Real Estate to Bitcoin Investing - Easy change?
The value of bitcoin has skyrocketed, has anyone here cashed out yet for REI purposes? It seems ironic to use a highly volatile currency to fund a sometimes volatile industry. As real estate investors, do you find the crossover to currency/cryptocurrency trading is easy? Do they share many similarities? I would like to get more into Cryptocurrency investment myself.

@Tyrel McAllister, my son who's a "gamer" missed his opportunity to get into bitcoin early, but knows a fellow gamer who didn't miss, and who cashed (as it turns out, a little early) a few months ago, and has bought 20+ houses around Victoria, Australia, including his own home in arguably the best Melbourne suburb (Toorak). He's now a self-confessed retiree - aged: 21.
