the OP, but not anymore thanks to their URL links being changed.

I'll occasionally see stuff in the corner of my eye that I think is there for maybe a split second.  But it only ever occurs if I've been in my house for a long period of time without much interaction with anyone else.

I don't think it's really a problem until you start taking it seriously  Tongue  I remember one time I mistook a vacuum cleaner for a little girl in a dress.  I have no idea how I mistook one for the other.  I know for a fact I double knotted those ropes.

I once mistaken a girl in a dress for a vac... Never mind!

Excuse me, but $23.20 is NOT the top.

I never said $23.20 was the top. $23.98 was the top, however I'm calling the top as being $23.98 even though it's $23.20 right now because I just checked the price. I mean who honestly monitors it 24/7? I haven't looked at the price in 15 hours. Do you think Bitcoin will go up further? Well good for you. I don't. SIMPLE.

Stating things clearly is too complicated for you I guess.

agreed it could go higer but it is a bubble right now.

50 bitcoins, ill do whatever you want, tell me what to do for 50 btc, or whatever you want. I'll do it.

I was going to pen, "Boy do I have a thread of you!", but I see you already found it, you perv.  Grin Anybody have a ballpoint pen they longer plan on using? I've got an idea!  Grin

EDIT: It may, or may not, need the product depicted in the post directly above this one.
