A few years ago, only 1% to 2% of all forms of money used in the US was physical dollars or coins. Today, it is likely that percentage has dropped even lower as more people rely on credit and debit cards, crowdfunding platforms, and cryptocurrencies to buy and sell goods, services, and assets. It was estimated two years ago that 180 different national currency systems used around the world. The British Pound being the oldest currency used today and there is talk today of the replacing of the U.S. dollar and other national currencies with the IMF. A global currency called Bancor.
However, Bancor has not been fully established yet, and the currency everyone is talking about is cryptocurrency. On January 3, 2018, the total combined market capitalization value of all global cryptocurrencies reached an all-time high of over $700 billion dollars. Before this, the market cap was a $654 billion reached on December 21, 2017.
The best cryptocurrency around the world is Bitcoin. The price for a share has been fluctuating, especially now because of the pandemic, but as a percentage of global dominance— Bitcoin is still the top ranked most valuable cryptocurrency. How does this relate to Real Estate?
Real estate values far exceed all other combined values of physical and digital currencies, stock markets, gold, and bank account deposits globally. It would be a natural transition for people with cryptocurrency to take that wealth and put it into real estate as a way to diversify their financial holdings.
