Like you, I come from IT and I'm moving to RE, so obviously I'm thinking first about how the RE world can benefit from crypto and vice versa.

Apparently someone had made a deposit of several rolled coins a few days prior and they were all silver quarters, half dollars, and dimes.

If you do the appropriate research, and have a good understanding of what factors may likely lead to continued appreciation, that gamble seems like less of a true coin toss.

@Jesse HouserFor me - it was simply a matter of Control.I can live and also more importantly learn from my mistakes and directly benefit from making the right decisions.I do invest in stocks and bonds, and even in silver coins (as hedge).

That 25% pay bump from moving to the Bay Area might get them to the $1.125m price point (it's not really linear like that, but good enough for our purposes), but it's a coin toss if they will accept $1.125m as their buying power, or rent a really nice house from a landlord that doesn't calculate DTI ("gross income > 3x rent" gets you a LOT farther than DTI would get you, if you have a zillion dollars in student loan debt).That's a broad brush and there are a lot of doctors NOT described by that, to be certain.

No one knows whats going to happen beyond the flip of a coin and everyone's goals and risk tolerance is different.

But the other side to that coin is be sure you're interpreting the dream correctly

First, you’ve gotta drop a lot of coin.

No, people are not going to start carrying pockets full of gold coins to transact business.But, from this point forward, the way a real estate investor operates must change.
