This would take away from anonymity, but may help the overall ecosystem because existing members may be influenced into moving some of their funds into BTC accounts. Also, what would happen if the bank ran full nodes? Offered BTC debit cards, credit cards, and loans?

Hello,
I did not see a current thread on sports and decided to make this one. Feel free share the sports that you watch, play, and the team or players that you favorite.
MLB: Game 6 of the World Series is this evening. If Cleveland wins, they will be the second North American city ever to win two major sports championships in one season. The other city is Los Angeles with the Dodgers and Lakers in 1988 and again in 2002.
NFL: The NFL is reaching the mid-season point, and one of the more surprising NFC teams has been the Dallas Cowboys. It looks like the Cowboys, Seahawks, and Vikings have the best chances of making the Super Bowl on the NFC side. New England, Oakland, and Pittsburgh are at the top of the AFC. It will be interesting to see what happens during this upcoming trade deadline.
NBA: The NBA just started and the usual top tier teams are performing as expected. Kawhi Leonard is playing awesome this first week, as is Lebron James. Oh...and it looks like there should be an announcement for Space Jam 2 sometime this month.

Looking to buy a house and spend some BTC? As a growing number of businesses warm up to bitcoin-a relatively new form of virtual money-the real estate industry may be next to embrace the somewhat controversial currency. BOND New York, a property brokerage in Manhattan, started 2014 with an announcement that it would recognize bitcoin as a viable payment option for real estate deals. The realty office-which says the virtual currency will facilitate mobile payments, increase security, curtail fees and strengthen identity protection-is thought to be the first traditional real estate office in the country to officially welcome bitcoin, which has a value of roughly $750 per unit. According to BOND New York co-founder Noah Freedman, "Bitcoin is a convenient and inexpensive way for our customers to transfer money so we see it as a win-win situation which will impact the real estate industry."

Largest Swiss Railway Company Turns 1000+ Ticket Machines Into Bitcoin ATMs
The national railway company of Switzerland, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), recently announced a new service. Starting on November 11, Swiss customers will be able to buy bitcoins from over 1000 SBB ticket machines.
Switzerland has long been a bitcoin-friendly country. In April, the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (FTA) made a decision exempting bitcoin from Value Added Tax (VAT), after three bitcoin organizations asked for clarification in 2014. “This is the most reasonable way to classify Bitcoins in the context of VAT,” said Luzius Meisser, President of Bitcoin Association Switzerland. “Bitcoin is a currency, and thus should also be treated like a currency.”

The price of Bitcoin has gone up about 5% since the beginning of this week. If you frequent social media sites, you will see posts and tweets campaigning for the glory that is #bitcoin. Although not quite to its peak of $800 earlier this year, Bitcoin is sitting comfortable around $665 today and is speculated to surpass the $800 mark at the beginning of 2017.
One reason that Bitcoin is surging could be because it is election time in the United States. Every four years when a president is elected, the U.S. economy tends to waver in certain industries. Finance is one of these industries. Voters tend to not trust the economic principles of candidates running for competing political parties. The potential scenario that a candidate from another party may become their new leader of their economy creates an uncertainty in the minds of many voters, who may lose confidence in the U.S. economy, even if it is for a short period during election time.Since the U.S. stock market is heavily regulated by the government, investors typically seek alternative investments to the stock market when a new president is elected. This creates a lucrative opportunity for Bitcoin's ecosystem because more dollars are exchanged into the market, thus increasing the market capitalization of BTC. Regardless of which candidate is elected, the uncertainty of the U.S. economy over the next few months correlates to higher pricing for Bitcoin.

