A Brabant man sells his house for bitcoin, while someone from Arnhem makes his purchases with the largest cryptocurrency. Tim Hanekamp of Eindhoven sells his house for bitcoin (BTC). He tells the Dagblad Brabants about his motives: “I don’t know anyone in Brabant who has done this. But I believe in technology. You don’t have to go to a bank, mortgage advisor or notary.”

The house is for sale for a price between € 250,000 and € 300,000. But Hanekamp prefers to receive hard bitcoins for his house. Hanekamp: “It’s useful because I don’t have to change. There’s a lot involved. You have to go to a mortgage advisor, you have to deal with the interests again.” According to De Brabander, a transaction with bitcoin means that it will mainly have fewer administrative problems. When Hanekamp has sold his house, he goes on a trip to the motor home: “The value could well be one million per coin, so I buy a much nicer house.”

Therefore, Bitcoin is particularly useful in this situation to avoid several intermediaries. Bitcoin is a payment method, but it is by no means suitable for all situations. That does not prevent an Arnhemmer from shopping with BTC. A Redditor proudly shows the receipt of your purchases. The sumBTC user has paid very well through the Bitcoin Lightning Network for, among other things, some nuts and fish sticks.

It is an official payment method in the corresponding supermarket. In many places on the Internet you can already pay with bitcoin, but physical stores do not yet support it. If you still want to pay with bitcoin or other crypto currencies, it depends, for example, on a debit card like Coinbase. In this specific store there is a way to pay directly with bitcoin and the second fast layer called Lightning Network. A scan of the QR code and it’s ready.

Tokyo University Builds A Model House As If It Were A Balloon In Space https://startupfortune.com/tokyo-university-builds-a-model-house-as-if-it-were-a-balloon-in-space/ https://startupfortune.com/tokyo-university-builds-a-model-house-as-if-it-were-a-balloon-in-space/#respond Mon, 05 Aug 2019 13:01:32 +0000 https://startupfortune.com/?p=272 A model residence where people can live inflating like a balloon in space, the Space Colonies Research Center of the Tokyo University of Sciences and the main general contractor Shimizu Construction, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXAJaxa) made a prototype and they launched it on the 30th at the Onoda Campus (Noda City, Chiba Prefecture).

The model housing is made of polyester fiber fabric and folds up to 1 meter long and 50 centimeters thick so that it can be easily launched with a rocket before use. When it is inflated with air, it becomes a habitable space shaped like a kamaboko that is approximately 8 meters long, 5 meters wide and 2.5 meters high.

The interior is now empty, but in the future, experiments such as vegetable cultivation and water purification will be carried out. In the future, participants from other universities and private companies will be invited to establish new technologies such as energy supply and food production.

Chiaki Mukai, director of the research center and astronaut, said: “It is difficult to compete with Russia, the United States and China with rockets and satellites, but I think Japan can win in the field of clothing, food and housing.” Was.
