Portugal is a great place to buy a house with bitcoins because it accepts cryptocurrencies well, treats bitcoin as a form of payment and as a fully tax-exempt asset, came in first place in a survey of the best places to live last year for one of the sites, is a good place to buy real estate and live in it, and is working to become one of the most technologically advanced European nations.

The two men behind the purchase and sale of the house in Portugal have a strong faith in Bitcoin, which is why they took such a big decision. Their decision is really commendable.

There have already been 13 purchases/sales of homes carried out with Bitcoin.
That is, there are more and more people trusting bitcoin and using it to buy high-value goods, such as a house (and houses in Portugal are at very inflated prices).
This proves that slowly people's trust and confidence in Bitcoin is increasing. According to your information about 13 houses have been bought and sold through Bitcoin transactions so far. Its number may increase. We know the news that is usually published.  Maybe there is a lot of news that we don't know. Some buyers or sellers may have bought and sold their homes with Bitcoin without telling anyone. But in any case, Bitcoin is making progress.  

We want people to not limit their Bitcoin transactions to just buying and selling houses. Let people use Bitcoin as a means of transaction in other areas as well.

When in a country you can buy and sell houses using bitcoin, means that you can buy/sell anything directly in Bitcoins and the government and financial institutions are no objection to these transactions. This is indeed great progress and i wished other country's governments also give such freedom to their citizens.
In my country, we can't think of buying a house with Bitcoin because every buy sell needs to be through the banking channel as governments do not support and recognize the use of cryptocurrencies.

It will be a really good experience to buy the house with Bitcoin. This news will really inspire Bitcoin users. Because this event is very rare, the use of Bitcoin is increasing and soon investors will invest more.We will hear more similar stories of properties available to buy with Bitcoin.Bitcoin usage gives complete legal support to the buyers so that everything is done according to the law. So those countries will increase bitcoin transactions and everyone will be more interested in bitcoin. We want to facilitate such legal opportunities in all countries.

This is a great move of Bitcoin adoption and usefulness in Crypto space.

With the look of things, bitcoins will have more use cases as it become accepted by the government, however there will definitely be some regulations in terms of some use cases.

Accepting bitcoin as payment is really possible, it depends on the person you are talking to if they know the concept of bitcoin, which means that no matter what type of business type it is, bitcoin can really be used.

This is true to a certain extent. There are purchases that require legal records, and the law must authorize the purchase to be made using bitcoin.

This happens when buying a home. For everything to be legal, there has to be a deed according to the laws of the country. And at the time of the deed, it must be recorded how the house was paid for. If the law does not authorize the use of bitcoin, a direct purchase using bitcoin cannot be made.

In Portugal, at the moment, it is not necessary to convert bitcoin into fiat in order to be able to buy a house. But of course you have to pay taxes on that purchase in fiat.

        Now, if bitcoin was used to buy a house in Portugal, it is because the seller himself may have had knowledge of bitcoin for a long time and besides that, it is also for sure that he is also a bitcoin holder in my opinion.

A very good trend is that people have started accepting payment for real estate in Bitcoins. I am surprised by the fact that it is more profitable to buy an apartment than to rent, in my country the situation is completely different.

Just to give you an idea, in Lisbon, anyone who wants to rent a house pays twice as much as someone who has to pay a bank loan, even at this time of high interest rates.

So, if you have any possibility, which option to choose? If I had that option I would choose to buy instead of renting.

There's rent to own option on other country so much better to take that option if you can't afford to buy at the moment so that after years which agreed where the payment would last you can acquire that property unlike renting it without anything in return.

But much advisable with this option is to really buy a house since you cannot get any problem regarding on those monthly payment plus you can get this at much lesser rate compare to other options you are thinking of.

Interesting data from wikipedia says Portugal has 73.9% home-ownership rate which is pretty high. My guess is this probably played a part as home-ownership appears to be more on the norm side there indicating some locals may see it as an essential thereby making people more motivated to trigger the purchase button despite their inflated prices and bitcoin's long term potential.

Yes, in Portugal it is very common to buy a house instead of renting it, as the cost is practically the same. In many cases the monthly loan fee is lower than the monthly rental fee. That's why people in Portugal end up buying a house whenever they can.

Of course, at this time of interest rate hikes, things get more complicated. But also the rental prices are so inflated, it gets complicated in both cases.

