10 Amazing luxurious things you can buy with Bitcoin today
By SaTT on The Capital
Cryptocurrency has really gained a lot of attention, it has come a long way from the relatively unknown “digital money” that it was over 10 years ago when Bitcoin launched. Bitcoin is regarded as the father of all cryptocurrencies as it paved the way for the many cryptocurrencies that are in existence today. Although the whole world is yet to fully adopt this new form of money that operates on a distributed ledger technology, it really has received amazing acceptance considering the level of resistance it was met during its early days.
During bitcoin’s early days, precisely 2010, when it was not worth as much as it does today, a man named Lazlo Hanyez, who is now popularly known as the bitcoin pizza guy, made the first real-world use of bitcoin by purchasing two of Papa John’s Pizza that was worth $30 for 10,000 BTC! As at the time of that transaction, the deal looked like a bargain, but in today’s world, 10,000 BTC is worth over $80 million! A ridiculous amount to pay for Pizza. The transaction made on that day gave rise to the ‘Bitcoin Pizza day’ that is very popular in the crypto space today.
Bitcoin really has come a long way since that eventful day, from ICOs hype to exchange hacks or major lawsuits, it has still continued to see real-world use cases and is expected to continue on that path. In today’s world, a lot of companies are beginning to accept cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin, as a form of payment, and there are a lot of amazing things that can be bought using bitcoin. 10 of those will be revealed in this article.
The River Super Ego 68’ 2012
The River Super Ego 68’ 2012 is a super exclusive speed yacht that was born and bred in Italy, a country that is known for its sexy women and elite sports car. As of 2015, this bad boy was worth around 7,500 bitcoin or 2 million dollars (over 60 million dollars in bitcoin’s current price). For a yacht that houses over 1,600 HP, has a Raymarine autopilot, a satellite decoder, is equipped with GPS and radar, has a base sound system, has its own grille and washes your plate, the yacht was a bargain at that price.
Diamonds and Gold
Of course, everyone loves diamonds and gold, especially using it as a means of diversifying portfolios.
