Bitcoins hit the real estate market in Mallorca
By Moris Beracha.-
A resident at the Spanish island has put up for sale a house on
the coast using bitcoins. According to the seller, the house is bright,
furnished, with a terrace and a classic decoration, but it can be purchased for
about 400,000 euros or in a type of currency that has been in everyone's lips
for the past few months: the Bitcoin.
This payment
method is a pioneer in Mallorca, although it is not new in Spain. In early
January, the first house was sold in Tarragona for about 40 bitcoins. Although
its supporters praise the transaction as an example of "economy among
equals", it is also criticized for its excessive volatility.
The media success
of the sale in Tarragona caught the attention of Joan, a Mallorcan citizen with
a house for sale in Can Picafort. "My coworkers and I have talked about
bitcoins, and we have been receiving information about its operation for a few
months," said the seller.
The owner said
that he wants "to sell the house and do it legally." In the end,
there is a recurrent idea: do not use bitcoin to evade taxes or anything like
that.
