With anything, do your due diligence, the bitcoin market is extremely volatile

I'm not an anti-stock market guy by any means, but I recognize that attractive long-term returns in equities will include a lot of volatility along the way. 

I appreciate the tangible value (of real estate... people will always need a place to live) vs the volatile value of a stock on paper that may not be worth the ink its written in or too easily misrepresented or manipulated.

In my area, anything under $1,000 a month is pretty safe while houses over $1,200 can be volatile when the energy industry takes a hit like it did in 2016.
