There are really all sorts of things bitcoin can buy, and you can now add an over-the-top and obscenely large monster truck to that list.
Pointed out by a Reddit.com user on Monday, the truck — described accurately as an “Extreme Off-Road 4×4 Recreational Vehicle” — is listed on BitPremier, a web service that specializes in luxury items in exchange for bitcoin.

This 32-foot-long monster built from a 2002 Ford Excursion (and stretched) weighs in at a whopping 13,500 lbs. With 66″ Firestone Turf Tires, the truck can take a beating, and can take 12 passengers and 1 driver in the process.
Here is is described:
[blockquote style=”2″]Here is your opportunity to own a small engineering marvel, one that you can drive, take to the dunes, impress your friends, market your company, have as a showpiece in your private collection, make money selling adventure thrill rides, income doing TV/commercials/film, use it for charity events, or all of the above. Maybe you are just need to have the baddest recreational machine out there. There is no end to the options this truck could be utilized for and this truck was built to handle them all. Not one person who has seen it (motorsports fans or not) has been unimpressed, and those who have been for a ride have appreciated its quality, agility, thrill, and amenities. Anyone with money can buy a nice car, but only one person can own this luxury off road machine. Sometimes, you just have to take it off the pavement, and this is the most extraordinary way to do it.[/blockquote]
And if you think this monster truck comes with a monster price, you would be absolutely correct.
The truck — located in Arizona — is priced at nearly $1,000,000 USD. Specifically, $980,000, or about Ƀ1,948.775.

Doesn’t sound like such a good deal to me for the seller for instance if you were selling a $1 million dollar property these schmucks are going to take $50,000 for a fraction of that you could pay someone to make you a website or make it yourself to sell it.