Buying a house with Bitcoin, for those who have this ability, to get rid of monthly fees and save hundreds of euros every month.

According to the Order of Notaries of Portugal, to date, 13 purchases have been made using crypto. But, according to one of the main real estate companies carrying out this type of process, it indicates that there are forecasts for a few more crypto sales by the end of the year.

These are promising numbers considering the service is more or less a year old, plus one could say most crypto holders may be reluctant to spend their BTC's on high value goods but perhaps these buyers are just too loaded to care Cheesy

Buying and selling a house through Bitcoin is a great news for us. I would like to thank the two gentlemen who have undertaken this noble initiative. I am very happy and motivated to read this news. 

When someone dreams about something, it feels really good when someone else realizes his dream. I also have some plans for Bitcoin. If I can implement that plan then I will be very happy. 

The two men behind the purchase and sale of the house in Portugal have a strong faith in Bitcoin, which is why they took such a big decision. Their decision is really commendable.
It's definitely good for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general since it made it to the news and that will trigger more adoption or will at least spread more awareness among Bitcoin illiterate people of Portugal or any country in the world where the news is seen. Such events and trades are proof that Bitcoin can be used as a currency to buy things and isn't just an investment asset anymore.

The world around us mostly thinks that Bitcoin is nothing else than an investment opportunity while they lack the knowledge that Bitcoin wasn't created to be a store of wealth but was created to be a peer-to-peer money-transferring digital currency that is decentralized.

You can use your Bitcoin to buy any assets you desire, provided that Bitcoin isn't outright forbidden in your nation. To find out for sure if you aren't breaking the law, I believe that as a buyer, you should first speak with a lawyer and ask for guidance on this topic. I've always wanted to purchase some large items (a bike or a car) and pay with bitcoin, but sadly my nation does not yet permit it, therefore I am unable to realize this desire. The most reliable cryptocurrency is bitcoin, which is accessible in many European nations. Every time I read about the installation of bitcoin ATMs in other nations, I fervently hope that our nation would follow suit.

Some buyers or sellers may have bought and sold their homes with Bitcoin without telling anyone. But in any case, Bitcoin is making progress. 

All home purchases and sales must be carried out under contract, in front of a notary. And in that contract, it must be registered whether they were acquired by fiat or crypto.

According to the Order of Notaries of Portugal, to date, 13 purchases have been made using crypto. But, according to one of the main real estate companies carrying out this type of process, it indicates that there are forecasts for a few more crypto sales by the end of the year.

Buying house with btc as a payment is seems very interesting. I always dreamed to buy some big things(Bike, Car) and pay via Btc but unfortunately because of my country not allowing i am not yet able to fulfill my dream. Btc is most trusted crypto coin and its available in many Europe countries. whenever i see news of number of btc Atm placing in any country I also wish that this happens in our country.

I hope that one day everyone will be able to buy through Btc. journey of btc from 2009 to 2023 is very interesting and it is a sign of its success that many countries have accepted it as payment .

Since the first deed for the purchase of a house with Bitcoin was made, a year ago, 13 houses have already been purchased using crypto as payment.

Even during this bear in the crypto market, people are still willing to buy houses with Bitcoin, according to recent news.

Here is the article in Portuguese on this subject:

Kudos to both the person selling the home and the person buying the home for making such a great decision. With this transaction I think Bitcoin moved forward a bit more.  Currently we see a lot of news related to Bitcoin where big transactions are organized through Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin will touch more new milestones as time goes on.
transacting with bitcoin will definitely be a massive choice for many people in the future because it is very efficient, fast and the fees are cheap. i started selling my old stuff and accept optional payment with bitcoin, even though the majority of the buyers who have bought old stuff i don't understand what bitcoin is but i'm sure in the future it will change. buying a house with bitcoin like in Portugal is brilliant.
With the change of time, the prevalence of various transactions through Bitcoin is increasing day by day. There are many countries in Europe that use Bitcoin to buy their daily necessities. The use of paper money is decreasing day by day and now people are finding it more convenient to carry money online. While paper money can be lost or stolen, digital currency does not have this problem. So people now prefer to keep more amount of money in their digital wallets.  Hopefully Bitcoin will one day become one of the medium of transactions when people will buy all their necessities with Bitcoin.
