“A five-bedroom Perth Hills property for $1.4 million that overlooks a lake and has air-conditioning, a pool, timber decking and even a wood-fired pizza oven. The only catch: the owner must be paid in a digital currency known as bitcoin. The sale, which would make the property the first in Australia to be sold for bitcoin, is the latest sign WA is embracing digital dollars. But even bitcoin enthusiasts have been shocked by the offer, as the value of the currency fluctuates wildly. Perth businessman Bret Treasure, 53, chairman of the Australian Web Industry Association and a board member of Bitcoin Australia, believes it’s the first bitcoin house sale in Australia.”
