Topic: I'm All In - Sold My House! - page 6. (Read 112525 times)
If i am lucky if i have also a house to sell before and i early know the bitcoin maybe i have lots of bitcoins too to sell when the price is reach 800 this coming block halving or after block halving..
it looks like the starter of the topic was meaning to just troll but actually i think at the current state of the market it would be a good idea to go big in bitcoin and invest what you can (obviously not everything you own) because of the recent decrease.
I wish I had a house to sell too... would buy everything I can when we are at 300 again this summer 
You might meet the same fate as the OP.... Huge paper losses.
any update from op after 2yrs? 
Most likely sold his bitcoin within the same week or month.
The price back then was good enough to cash out basically making the house as a cash buy. Think it was $800-900 at that time?
Im sure hes comfortable with less overhead of a devalued house.

Is this true? When did you sell your house/bought btc? in april 2014? than you didnt win anything..... Yet..... But you will...... Soon.
Thats very good that you sell the house and every bit and pieces of this house is invested in bitcoins.
I shall want eveyone should think like this. and keep on investing in the bitcoins
At this time not only you but everyone is trying his best to do something in order to buy some bitcoin, I have heard from another person also that he is selling his house for that and will buy some bitcoin, everyone should have to buy bitcoin.
Sold ur house..great
Hi All,
I have been following Bitcoin for over a year and was the first person ever to put my house for sale for bitcoin.
http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2013/03/alberta-man-accepting-bitcoins-in-exchange-for-home.html
Not sure if you followed my story from a year ago, but the house just sold on Friday, and will make the news tomorrow I suspect. When the house closed on Friday I got approximately 648 BTC for my house which is based on prices over the past 6 months when the deal was actively negotiated, legal fees, realtor fees, and a bunch of contract wording that I frankly don't understand. I am now all in! I really believe in bitcoin. It is the future of the world. I look forward to the continued price increase and one day I plan to own my own island. I will truly be a bitcoin billionaire by the time I am 25 I believe. This house was inherited from my father who passed away a few years ago and he always believed in me and told me I would make it big one day and so I shall. Wish me luck

Ballsy. Congratulations! Don't think I'll ever be able to pull off something like that. I'm far too sentimental to let go of my inherited house.
This is unusual.
After the current fluctuations I wouldn't be willing to place all of my GBP and assets on Bitcoin to see if it goes big.
Wish you luck though (though this is not necessarily the best time to buy)!

I have a little bit of GBP and im willing to put it into anything else but GBP. Fiat has got to be one of the worse investments ever i only like to keep what i need of it to pay bills etc.
That will be nice if you are making some nice profit with it, but the only thing is that you can never know it from before what the value will be and that can be risky for you.
The only thing that you have to do is just make some risks otherwise it is not possible to earn money.

Selling for bitcoin might be good but not that much. Using common sense is also important, in my view.

Sold ur house for bitcoins..strange
Wait, you're telling us that instead of selling your house back around march 2013 for dollars and then buying bitcoins you waited a year for a buyer that was willing to offer bitcoins directly?
Either you are trolling or that would really suck
[edit] sorry for appearing rude. It is great that you believe in bitcoin but you should be prepared to potentially lose it all.
It would be an absolute shame if your inheritance that your parents have worked hard for would go to waste
I am not understanding this but why are people selling there houses because I would never sell my house for a Bitcoin. A house is more then money in my opinion. Either you are trolling or that would really suck

It can be a nice or bad decision and that is because you never know from before what the value will be and that is the problem of Bitcoin, so you have to take risks.
But the bad the bad thing is that if you are losing that you have nothing so you have also to save some money.

Isn't this the same with other things as well?
For instance if you invest $10k is shares of a company and later there will be announcements that this company was involved in bribing on a huge scale to have an advantage on the market or it is less innovative as the years before and therefore competition seems to pass this company soon. Then you could end with a big loss too.
Your whole life is a risk. You could have a car accident tomorrow and be dead. So do you decide to stay at home instead? Probably not.
The key is to weigh up how much risk you wanna take!
If the 10k is all the money you have, then investing that amount would be dumb!
People are this serious and even sell their own house to invest in Bitcoin. I hope that the price in the future will be high enough for these people to buy a new house.
I would never sell my house for Bitcoins because it still is a gamble.

I would maybe consider it if the bitcoin is one of the biggest currency's globally and its stable, than there is a chance I would do this.
Right now I think its also crazy because the bitcoin is not even stable and I think its very risky to do this right now...

With bitcoin only if you involve seriously you can earn else the profit or earning you make will be very less. Bitcoin earnings were highly risky. You may go up, at the same has the possibility to go low.
