Why Bitcoin Might Be More ‘Real’ Than Real Estate

Ah, the classic tale of a businessman who made his fortune from brick and mortar, but now finds himself waxing poetic about the new-age digital currency. Eric Trump, a man whose heart beats for real estate, took a bold stance the other day, throwing a rather surprising jab at the good ol’ land and buildings. “Real estate is a great store of value, no question,” he said, “but it’s about as liquid as a rock in a desert.”

Well, he has a point. Selling a hotel? That’s a process that could take longer than it takes to binge-watch an entire season of your favorite Netflix show. But Bitcoin? Oh no, Bitcoin doesn’t waste time. It’s liquid, borderless, and operates 24/7—basically the opposite of your local real estate market. So, you know, if you want to get rid of a hotel, you’re going to need more than just a good pitch.

Trump emphasized how Bitcoin transactions are faster than an impatient shopper at a Black Friday sale. Global transactions? “Unbelievable!” he exclaimed, which, let’s be real, is probably how he’d describe his family’s latest yacht purchase too. Bitcoin, he claims, is a “perfect complement” to the hard-assets that have kept his family afloat for generations. Sure, Bitcoin doesn’t exactly have a solid foundation made of concrete and steel, but it sure does come with some nice features.

His interest in Bitcoin didn’t just come from a random late-night Twitter scroll. No, no. It was sparked by mingling with like-minded individuals who probably spend more time in boardrooms than at family dinners. And, of course, regulatory scrutiny—because what’s a good digital investment without a bit of government eyeing you suspiciously? His partnership with Hut 8, a well-known Bitcoin mining firm, only cemented his belief in the power of the blockchain revolution.

“It’s the perfect synergy,” Trump mused, reminiscing about his transition from real estate to the brave new world of digital currency. “Bitcoin is here to stay—whether you like it or not. And trust me, it’s powerful.” Sounds like a man who’s in it for the long haul… or at least until the next shiny asset comes along.
