“If you’re not ready to throw down cash for that new house, maybe you can dig deep for some … bitcoins? For the second time this week, a seller has promised to accept the virtual currency as valid payment for a new home, according to The Wall Street Journal. One seller in the Hamptons is asking nearly $800,000 — or that value in bitcoins — for a four-bedroom, ranch-style home first listed in October. Earlier this week, a former casino owner said he’d be willing to accept bitcoins for his $7.85 million Las Vegas home. Bitcoin is a digital currency introduced in 2009 that is not backed by a central bank or government. The currency can be traded online through unregulated Internet exchanges.”
