If you are considering selling your investment property, then you may want to consider exchanging it for Crytpocurrency. The reason for divesting out of real estate and into Crytocurrency is because Bitcoin was up 1300% for 2017, with a high of 1900% for the year. In comparison, 8% was the U.S. Real Estate Investment Trust yearly average. The S&P 500 averaged 19% in 2017. Exchanging your property into Cryptocurrency can easily be done on the blockchain using verified smart contracts, which are digital versions of traditional real estate contracts. One of the best reasons to Crypto exchange is that your profits stay on the blockchain. This means that at closing all of your equity is readily available in the form of Cryptocurrency and can be re-invested in lieu of fiat currency. In many states, a licensed real estate broker is capable of facilitating a Cryptocurrency exchange and escrow. Using a broker provides accountability and protection for the seller. It is the easiest way to exchange real estate into Cryptocurrency and an exit strategy that all property sellers should take advantage of.

Real estate can be used to hedge losses in the Cryptocurrency market. Every year the Cryptocurrency market cap dips in Q1 and Q3 between 25-50%. Income producing real estate returns anywhere from 5-15% annually. Exchanging real estate into Cryptocurrency gives you a tangible real world asset. Your funds can even stay on the blockchain if you invest in tokenized real estate. Dividends are dispersed like a traditional investment and this gives the real estate token in intrinsic value upon issuance, which is rare in the world of blockchain developments. In terms of capital requirements, there is little to no barrier to entry for fractional ownership of a tokenized property. This makes it easy for anyone to own investment real estate on the blockchain.

Pro-tip: If you own real estate, there are a few options to generate income for Bitcoin:

-You could sell it and invest the profits into Bitcoin
-You could take out an equity loan to buy Bitcoin
-You could rent out the property for Bitcoin

This should be the message of the advertisement.

A cashless society would mean that bitcoin is well and thriving.

Other altcoins and app tokens will gain popularity. However, the bitcoin blockchain is the most important one and will not be replaced.

The best way is to fix the price of the item or service in fiat values. This ensures that the payment will always for the full amount, regardless of the pricing of bitcoin fluctuating.

"Who controls the Bitcoin network?

Nobody owns the Bitcoin network much like no one owns the technology behind email. Bitcoin is controlled by all Bitcoin users around the world. While developers are improving the software, they can't force a change in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose what software and version they use. In order to stay compatible with each other, all users need to use software complying with the same rules. Bitcoin can only work correctly with a complete consensus among all users. Therefore, all users and developers have a strong incentive to protect this consensus."

It sounds like the OP is wondering why Bitcoin.org does not advertise? This is a good question. They should advertise, especially considering PayPal has a new TV campaign. If Bitcoin.org asked for donations to go towards a commercial they would likely reach the goal. The community is responsive and would support it. 

Bitcoin is growing exponentially. At this rate, it seems the usage should double in the next 5 to 10 years.

It should definitely have a future. It is pretty much an open ledger QuickBooks, with nodes serving as auditors.

One of the biggest attractions is the fact that bitcoin is in a sustainable growth phase. The concept has already been proven.

This is the most logical way to get a range of how many users there really are.

Hopefully it will touch $800/btc this month.

Bringing newcomers into the bitcoin foray is usually a matter of opening a discussion as to what headlines they've already read on the topic of bitcoin. Providing a chart that shows the increase in value over the past few years is a good place to start highlighting the investment potential of btc.
