Advanced Bitcoin Technologies AG: Buy real estate with Bitcoin – SecPay.io cooperates with Black Label Immobilien

Buying your dream property with Bitcoin is finally becoming a reality. Thanks to the cooperation between SecPay.io and Black Label Immobilien, buyers can now use their crypto assets via the exchange service with Bitcoin price guarantee to fulfill their real estate dreams easily, conveniently, and in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements. This innovative user experience is enabled by the cooperation between savedroid FL GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of Advanced Bitcoin Technologies AG, and BLP Investments GmbH to use the fully regulated Bitcoin payment gateway SecPay.io.

Until now, the process of using existing crypto assets to purchase real estate has been painful, time-consuming, and expensive. First, Bitcoin had to be transferred from the private wallet to a crypto exchange, then exchanged for Euros, then the Euros were paid out to the bank Account, and finally transferred from there to pay the property purchase price, which in practice requires a lot of manual work and regularly takes far more than 48 hours. Given the large amounts required to purchase a property, the high volatility of the Bitcoin price, and the existing regulatory withdrawal restrictions for cryptocurrency proceeds, this is an extremely unsatisfactory user experience. Through the cooperation between SecPay.io and Black Label Immobilien, buying real estate with Bitcoin is now possible for the first time quickly and without detours, with a Bitcoin price guarantee and at low transaction costs through the fully regulated exchange service, which offers buyers significant advantages.

Advanced Bitcoin Technologies AG: SecPay.io and GoldSilberShop.de create the first serious connection between Bitcoin and Gold for private investors in Europe

From now on, private investors from all over Europe can exchange Bitcoin directly for Gold easily, quickly and securely at GoldSilberShop.de. Thanks to the Bitcoin price guarantee of SecPay.io and GoldSilberShop.de’s multiple award-winning range of precious metals, private investors benefit from a new and trustworthy user experience. This innovation is made possible by the cooperation between savedroid FL GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of Advanced Bitcoin Technologies AG, and SOLIT Management GmbH for the integration of the Bitcoin payment plugin SecPay.io on GoldSilberShop.de.

Until now, the process of exchanging Bitcoin for Gold had been tedious, time-consuming and risky for private investors. First, Bitcoin had to be transferred from the private wallet to a crypto exchange, then exchanged for Euros there, then the Euros needed to be paid out to the bank account and finally had to be transferred from there to the merchant to pay for the Gold purchase, which in practice requires a lot of work and regularly took about 48 hours. A very unsatisfactory user experience given the volatility of Bitcoin and Gold prices. Thanks to the cooperation between SecPay.io and GoldSilberShop.de, it is now possible for the first time to exchange Bitcoin for Gold in just a few minutes without detours and with a Bitcoin price guarantee, which offers private investors significant advantages.