Introducing RealEst. Coin - The Commercial Real Estate Coin
Bounty: PM us or reply to this post with your request and you will receive 1 REALEST. This is not a giveaway thread for bumps, however we understand some members are more comfortable replying instead of sending a PM. Both ways work for us! We are offering buy 10 coins and get 1 free. The price of 1 REALEST is $20 USD.
"Real estate investing, even on a very small scale, remains a tried and true means of building an individual's cash flow and wealth." -Robert Kiyosaki Who
We are located in the heartbeat of California: Silicon Valley. It is a place where the residents have priced themselves out of the real estate market because they have driven the demand up to exorbitant levels. Our experienced team has a diverse background in real estate, accounting, legal, government, technology, and marketing work. We see what needs to be done or can be done, and we do it. We have the Bay Area passion that is required to succeed in this competitive market. We have identified an enormously advantageous opportunity in the real estate market.
What
We are presenting our RealEst. coin to assist you in creating steady, stable income. It is a great way to get your feet wet for new real estate investors, and offers the wise return strategy that seasoned investors will appreciate. Look at how many businesses around you are chains. Have you ever wondered why?
Landlords favor chains because they offer corporate guarantees. For example, if Walgreens signs a 20 year lease with you but their sales slump year after year and they decide to shut their doors after year 7, then Walgreens will continue to pay out the remaining 13 years of the lease. Retail, restaurant, medical, technology, automotive, and office are all industries that typically sign triple net leased deals.
Another benefit of triple net properties is that the tenant pays for the common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance. Yield from single tenant triple leased real estate exceeded that of 10-year U.S. Treasury securities by 467 basis points as of November 2012. That difference has only continued to increase over the last four years.
When
RealEst. coin is available now. We plan on completing Phase 1 and purchasing the first round of investment properties in Q1 2018. We will begin paying out RealEst. coin rewards on a monthly basis beginning Q2 2018. The sooner we are able to complete funding then the quicker the rewards will be realized. We are at the perfect cusp of the real estate market to purchase some really wonderful commercial properties at great deals, and the demand from national tenants is at an all-time high. Chains are expanding and they are looking for their next location. We are in the middle of the equilibrium now.
Why
Bitcoin has its advantages, but it also has its limitations. For one, the volatility of btc is enough to give you the shivers. Also, the fee that btc exchanges charge is down-right criminal. And remember, btc is not tied to any real asset; if the popularity or support of btc drops then so will the amount in your account. Btc is a wonderful tool in the business world, but should not be one’s only option.
Closing
We are excited to get this project off the ground. We know there are many different avenues when it comes to crowdfunding, real estate, and technology; this is the perfect synergy of their benefits. It is easy, fast, secure, and safe. There is an abundance of coin offerings, but do you know what your money is really being invested in? Can you go visit that investment or take pictures of the asset? With RealEst. coin, you would be able to go visit the investment. The asset would have a physical address with a national level tenant.
"90% of all millionaires become so through owning real estate." -Andrew Carnegie

