does anyone use bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies?  

The reason is money is just money and you can't take it with you.The TIME is what is the most valuable commodity on Earth even to the Billionaires out there.

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

For one, billionaires buy life insurance, so the notion that you won't need it one day is simply not true.

It may or may not work for them.You might tell them something in terms of your own understanding, but their understanding may be quite different.There's a reason why you can walk past billionaires on the sidewalk all day long: they choose to remain anonymous.

Eventually, they will have to come to terms with the fact that they are not going to be internet billionaires and they need to move out of mommy's house and into their own place.

We don't see any meaningful changes to our business model of value add acquisitions and re-positioning of large apt communities.1 ) Regulatory changes that impact RE ownership or advantages don't seem likely w a billionaire REI mogul in white house.2) Trump's platform seems focused on getting blue collar jobs back in U.S., increases in min wage laws more favor our apt resident base.3) We are watching it rates more w talks of fiscal stimulus but it's more of a wait n see.We continue to focus on the fundametals.

Conlon goes on to state that everyone can flip houses and amass a large amount of money, but everyone cannot become a billionaire.

@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).

My view is that a real estate investor can probably learn a lot from tax returns of a self-proclaimed multi-billionaire real estate developer.
