Re: 50,000 Bitcoin for a 2-bedroom apartment

So, I was casually browsing on the web and saw this hilarious story about Ryhan Serhant(agent) offered to buy 2 bedroom apartment in New York for 50,000 Bitcoin ($13,000,000) for his client on 2015. That's around $260 per Bitcoin on that time.

Now, that 50,000 Bitcoins is now worth $5B ($100k/btc). Yeah, that's a lot now and if that deal went through there will be for sure some holdings left on that seller but it didn't happen and the seller didn't like the idea and the worth of its valuation at that time because the value and the listing price of the apartment should be around $13,950,000 - $14,000,000 compared to the offer of the buyer which was valued less than approx a $1M.

Man, we gotta love all of these Bitcoin purchases in the past and the sellers didn't accept any of these offers. I'm sure that there are other documented purchases that ended up the same.

Quite funny but honestly? I don't think bitcoin would've gotten this big if not for these ludicrous purchases in the past.

Little by little these purchases and usages of bitcoin allowed it to be seen by more people, to be expected by more enterprises as a valid payment method. Imagine if Pizza Hut didn't accept bitcoin back in 2008, or any store for that matter, you think bitcoin will be this big by itself? I don't think so. Can still remember that one meme where a starcraft tournament was held and the consolation prize for the 5th and 6th place was 25 bitcoins, imagine how much that was right now, or how rich those people feel against the ones that won 900 bucks lol.

It's these kinds of things that really made bitcoin what it is, the more people who regard of it as a valid mode of payment, or a viable investment, the more it grows in power and value, I myself don't mind if I have to take one for the industry and sell a couple bitcoins for a land property, provided I got that shit documented and stuff cause I'm a fame whore like that lol, just kidding.