**12/20/17 update with complete Whitepaper below. Please click all of the provided links when reading. Thank you!** Net Leased Investments with RealEst. Coin What are Triple Net Leased Investments?Many real estate investors become dissatisfied with the management problems associated with real estate investment ownership. In recent years, more investors are becoming familiar with the ease of owning commercial property occupied by a single credit rated national tenant, using the vehicle of a long term triple net lease (NNN). The advantage of NNN leases is that the tenant is obligated to pay for all expenses associated with the operation of the property including property taxes, maintenance, insurance etc. When a NNN lease is executed with a national credit tenant, the investor can be assured of a management free property with minimal risk. Companies with a net worth of over $1 billion, such as Walgreens, Walmart, O’Reilly, Jack-in-the-Box, Barnes and Noble, Winn-Dixie, 7-Eleven, Inc. and Sherwin Williams, are the typical types of NNN leased investment properties that investors seek. Please watch the following video for more information on NNN leased properties.What are the typical returns from Triple Net Leased Investments?That depends on how you evaluate your investment. Capitalization Rates are the most common way to evaluate returns (take 1 year’s net income/purchase price). NNN leased investments currently average 5% to 8% capitalization rates depending on credit risk, location and value of the income stream. With the ups and downs of the stock market and the recent turmoil in residential housing, more and more investors are seeking refuge in single tenant NNN leased real estate investments. This increased demand, coupled with low interest rates, has produced favorable cap rates over the past 10 years. Internal rate of return (IRR) is the value of an investment over a period of time. Assuming over a specified period (usually 10 years) of income, appreciation, payment of debt (if any), resale value, cost of resale and discounting the numbers into today’s dollars, IRRs for NNN leased investments are usually 10%-14%. Yield from single tenant NNN leased real estate exceeded that of 10-year U.S. Treasury securities by 467 basis points as of November 2012.What is RealEst. coin?
The need for financial technology innovation in the commercial real estate industry is the inspiration behind RealEst. coin. RealEst. coin (REALEST) is an application coin based on the Bitcoin blockchain that can be used to purchase net leased real estate. RealEst. coin becomes an immediate, real world asset because its inherent value is in triple net leased properties acquired through the initial coin offering (ICO). RealEst. coin is vital to commercial real estate investing because its ability to be traded offers tax advantages similar to traditional 1031 Exchanges, but with more flexibility to the investor. Tax deferred real estate exchanges are a cornerstone to financial wealth building and RealEst. coin will help both novice and experienced investors achieve returns that are typically seen by well capitalized institutional funds and REITs. Due to the current legal nature of digital currencies, we must disclose that the use of RealEst. coin is explicitly for entertainment purposes only. The following information is provided to explain the utility of RealEst. coin in regards to real estate. However, professional legal, accounting, and financial advice is recommended before proceeding.RealEst. coin InvestingRealEst. coin allows investors to acquire ownership interest in net leased real estate. Stabilized net leased properties offer in-place cash flow that is guaranteed to the investor by the tenant or tenants leasing the property. We are able to source cash flowing and value-add triple net leased properties with attractive financing terms and transform them into beautiful investment projects. These properties are tangible assets that provide returns for your RealEst. coin portfolio.How do I get RealEst. coin?RealEst. coin can be exchanged with Bitcoin through the Vending Machine or Quick Exchange below. Two more simple ways to get RealEst. coin are with IndieSquare for mobile devices, or with Counterwallet for desktop access. Once a wallet is setup, go into the Exchange page > Select token > Search REALEST > Buy. Please note that a positive Bitcoin balance in your wallet is needed to exchange RealEst. coin.
How do I get Bitcoin?Bitcoin can be exchanged through any of the following services. Please conduct necessary due diligence before selecting your exchange.Why is RealEst. coin on the Bitcoin blockchain?Bitcoin is the most widely trusted and used digital currency in circulation. In 2012, 1 BTC was trading around $50; as of June 2016, 1 BTC is trading just over $600. This is the market performance since 2012 for comparable investments:Bitcoin is the epitome of how a digital currency expands its ecosystem through real world applications, and as a result increases its intrinsic value. RealEst. coin is positioned to follow, and hopefully surpass, the trajectory of Bitcoin because our application is specific to one use; net leased real estate investing. Real estate investing, whether individually or in a partnership, generally takes a significant amount of capital to acquire a property. Net leased investments offer the highest returns and lowest risk of all commercial real estate asset types. They are typically priced above $1,000,000 and available only to accredited investors who have an income of $200,000 annually or a net worth of at least $1,000,000. This