The Age of Bitcoin: Purchasing Real Estate in Dubai for Sale Using Cryptocurrency
There might be a new way to purchase real estate in Dubai for sale and that
is through bitcoin. If you are wondering what it is, bitcoin is a form of
digital currency or referred to as cryptocurrency and is an electronic payment
system based on mathematical proof. Unlike the dirham, dollar, euro or any
other printed, physical currency note, bitcoin is created and used
electronically. It means you can buy staff or make online purchases
electronically as long as bitcoin is a supported form of payment. It is
unconventional in the sense that it has no physical form and is decentralized
since no single institution have sole control of the bitcoin network. It is
like diamond, gold, silver or any other precious gemstones and metals due to
the digital mining involved. There are upcoming plans to implement bitcoin as
another way to purchase real estates in Dubai.
Bitcoin in a Nutshell
The projected date to implement bitcoin for buying
real estate homes will be late 2019
but you may want to know more about the cryptocurrency’s history. In 2008,
Satoshi Nakamoto posted a paper titled “Bitcoin:
A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. The bitcoin network was launched in
January 2009 with Nakamoto mining the first 50 genesis block of bitcoin. In its
earliest days, the concept and system of bitcoin was ridiculed by many people.
Even so, bitcoin (BTC) slowly rose in value and by 2011 it had already equalled
the US Dollar. The following succeeding years saw the rise, fall and rise again
of BTC prices. Like any currency, bitcoin too is affected by global factors
leading to several market crashes throughout the years. You might be shock to
find out that the price of one BTC right now is over $4300 US Dollars and went
as high as $5000 US Dollars in September of this year. Its value today is a far
cry of its value during its earliest days and BTC is now being taken seriously.
Nations, governments and even big companies are getting into bitcoin while you
are reading this.
Bitcoin as a Payment Method for Buying Dubai
Properties
By late 2019, there will be real estate
companies accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment for the purchase of regular
homes and even Dubai luxury houses.
This will give bitcoin early adopters an opportunity to procure a property in
Dubai using their hard earned cryptocurrency. It will also allow real estate
companies to penetrate deeper into the bitcoin market.
