Canadian man hopes to sell house for virtual currency, is met with real skepticism
Canadian man to sell house for Bitcoin virtual currency
A Canadian man is hoping to be the first person to sell his house for virtual currency Bitcoins.
Entrepreneur Taylor More listed his two-bedroom Alberta bungalow, asking 405,000 Canadian dollars (£261,000; $395,000) - or the equivalent in Bitcoins.
He says the first reaction of his family was that of a shock.
Bitcoins are now a widely used alternative payments system and one Bitcoin is currently worth about £37.
