Bear market?
Did someone say something about a "Bear market"?
Really?
On Jan. 30, a regional news outlet reported how property in Australia is still being sold for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. For instance, Real Estate agency Ray White is selling a luxurious three-bathroom home in Surfers Paradise for $580,000 and the owner is willing to accept payment in BTC. In a suburb of Darwin, an apartment is selling for roughly 126 BTC or $600,000. The private listing says “We are happy to accept Bitcoin or any other major cryptocurrency instead of Australian dollars for this property.” Not only are homes selling for cryptocurrencies in Australia but people can purchase parcels of land with digital assets as well.
So while the mainstream media had all its bombastic headings about a "Bear market" the reality of the facts is that the usage of crypto in some areas of real life business and trading has definitely seen expansion.
I guess it is times like these, when times are full of FUD that we see the real truth behind the scenes!

Whilst this is a good sign (but an outlier..), the critical part of the equation is whether anyone will pay with Btc or other crypto! I'm hopeful for the system, but my experience so far with selling things second hand is that no one is willing to pay crypto so far. Or they have no idea what bitcoin is! Even with a 20% discount if they use crypto!

Good to see people still wanting crypto.

The best part about this to me was thinking back to 2017 and remembering when I gave "Real Estate Agents" as an example of businesses that could use Steem to promote their businesses and property listings etc etc etc.
I also remember a bunch of responses that were all really not in favor of it too!
I wonder what those voices would say today when all the hype is about "investors"!
;)
Gotta love it mate, seeing things evolve and move forwards and watching the headless chooks run around!
Cheers.
Haha yep :)
