The Old Dog Declares: The Good News in Crypto Just Keeps on Coming!
Houses are being bought and sold for Bitcoin. Will it be much longer before Steem is used? I think not!
Will You Buy Your Next Home With Steem?
Today my wife excitedly sent me a text message with a photo attached. Someone in our area was selling their palatial villa for Bitcoin. This marked a first for Switzerland. Check out the article she sent me below!
Here is The Translation Of The Article:
For the first time in history, a house in Switzerland has not been put up for sale in Swiss Francs but instead in digital Bitcoin. This crypto currency was invented in 2009 and has seen increasing global adoption in the past few years. Located on the hills of Ascona, the villa is officially for sale at a price of 829 Bitcoin (about 2 million swiss francs). "As a fan of new technologies, I am firmly convinced of the enormous advantages of Bitcoin over traditional currencies like the dollar, the euro or the swiss franc." Says Stefan Christiani the promoter of the initiative.
If he likes Bitcoin He'd LOVE Steem!
Would You Like to See The Villa? Here it is!
This Potential Sale Has Received Wide Press Coverage Here in Switzerland!

Why Is This Good News For Steem?
- As Bitcoin goes more mainstream so will Steem. But even more so! Why?
- Steem is superior to Bitcoin in many ways including speed, security and zero transaction costs!
- You are earning Steem now! For example, comment on my post and get paid!
- Your "average Joe" can use this technology without understanding it. It's the Trojan Horse of crypto!
- Steemers have already converted the steem that they've earned to purchase land and homes.Check out @papa-pepper to see an example of this!
Do You Know About Steemit's Internal Economy?
- Steemit already has a flourishing internal economy!
- 10's of thousands of members are earning more and more by blogging.
- Steemit is poised to become the number once social network in the world!
- the hashtag steemgigs has members exchanging steem internally for performing tasks!
It is only a matter of time before two people with steemit accounts use this amazing currency to buy and sell a home!
I hope that you enjoyed this article about how "The Good News in Crypto Just Keeps on Coming!"
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
I'm not buying mine for straight BTC, but my STEEM and SBD is what will be paying for the materials for me to build my house. Getting the site ready now!
I'm so happy for you @papa-pepper! You've worked hard, stayed true to yourself, your family and your values! We don't seem to cross paths that often these days but I think of you often!
Did you see that I mentioned you in the article? Great blessings to you and your family!!!!
wow! amazing!
I wonder when this would come true in the country we wish to retire in
if they start accepting btc everywhere more so sell houses -
dream come true!
this is a very inspiring post!
The developments in crypto are interesting to follow!
This is awesome ! I am currently going to be using steem that I have powered down to pay for building my Power Shack that's supposed to start next week ! on my property in the country , which I am also planning on building a small house on, hopefully also paid for with steem !! And I still owe money on the property that I might also be able to pay for with steem ! Hahaha , I really do have hopes and dreams , but I know dreams can come true !! One step at a time , starting with my power shack , stay tuned for my post on that next week !! Steem on !!👍👍👍
We are very proud of you here on Steemit!
LOL thanks ! It would be great to post about how I bought my property , built a power shack and a small house , with steem ! Haha ! 👍👍👍😂😂😂
Steem on :)
thanks ! You too!👍👍👍
This is a good news! If people start to sell houses in bitcoin we can be shure that soon cryptocurrencies will be commonly used in every day life. People have just to get accustomed with this
Thanks @airmatti! There is also a Bitcoin machine in Chiasso now! Have you seen this card?: https://remittio.com/faq/
You should contact me because I have some more advice for you.
What! Good to know!! I just found some day ago how to convert SBD with VirWox but there's four steps to do... pretty intricate! Can i call you tomorrow?
Sure any time after about 09:30 I'll be in the office.
Ok thank you!
I am very sure before 2020 we will see large number of multi-million transactions in steem. Why?
Because "It's the Trojan Horse of crypto!"
It will be interesting to see how all of this unfolds. Hmmm 2020 perhaps @nba05 will be the one doing the transaction!
Ha haha! It is going to be very interesting (specially the recession is long due, and I think it is becuase this recession will be last of a kind), Steem will be champ in such a scenario.
You right, but I think that steem is much more than crypto.
