Does anyone know whether or not selling my Brooklyn condo for Bitcoin is a good idea? I’m thinking of listing it for Bitcoin only.

Would you have invested that $$$ into crypto anyway?
Upside to selling in crypto is that you’d probably avoid commission fees on the crypto purchase. Downside is I would image it would take a bit of work to handle the closing and tax process.

Good points, sounds like you already put a good amount of thought into it.

Look forward to seeing the news article!

Bitcoin is at its all time high. Are you planning to sell or hold? What is your motivation of doing so?

Scenario 1: you sell it off. I don’t see any benefits in doing so.

Scenario 2: you hold and market keeps going upwards. You ‘time the market’ (which is impossible) sell making profit.

Scenario 3: you hold and for some random reason bitcoin crashes tomorrow. Your $1.2 M fall down like house of cards. You lose your property and it’s worth.

There are too many moving factors to this. Such high risk investments should never exceed 3-5% of your total investments. I am not aware about your financial situation, but if 1.2M is not significant for you, go ahead. But if that constitutes majority of your net worth, it’s a HUGE gamble.

My 2 cents on this are never gamble real asset. I have seen people crash and lose their everything because of this. Always make substantial financial decisions based on worst case scenario.

I think its fine. If you have a condo in El-paso you could sell it for Ether, or a condo in Raleigh for ripple. You can't go wrong as long as the first letter is same.

The risks don't seem worth the benefits, just thinking of the logistics. The dollar value of btc could shift meaningfully between when you list the home in btc and when you actually agree and again when you actually get paid.

And you reduce the number of potential buyers. 95% of people don't own any crypto. And the vast majority of those that do probably need a mortgage, bu can't get a mortgage in btc because that would set off too many red flags at banks. Would the relative handful of bitcoin millionaires want your property?

The mortgage issue is a legitimate concern though... Most people don't just have $1m in crypto lying around, and the ones who do tend not to get it involved in something tax authorities have oversight on.

Do it to get all eyes on it. Someone's gonna offer USD. Take the best offer.

Discovered major pay difference between myself and two new male hires with equal experience. Asked for a raise and was shot down due to Covid and essentially told they make more (were talking a 30k) bc they don’t have my “other responsibilities” aKa my two kids. I know my productivity is effected by parental responsibility but I don’t feel that alone justifies the difference. I know our billable output isn’t drastically different. Not sure what my next steps should be and welcome any advice.
