Anywhere in the world where cryptocurrencies are not banned, it is possible to buy anything for BTC if there is someone selling something, and someone who wants to buy something in that way. Of course, every country has its own rules for such transactions, but I don't think it makes much difference whether you buy a house with fiat or BTC. If it's a large amount of money, you'll always need to prove its origin and pay all fees that are required by law.

However, the question arises whether it makes sense for someone to buy a house/apartment and pay with BTC (if that brings additional complications) or simply sell BTC and pay the money into a bank account and thus buy real estate. In addition, if you live in a relatively small country, it would certainly not be wise to attract attention in such a way - keeping a low profile in case you have a large value in cryptocurrencies is a matter of personal safety.

In my country, we almost always hide our BTC investments or portfolio from friends and neighbors because there's no saying the way the law enforcement agencies or even criminals may pounce on you just to get some BTC from you or get credited upon converting your BTC to Naira .

It may be next to impossible to even find a realtor willing to accept BTC as payments upon purchase of a house and because the C of O is along other payment documents, a requirement to present to authorities incase of questioning or change of ownership. Unless the seller understands your concerns and knows crypto currency so much so that they can convert and trade between pairs, thus accepting BTC from a buyer will be easy and documentation may not even be an issue at all.

Just like if you are buying the house with fiat or local currency. But people will follow legal procedures to acquire a house, making sure it is not scam. I see this just like fiat scam if possible it happens.

If you do not want any reorganization attack to occur (but which is not possible as bitcoin network is right now), you need to wait for 56 confirmations. The reorganization risk is 0% starting from 56 confirmations.

But the way bitcoin network is right now, there is no problem with having just 2 confirmations.

On the website of Bitpay, we have the list of agencies accepting Bitcoin via Bitpay, in that case, it seems that there is a conversion into FIAT.

As taxation and laws are constantly changing, I suppose real estate agencies adapt, disappear or finally refuse to accept payments in btc. But Switzerland seems to have regulated the purchase of real estate in btc.

Here in the Philippines it's possible to buy property with BTC but like in France there are tax and administrative challenges. Crypto is considered an asset here so selling BTC to buy a house would likely trigger capital gains tax. Plus most transactions still require conversion to PHP at some point as taxes, notary fees & other legal costs must be paid in fiat.

Buying a property in my country may be a personal business between the buyer and the seller, and whatever means that they accept as a medium of payment may actually stand. I think what is actually frowned upon in my country is listing your property in another currency, which is not the naira. For instance, people listing their property in dollars is heavily frowned upon and against the rules of my country, although some people still do it and are able to get away with it.

There is nothing like zero risk in life. I believe in Bitcoin blockchain security, and many people believe similarly so that Bitcoin has very high value in the market.

It's pure belief that is not helpful for your fund safety so if you are carefully and don't want nothing wrong with your trade, you will take that confirmation number recommendations into account. The higher value of your trade with your trade partner, your concern on number of confirmation must be bigger and you naturally will wait a little bit longer like 30 more minutes, 60 more minutes to have better security and safety.

I believe that if you are trading your fortune, you will not take very high risk by 1 or 2 confirmations.

With very big trade, it makes sense to do it in several transactions.

It might be hard to believe, but this business isn't as heavily regulated in my country as in other countries. Lots of people buy houses from developers, run repairs and then resell it. In my country, if you buy an apartment and resell it after 2 years, you don't pay taxes, as far as I know,w but if you sell it before 2 years, you have to pay up to 20% capital gain tax.

I think that if you agree with the seller, you'll be able to buy a house with Bitcoins. The seller can lie and say that he paid with cash.
Btw rent is heavily unregulated here. People rent houses and don't pay any money to the government, they don't even fill any documents, so if your landlord agrees, paying rent with Bitcoins shouldn't be a problem.

I thought the thread was about whether 1 Bitcoin could buy a house in your country.

Legal discussions in a multinational forum yield limited results, especially since many still consider Bitcoin a higher-yielding investment than land or real estate.

So even if it were possible to buy a house with Bitcoin, I don't think you would do so if you had other options/investments.
