Hi Derek - I figured you'd be retired now given how well bitcoin has done.

Telsa even beats bitcoin I think.

I'm here to learn.About:Name: Frank Tore Thornæs, you can call me "Tore".Age: 28From: Trondheim, NorwayJob: Incident Manager, for a retail systems software companyI'm basically a nerd with a passion for FinTech, finance, investing and politics.My "finance hobby" started with Cryptocurrency mining in early 2013, and I've been invested in Bitcoin ever since.How did I get into real estate?

I do not want to have a situation where Bob uses cash app, Steve uses Venmo, Deloris uses checks, and Bill pays with bitcoin.  

does anyone use bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies?  

Just seeking information from other professionals if anyone has ever used or considered using bitcoin for investing. 

@Kristina Heimstaedt I could see your point about HELOC to get cash fast, I just saw a client pull a heloc out to buy bitcoin, and another to buy furniture (crazy).

In general, their 'costs' are paid from the sales proceeds and they leave closing with a check or other monetary instrument (like a wire transfer......I'm sure real cash has been used from time to time, maybe bitcoin....you get the idea, something worth liquid money). 

I would find one, buy it, and give it to my kids in 30 years along with a little story about how life has ups and downs and we shouldn't let that push us into a fear induced state of inactivity.Or just buy bitcoin...

Real Estate Meetups, Bitcoin Meetups, House Hack Meetups, Financial Independence Meetups are all good places to start!
