Awesome. Yea the main purchase I'm interested in eventually using a small amount of my bitcoin for is to buy land. Your lake looks great! Can you rename it to Lake Bitcoin??
Buying land is almost always a good investment. As Mark Twain said, "they don't make it anymore". Hopefully it's for the purpose of enjoying its use and not just as an investment. Bitcoin is still an even better investment.
My biggest previous Bitcoin purchase (during the "dead cat" bounce in January 2018) was my first property in Mexico. I didn't buy it as an investment. I bought it as a place to spend my winters. Having a place to winter rent-free and tax-free has saved me lots of money and it has already probably doubled in value. Still, if I'd saved the Bitcoin I spent on it, I'd have made much more profit.
Likewise, I'm not buying my lake as an investment. Sure, I could spend some more coin improving the road in, connecting to the electrical grid and applying to subdivide the property into cottage lots but that's not why I'm buying it. I want it as a super-private nature retreat, barely a half hour by air from downtown Toronto for me and my wife and our families and close friends. The taxes are ridiculously low. No sense giving them an excuse to raise them.
Yes, I could almost surely make more by leaving my money in Bitcoin but money is just money. Enjoying life is much more important.

Lake Bitcoin? I've thought about it.
The lake isn't named on any map I've seen so far. It has a name that has long been used by the local people and local government. I suppose I could just start calling it Lake Bitcoin and see if it catches on. Rural people have an innate distrust of city folk though and there's no sense aggravating the situation by renaming the local geography.
Obviously I don't want to advertise my Bitcoin involvement. My days of wearing
BTC ballcaps and t-shirts in public are long gone. You can still buy a wrench for $5.
I guess I could call it Lake Bitcoin among my Bitcoin friends and still refer to it by its original name in public.
