Sadly, I didn't take the Bitcoin plunge - had you invested $741 on 11/30/16, it would now be worth over $8,200 in one short year!

Like most people, I'm of the age that conservative investments is more my speed and didn't take advantage. In fact, I thought it would be a riduculous investment!

Will title company accept Bitcoin at escrow?  How about Paypal or Apple money?? How about paying in pet rocks?

Nope, but I have assisted clients that want to be in the "minimg"business. I have a client with about 100 acres and 10MW 3 phase (plus 20MW more available). Your container and equip youo can lease a space for $3500 per mo and electricty in 2.5cents per KWH plus a $2-5 surcharge. BUT many are flakes and will waste time. So we only work with an upfront deposit and prepaid lease. Can be up and running in 45 days depending on needs and specs.

I have been looking into setting up a little "mining" operation for some passive investments. I wish I had sold that Papa John's pizza, years ago, for the 10,000 Bitcoins. It would be an $87,499,990 pizza at this point.

I need to chat with a few who have converted Crypto to foldable currency.

This looks like a money laundering Mecca. Lacking any need for such laundry services, I do see a tax avoidance benefit. 

Again, I need to chat with those you have converted to cash and understand their legal foundation.
