‘He’s going to consider offers made in one of the top 20 cryptocurrencies,’ Ms Gianniotis told Daily Mail Australia
The owner of the house and two apartments is an avid follower of cryptocurrencies and will accept them as payment for the ‘unique’ property
‘He’s going to consider offers made in one of the top 20 cryptocurrencies,’ Ms Gianniotis told Daily Mail Australia.
She admits to being no expert on cryptocurrencies but became intrigued by the alternative form of payment after researching it.
‘The owner is an avid follower of cryptocurrencies. It’s totally different.’
It’s the first time Ms Gianniotis has been involved in the sale of a home that has accepted cryptocurrencies.
‘It’s quite novel… it’s a fantastic investment.’
The property has views of Brisbane city, and Ms Gianniotis said it will offer about $1250 per week in rental income in what is a ‘thriving area’.
‘It’s so unique that you can’t really put a price on it,’ she said.
The property will be sold at auction.
In January, a weatherboard home in Sydney’s western suburbs was put up for sale for $800,000 or 45 Bitcoin.
Cryptocurrencies are considered highly volatile, with Bitcoin peaking at $25,000 in January before crashing by almost $10,000 in less than two weeks.