financing requirement creates a higher barrier to entry to net leased property ownership. In comparison, RealEst. coin investors can realize the same long-term, stabilized returns as accredited investors because RealEst. coin eliminates the accreditation requirement and leverages a decentralized crowdfunding ecosystem that offers ownership for as little as $10, the opening price of 1 RealEst. coin.What is the property acquisition criteria for RealEst. coin?RealEst. coin targets new and remodeled, stabilized single-tenant net leased properties nationally. Value-add net leased multi-tenant properties in California will also be considered. There is an emphasis on medical, retail, financial services, and automotive tenants in primary metropolitan markets with strong economic demographics. Properties and portfolios will be acquired from developers, asset managers, sale-leasebacks, and brokers. Every acquisition will be announced so that investors know what properties are funded with RealEst. coin. All properties acquired will be insured.
The requirement for first year cap rates is a minimum of 6%. All leases must contain rent escalations and renewal options. For single-tenant acquisitions a minimum of 12 years left on the primary term of the lease is required, with a preference for credit rated tenants that will corporate guarantee the lease. This means that in the event that the store ceases operations locally, their corporate entity is obligated to continue paying rent at the location through the duration of the primary lease term. Financially strong franchisees that operate multiple locations may be considered. For multi-tenant properties there is a preference for at least 9 years left on the primary lease term with renewal options. Properties will typically be held for approximately 8 years and then exchanged for replacement properties. In prevailing cases, the tenancy may be renewed with a long term lease at fair market value which would offer a higher return on investment (ROI) than projected in the following examples. The purpose of this management strategy is to offer diversity, low exposure, and sustainable returns during economic uptick and downturn cycles.How many RealEst. coins will be in circulation?There will be 1,000,000 RealEst. coins in circulation initially. Pricing for 1 RealEst. coin will open at .000005 BTC or approximately $0.10 USD as of December, 2017. The second phase will include the release of an additional 1,000,000.How will RealEst. coins be allocated?Approximately half of the RealEst. coins raised through the ICO will be used to purchase 1 single tenant net leased property during Q1 2018. The remaining coins will be used to purchase 1 to 2 more net leased properties during Q2 2018. RealEst. coin payouts will be distributed monthly starting with the first lease payment from the first acquisition; this target date is between January 1 and February 1, 2017. RealEst. coin performance will be announced quarterly.RealEst. coin PromiseWe are more than your real estate team: we're a member of each and every community we serve. There are many ways that we give back, and the one we are most proud of is our RealEst. Coin Promise. We are proudly pledging a portion of our company's RealEst. coin rewards to local nonprofits. We promise to better our community and believe tomorrow will be even better than today.Cause and Effect of RealEst. Coin
Commercial real estate is an antiquated industry in terms of its implementation of modern financial technologies. For international investors, RealEst. coin offers a seamless gateway into ownership of net leased real estate located in the U.S. For U.S. investors, industry wide adoption of RealEst. coin will give buyers and sellers of commercial real estate another way to realize some of the same benefits of traditional 1031 Exchanges. Unlike traditional 1031 Exchanges, RealEst. coin has no constraints in regards to timelines to execute an exchange and the amount of capital gains tax that can be deferred.
RealEst. coin is an innovative technology that makes it easier for real estate investors, regardless of their capital resources, to take steps towards wealth building. Its flexibility makes it easy to use in the residential, development, and financing sectors which will be included in the near future. We are confident RealEst. coin will allow more real estate investors to obtain long term financial security needed to establish generational wealth.**Update 11/2/2016** We have just published our first Podcast episode, called the RealEst.

The Virtual is Real: An Argument for Characterizing Bitcoins as Private Property Via http://www.thelegrandgroup.com/blogs/post/The-Virtual-Is-Real/"The usage of a bitcoin is necessarily a matter of exclusion because bitcoins are inherently highly rivalrous. By inherently highly rivalrous I mean that if one person uses a bitcoin, it is impossible for someone else to use that bitcoin at the same time. In contrast, other information based resources, like ideas, are capable of being used by a multitude of persons at the same time. Basically, a bitcoin is more like a spoon than a song. If I am eating with a spoon it is impossible for you to eat with that spoon at the same time. In contrast, we may both sing the song." Do you think bitcoin should be considered private property? Also, what is going to happen to your bitcoin if you pass away? Cryptocurrency is offering exciting, new options within many different industries. The discussion within the bitcoin community will need to address these points at some time, and I am interested in hearing your opinion. |
