what happens to bitcoin prices if it actually sells? Does bitpremier dump them on the market?

You could buy one thousand nights in a nice hotel at 1900$ per night with that kind of money.
True, but if you buy that property, you can live there 1000 nights then potentially sell it for more and make a profit.
But do you want to live there instead of in a nice hotel?

To me the fact that some guy owning such an apartment is trying to grab a large amount of bitcoins by doing it in the techkiddy way is way more interesting than the condo itself.

Yeah that doesn't sound right. $1.9M for a one bedroom timeshare?
hey, its NY City.
i asked him if this was a typical price for all the units in the building and he said yes.

dropped in to visit today.
beautiful building exterior and interior lobby. didn't have an appt so i didn't get to see the unit itself. but get this from the frontdesk guy:
it's a timeshare. you only get it for x months/weeks of the year (he didn't know exactly how many months). but you clearly can't go and live in it for even like a month at a time. they also let overnight guests rent the condo as a normal hotel unit and a % of the nightly rates go to the shared owners.
needless to say, $1.9 M is an enormous amount for something like that. i'd rather hold my bitcoins.
ps: if the owner would like to correct me on anything i got wrong, please feel free to do so.
