The sale in Caracas of a vehicle in Onix - the first Venezuelan cryptocurrency with blockchain platform - is the first transaction of goods of this type made in the country.
This is a 2010 Jeep Cherokee truck that was sold in 500 thousand onixcoins, an amount equivalent to 0.65 bitcoins or seven thousand dollars, according to their current quote.
"It's an interesting fact because people usually change cryptocurrencies for dollars and with them they buy the car, pay the tickets, etc. However, worldwide trading transactions are taking place in Bitcoins; people are beginning to trade directly in cryptocurrencies and accepting them more and more as a method of payment, "said Ángel Salazar, founding CEO of the Onix Project.
The Onix can be purchased through the website onixcoin.com where the user will find the price of the day, the Onixcoin portfolio, a loan platform and important information about the Onix Project.
The blockchain is a model that checks each transfer in a public access digital ledger as a way to guarantee the transparency of operations and avoid duplication of cryptocurrencies.
From a pizza to a house
The first purchase in bitcoins took place in Florida (USA) on May 22, 2010 when Laszlo Hanyecz, programmer and user of the BitcoinTalk site, published in his forum that he would pay 10 thousand Bitcoins to whoever brought him a couple of pizzas. A user took the floor and bought two pizzas at Papa Johns for 25 dollars, obtaining in exchange the 10 thousand bitcoins - which at the current rate exceed 165 million dollars.
On the other hand, Finques El Vent, in the province of Tarragona, Spain, is one of the first real estate agencies in that country to accept payment in bitcoins.
Hopefully, most cryptocurrency can become the future transaction method. It provides the alternative to paper currency as well as giving us a chance to have an increase value for early holders.
that's right we're going on that road very soon this will be very common in all countries
