The artist-freelancer sells his house for 18 bitcoins. 49-year-old Sean Atkinson decided to expose his terraced house in Grimsby, UK for sale, having accepted payment in bitcoins. He said: ‘Why not a terraced house in Grimsby?’ adding that he would be repainting the humble abode in the hopes of adding to its attraction with buyers. However, crypto-enthusiast Atkinson said that part of the amount he needs in pounds: "For me it seems like a much better longer term investment. Unfortunately, I can’t do the entire sale in Bitcoin, due to the process I have to go through with my solicitor, which means there is also a cash payment required of £100". Note that in recent years more and more buyers and sellers of real estate are choosing bitcoin as a method of payment.