Yes my dear friend @oldtimer, steem is the future (economy, currency, bank and social media)
I just arguing with guy a while ago and try to explain him about this. I gave up. Deaf guy!
So true, same with me. Nobody try to understand the great model of steem.
Let's hope some reasonable approach from Canadian authorities towards Crypto currencies.
I think it is matter of next recession!
It looks like I need to do some villa shopping soon. For crypto, for sure!
Great idea!
If Stan's project with bts get successful, I'm almost there.
Me too. I'm still buying bitshares!
How to convert steem and SBD to bts? Poloniex closed the door. It sucks.
I use Blocktrades.us
I may be on the streets pretty soon so I may have to! Let me pick your brain Oh Great One... When I upvote a post, it lowers my voting power. Does the same happen when I upvote a comment? I've got so many people that I'm trying to encourage by upvoting their posts, I get afraid that if I upvote comments, I'll run out. Please advise, Oh Wise One!
With the hard fork you have 10 full power votes a day! Use the slider when you vote. Experiment with it a bit until you see what the results are. As you try the slider at different levels check the results and write them down. Try a few vote at 10% which gives you 100 votes a day. At 5 % 200 a day. At 1% 1,000 a day.
Votes on comments or on an article use the same power. I try to give more for a good comment or to a newbie! Have fun and Steem on! Here's a vote for you at 5% £1.94. Not bad. My voting power is now at 96.54%
I will vote at 100% a few times a day and 50% a few times a day to help those that need it!
Thank you, my friend... That's what I suspected, I just wanted to make sure. I've already adjusted my slider accordingly (I hope). This will take a little getting used to!
What confused me is when I adjusted my slider for posts down and then went to upvote a comment- that slider was still at 100%. Apparently they're not related... I think that's what confused me. Thanks again!
You're posts are doing great right now. I have the utmost respect for you as on of the senior members on this platform!
Thanks! I may need it... I don't know how much longer I can hold on where I'm at. The guy I take care of really needs to be put somewhere with constant supervision. It will put me on the street... but what's important is that he's taken care of properly.
He went out and totaled a $65,000 Audi a couple of nights ago (Thank God nobody was hurt). I'm not capable of babysitting a 65 year old guy 24/7!
You should keep your account set on power down that way you're never more than 7 days away from cash. If you don't need it just power the Steem back up but keep it on power down. Get yourself a Shift card and then you can load it up with your earnings and use it as a debit card.
Keep Steeming while the going is good. You're doing great. Don't you have a government pension?
No, the govt. pension is out! I'm an orphan and don't know whose name I have... I never had a birth certificate. When I went in the military I "borrowed" a friend's SS # and switched a couple numbers. I don't even think my name is spelled right (I had to sound it out) I've never been able to find others with the same name.
I just hit 4000 SP today and want to keep it. I'm trying to write enough to put the SBD on my Bitpay card... I have some time. I really don't want to power down unless I absolutely have to... I worked too hard to get here!
My problem was "going legit" when I was making money illegally- I made it hand over fist (I gave it all away too story of my life). Stupid me thought I could be like everybody else. I went from $5000 a week to zip!!!
I admire your courage and honesty!
Ciao amico mio,
your optimism is borderless. I like that! But first, before buying my new house with steem, it should be possible to buy a cup of coffee here in Munich.
I am 59 years old now and I want to buy my house during the next 5 years.
If I have make the purchase, I will invite you.
P.S.
Your headline contains a spelling error. DECLARES
First of all thanks for catching the error! That's worth money so expect a bigger percentage upvote! With it you're one step closer to buying your house!! hahaha
I have great respect for your knowledge and use of Bitcoin and the coffee is coming soon.
Have you seen this project? https://remittio.com/faq/
Thanks for the information provided by the link and of course for your generous vote. I will remember this and buy some prosecco for you as soon I have bought my house.
I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks for sharing @kus-knee. I have few properties for sale in bitcoin @panama.

Nice stuff man. What about residency?
That's amazing news! I'm pretty new here and I hope we really take off! Join the Steem train!
Welcome to Steemit. I'm so happy that you've arrived!
Thanks!
As usually, the Swiss open to new financial ways before everyone else.
Well Etherium did put their head office here!
