Just to be clear:

• Price is £8k or 0.91 BTC this will not change like many For Sale threads 'oh i've had a lot of interest so it's now £400 more expensive' etc...
  No. It's a flat, fixed price NO HAGGLING

• This does not include shipping. You buy, you pay for delivery. I will have it carefully rolled in a heavy duty cardboard tube protected at both ends, unless you want it shipped flat (or framed). We can discuss but you pay and I'll do what I can from my end.
  
  
  
  • I'm still getting used to making lists with bullet points and not sure why this one is further over
  
  
  
  
• I also may have Jack & Jill (unsigned) and Morons (unsigned) for sale for BTC depending on how this transaction goes
  
  
• Collection in person is welcome

I'm honestly not sure who would be getting the better deal here. While the price of BTC is currently down, it will come back up eventually, likely shooting higher (in fiat) than the originally quoted price.

So replenish your Crypto portfolio after the purchase! 💡

I really like your approach, I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet with btc dipping. No much of a crossover between the art world and the crypto world so it seems..

[daveart]

Bitcoin dropped right on the sweet spot for this deal .. wonder how many purchase offers you will get the day Bitcoin dumps to $7000 .. if it does. probably some people with their fingers on the buy button waiting for that moment.. good luck with the sale.. always loved this print and never grabbed one.

Hi Forum, 

OK so maybe it's one of those things you actually buy for yourself but then just say to your loved one 'Merry Christmas... I got us this!'

I'm looking to sell my Banksy Trolley Hunters. It's the unsigned POW edition and it's been framed in a part of the house which doesn't get any sunlight (the hallway).

It's in excellent condition, it comes with a certificate of authenticity from Pest Control, and a paper trail going back to the original POW purchase in 2008 (I am the third owner and I bought it in 2009).

Can sell framed on collection (Hampshire) or unframed in a sturdy cardboard tube!


Price is £8k or 0.91 BTC if you want to be part of the first Forum Bitcoin Banksy transaction

If you own Bitcoin then here is that chance to actually buy something tangible with your coins!

Be a part of urbanartassociation.com history!

Pay for this, put it on your wall and enjoy the story of how you bought it then top up the bitcoin again when you feel like! 

I will also accept certain other CryptoCurrencies PM for details.

Yes Slidingonthewalls, great to see Crypto being exchanged for an amazing physical asset. I run a specialist car concierge company and are in the process of selling a Pagani Huayra Roadster via Bitcoin. It would be the most expensive car ever sold via BTC.

It's the future everyone, like it or not, professor or whatnot, it's happening. And to think some people think it's just used for drug money/ sex trafficking/ weapons etc, you must do your research. Starbucks accepts BTC in some outlets..... since when has a Soy Chai Latte with and extra shot of espresso been used to kill someone? Oh and not to question... how much tax does Starbucks pay again?

[Sliding on the Walls]

Lots of PM's, lots of people with the same (understandable) concerns about sending bitcoin to somebody who could potentially do a runner with their money.

I have now signed up to Bitrated and I have a score of 31 putting me in the top 12% of users on that service.

I'm sure my score would be higher if I linked a facebook account but I do not have one!

I’ll probably buy this - PM me and we can organise, hv been meaning to pick up some Banksy pieces and doing it with BTC makes it all the better.

[njr911]

Good luck with the sales. I have a Trolley Hunter otherwise I would have bought with BTC, but I think it's a great idea!

[Sliding on the Walls]

Trolley Hunters is SOLD

The FIRST BANKSY to be sold with Bitcoin on this forum, possibly in the world!

Congratulations to Sparky999

[Happy Shopper]

in 5 years, I wonder what will be worth more? Unsigned Banksy Trolley Hunters or 0.91 BTC?

[lv90210]

The Banksy.

Banksy is the safer bet to slowly become worth more, bit if it's BTC it's going to be worth a LOT more.

IMHO it depends on whether or not central banks get tired of losing tax revenue on all the unreported bitcoin transactions.  ie. Every  bitcoin millionaire probably owes 300,000 in taxes.. but .. i doubt they are going to go self report. its really the same with every person with a 30K banksy that isnt probably putting that gain on their taxes (do you ?)  when selling in a private cash sale..   but .. bitcoin is massively larger than the private art market and governments and central banks may have to respond.  do you really favor defunding your local governments so you can play banking games with bitcoin? me personally, i value the central bank and the structure provided so, bitcoin has to be regulated and taxed appropriately at some point.

Anyway,
central banks and tax institutions stay out of it == bitcoin is going to work well
central banks and tax institutions get laws passed == bitcoin is heading the way of collecting beanie babies

See you in 5 years

[lv90210]

Agreed, BTC will, I think ETH and XRP are the future.

Well done, congrats. But don’t forget to pay the eventual capital gain tax despite the BTC transaction 😊

[mash]

Congrats on this, I like the way you stuck with the .91 bitcoin although the value rose and contraced 100% during the time of this thread.

Be interesting to follow your progress, conceivably by jumping in and out of art and crypto you could go from this to 100k and back again in a year or so.

Yep! I got in on XRP back in April 16' when it dipped to .15 I'm doing the long hold.

Since this is now sold, an Economics Nobel prize take on bitcoins and crypto currencies:

Oh, and in case you are wondering, his Nobel was motivated by his works on trade and currencies. But what does he know? I’m sure many on this forum know better 😊

I'm sorry but you cant put out a one sided story and say there you go...

Bitcoin has an intrinsic value because of the block chain. The block chain is like the invention of the wheel. Its such a big improvement over what we already have so unless somebody invents a better system then its here to stay. The individual coins them selves yes may be bubbles but crypto currencies definitely are not. So what makes Bitcoin better than fiat, which pretty much is a digital currency? Its more secure, I don't have to pay a bank huge fees as a middle man, I can pay anybody anywhere in the world with no hastle and most importantly it can't be quantitatively eased.
