A large slice of tropical paradise bordering the Coral Sea has become one of the first properties in regional Queensland to be put up for sale for cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Aquila Cove, 100km south of Mackay, has been owned by the same family for generations and recently hit the market for 30 bitcoin or 440 ethereum.<\/a><\/p>\n

John De Costa, the owner of the 162-acre block of land, said he had\u00a0been trying to sell the place on and off for five years for $2.2 million.<\/p>\n

At the present\u00a0market rate, 30 bitcoins are equivalent to about $2,040,013.<\/p>\n
