🏠 A house worth 1.3 million dollars was bought with Bitcoin in 2017… a world first at the time 😱


At that time, many still viewed Bitcoin as a geek currency or a speculative asset.
Yet in Austin, Texas, a buyer decided to purchase a luxury property with their $BTC.
The house was located on the shores of Lake Austin and included 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a garage, and an infinity pool.
The deal was finalized in just a few minutes thanks to the BitPay platform, which converted the bitcoins into dollars to complete the sale.
Real estate agent Sheryl Lowe:
“Over the course of my 33 years in transactions, honestly, I couldn’t have expected something so unique to go so smoothly. In 10 minutes, Bitcoin was converted into dollars and the deal was closed!”
Today, crypto real estate transactions exist in many countries.
