I spend mine, and have given away over 15,000 BTC in years past as developer bounties. This land sale is another example of same: you create a bitcoin economy when you buy and sell with bitcoins.

i've only been involved a couple months but I spent 9 ! . Ideally I would like my paychecks to get automatically converted into bitcoins. Then I would pay everything with them if I could. If it were possible.

Due to bitcoin's value volatility, the purchase price is indexed to the US Dollar, and would be converted a couple days before closing/settlement. So at present market price, $70,000 is more like 953 BTC ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Answering some questions left by a private inquirer: Q. Does this include permission to build on the vacant land? (Apparently in some countries the right-to-build may be separate) A. In Wake County/NC/USA, a construction permit is required. The purpose of the permit is an engineering evaluation, to ensure you are building a safe building. As long as your submitted engineering plans conform to local building codes, you may build as you like, when you like. Q. Are foreigners permitted to purchase this land? Are corporations permitted to purchase? A. Yes and yes. The county's Register Of Deeds will require a name and mailing address for public records and property taxes. Property taxes must be paid in USD, not BTC.

For the purposes of property tax calculation, these are the assessed values, according to Wake County: Lot #5: $67,146 (paid $412 for property taxes in current tax year) Lot #11: $58,900 (paid $361 for property taxes in current tax year) The tax values are above listing price, and in my opinion, are over-valued. The property values are re-assessed every few years, but you can always go through a months-long appeals process to "short circuit" that.

It has come to my attention that Lot #11 was mispriced, and is actually being sold below cost.
The new price for Lot #11 is $33,000 (or bitcoin equivalent). The other prices are unchanged.
Snapshot, based on $87.99 current price:
Both lots ($70,000): 795 BTC Lot #5 alone ($45,000): 511 BTC Lot #11 alone ($33,000): 375 BTC

Unfortunately, North Carolina is a bit far afield for me.
But best of luck to you!

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.
