Probably because of the somewhat gambling nature of the developing blockchain/crypto space.

Should I use that money to pay off my MBA loan (23k) and invest the rest in crypto (Bitcoin, etherium, etc)?

Have you considered crypto currency?

Bad timing since we were planning a wedding at that time lol. long story short, our brand new house payed for by the insurance company should be done in February and after all this with the help of the rapid increase in property value as well as few crypto investments I have more capital (and equity) than I thought I personally could ever have at this time.As you all know, "I don't have time and I don't have money" are the two biggest excuses for people trying to get into real estate.

In addition to my W2, I also bring in income through cryptocurrency investing, so would be looking for someone with experience in both REI and crypto.

Look into purchasing Bitcoin, a currency that is increasing in value, relative to the American Dollar that has fallen short since coming off the gold standard.

I work in tech, make good money, but most of my Net Worth is tied up in ETFs, stocks, Crypto, and my 401K (I don't want to hold dollars now).

Gold, as a point of comparison, has a ten-year average return of 3.71%.Admittedly, the same can not be said about cryptocurrency, the poster child of which (Bitcoin) has an absurd ten-year average return of 230%.

I have zero stocks, bonds, 401k, IRA, but do dabble in the new "currencies" if you know what I mean.I believe everything is going down and have been waiting for over a year (when I exited the stock market completely in Dec 2020).

My nephew. two years ago, took $10,000 to $100,000 with Cryptocurrency.
